Dissertation note: Thesis (Ph.D.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Science - Department of Geology Summary: Southeastern part of the Western Desert of Egypt is marked by two main structural elements; Nubian fault system NFS and Komombo basin. This study addresses the structural architecture and tectonic evolution of both elements. Detailed surface geological mapping and subsurface seismic interpretation have been integrated to unravel the structural style and kinematic history of the Nubian Fault System (NFS). The NFS consists of several E-W Principal Deformation Zones (PDZs) (e.g. Kalabsha fault). Each PDZ is defined by spectacular E-W, WNW and ENE dextral strike-slip faults, NNE sinistral strike-slip faults, NE to ENE folds, and NNW normal faults. Each fault zone has typical self-similar strike-slip architecture comprising multiscale fault segments. Several multi-scale uplifts and basins were developed at the stepover zones between parallel strike-slip fault segments as a result of local extension or contraction. Contractional step-over is represented by an eroded fold structure that is cored sometimes by a rhombic shaped basement mass. The NNE faults consist of rightstepping sinistral strike-slip fault segments (e.g. Sin El kiddab fault)
