Seismotectonic, paleotsunami deposits and tsunami scenarios are investigated along the north coast of Egypt in the framework of the tsunami ASTARTE European and the French-Egyptian IMHOTEP projects. The geology, geomorphology, seismicity, focal mechanisms, calculated stress inversion, and GPS data were used to identify the present day stress regime of the main active zones and the tsunamigenic zones. Trenches and cores were dug in Kefr Saber and EL Alamein sites. X-ray scanning, magnetic susceptibility, grain size analysis, sampling, macrofossil detections, XRD analysis, total organic and inorganic matter measurements and carbon dating are carried out to identify the paleotsunami signatures. The high-energy white sandy layer rich in reworke...
