0117616SmithDescription: This award is to support a collaborative project between a US team headed by Dr. Scot E. Smith, Department of Civil and Coastal Engineering, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida and a team headed by Dr. Hesham E. Monsef, Department of Geology, Suez Canal University, Ismailia, Egypt. They plan to address the question of sediment deposition and filling by sand dune encroachment in the Lake Nasser Reservoir (LNR) which was formed by the Aswan High Dam in southern Egypt. Specifically, they will examine available satellite images and actual data taken on the ground and in the lake, conduct preliminary field work on the phenomena of sediment transport and sediment deposition within the LNR, examine the usefulness of satellite remote sensing data in monitoring sediment deposition patterns in the LNR, and plan a study of sand dune migration in the vicinity of the LNR and sand dune encroachment into the reservoir. They expect to describe a plan of research for developing models to utilize satellite data for predicting sand migration and deposition in the reservoir.Scope: The project supports collaboration between two experienced teams, with the appropriate instruments, and with access to the necessary data and facilities. The project addresses an important topic for Egypt and for other countries with similar reservoir conditions. The large surface area of the lake and the hostile weather conditions most of the year, in that area of Egypt, impede the taking of ground measurements, and makes the use of remote sensing a very desirable approach. In addition to the University of Florida and the Suez Canal University, the project will involve investigators from the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation and from the Ministry of Agriculture in Egypt. One US graduate student will participate in the research. This project meets the INT objective of supporting collaborative research in areas of mutual interest.

0117616史密斯描述：这个奖项是为了支持一个合作项目之间的美国团队为首的博士斯科特E。史密斯博士，土木和海岸工程系，佛罗里达大学，盖恩斯维尔，佛罗里达和一个小组领导的博士HeshamE。Monsef，埃及伊斯梅利亚，苏伊士运河大学地质系。 他们计划解决埃及南部阿斯旺高坝形成的纳赛尔湖水库（LNR）中沙丘侵蚀造成的沉积物沉积和填充问题。 具体地说，他们将审查现有的卫星图像和在地面和湖中取得的实际数据，对自然保护区内的沉积物搬运和沉积现象进行初步的实地工作，审查卫星遥感数据在监测自然保护区内沉积物沉积模式方面的效用，并计划对自然保护区附近的沙丘迁移和沙丘侵入水库的情况进行研究。 他们希望描述一项研究计划，用于开发利用卫星数据预测储层中砂迁移和沉积的模型。范围：该项目支持两个经验丰富的团队之间的合作，使用适当的仪器，并获得必要的数据和设施。 该项目为埃及和其他具有类似水库条件的国家解决了一个重要课题。 在埃及的这一地区，湖泊面积很大，一年中大部分时间气候条件恶劣，这妨碍了地面测量，因此利用遥感是一种非常可取的办法。除了佛罗里达大学和苏伊士运河大学外，该项目还将涉及来自埃及水资源和灌溉部以及农业部的调查人员。 一名美国研究生将参与这项研究。 该项目符合INT的目标，即支持在共同感兴趣的领域进行合作研究。
