The field hydrology model DRAINMOD was modified to include freezing and thawing, and snowmelt components. Based on daily hydrological predictions of the original model, the modified DRAINMOD numerically solves the heat flow equation to predict soil temperature. When freezing con…

Field and remote sensing observations demonstrate that depressions of the Western Desert of Egypt (specifically, Kharga, Farafra, and Kurkur regions) are mainly occupied by shales that are impermeable, but easily erodible by rainfall and runoff, whereas the surrounding plateaus …
