  The study area is located in the north-western flanks of the Red Sea hills in the Hamissana area, NE Sudan. The area is representing a basement terrain as a part of the Arabian-Nubian shield during the Pan African Oregon. Geologically and structurally the terrain is complicated and undergone multi deformational phases. The main objective of the current study is to investigate the capability of enhanced satellite gravity data for to support the accuracy of geological mapping. The method of the study is based on the integration of remote sensing techniques, geological field survey with the processed satellite gravity data to strength the surface and subsurface geological mapping as guide for mineral exploration, hence the area is considered as important zone for mineral resources. The remote sensing investigations are based on the digitally processed Landsat +7 ETM .. View More»
