Abstract The present study aims at assessing natural and anthropogenic impacts on El-Alamein area, Matrouh governorate of Egypt using integrated approach of remote sensing and spatial analyses. Landsat TM 2000, ETM+ 2010, and OLI 2020 satellite sensors were processed to assess the spatiotemporal changes in shoreline and land use / cover (LULC). Further, a total number of 25 sites were surveyed and sampled for water and bottom sediments for lab analyses to assess quality characteristics, heavy metals content and associated variables including contamination and ecological risk indices. Inverse distance weighting (IDW) was used to map water, sediment properties and all contamination indices. Some statistical calculations were performed to assess the depositional environments. All image processing and spatial analyses were performed using ENVI 5.3 and ArcGIS 10.5 software. |
