human operations occur frequently around the Nile Valley. Moreover, where these features were initially
created, their relevance focuses on how the urban communities responded to the processes. So, a ground
penetrating radar (GPR) field survey was carried out on different paleoenvironments of Pre-Quaternary and
Quaternary sediment around Assiut. Deep and critical analyses of georadar facies were made to obtain clear
images of these features with unprecedented resolution. The main objective of this study is to find some
reasonable geological interpretations for these features. From this study, it is possible to identify and differentiate
these features originating from different geological environments and climatological conditions in arid regions
such as those around Assiut. In addition, the study serves as guidelines for environmental management and
climatic changes for enhancing knowledge of urban development. Also, the study demonstrates how georadar
can be used to create precise images of intricate shallow subsurface anatomy with possible palaeoenvironmental
and palaeoclimatic indicators
