This study conducts a statistical analysis of global natural hydrogen occurrences revealing critical patterns and proposing future exploration strategies. By updating previous databases (including gt;10% hydrogen occurrences), we compiled 411 data po...

Preliminary Remote Spatial Analysis of Fairy Circles: an Approximation of Hypersectral and Geophysical Data from Hydrogen Seeps (2024)
Journal Article
Mosquera-Rivera, J. E., Jiménez-Vergara, J. M., Alberto, C., Ball, P., & Morales, H. (2024). Preliminary Remote Spatial Analysis of Fairy Circles: an Approximation of Hypersectral and Geophysical Data from Hydrogen Seeps. First Break, 42(6), 65-78. https://doi.org/10.3997/1365-2397.fb2024047

We present a remote sensing analysis to identify potential concentrations of natural hydrogen by observing fairy circles. Utilising Principal Component Analysis (PCA), distinct features of these formations were delineated, indicating their differenti...

Imaging Pleistocene volcanic edifices along the Egyptian Red Sea margin: Insights from reflection seismics and 3D constrained inversion of gravity and magnetic data (2024)
Journal Article
Ali, M., Decarlis, A., Geng, M., Bosworth, W., Ball, P. J., Ligi, M., & Ceriani, A. (2024). Imaging Pleistocene volcanic edifices along the Egyptian Red Sea margin: Insights from reflection seismics and 3D constrained inversion of gravity and magnetic data. Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 448, Article 108038. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2024.108038

Several volcanic buildups have been documented using gravity and magnetic data at specific locations in the Northern Red Sea (NRS). Most of these volcanoes were never sampled, and only a few were imaged by seismic or bathymetry data. Furthermore, the...

Geometry and kinematics of the Middle to Late Miocene salt tectonics, central Egyptian Red Sea margin (2023)
Journal Article
Ali, M., Koyi, H., Bosworth, W., Ligi, M., Ball, P. J., & Decarlis, A. (2023). Geometry and kinematics of the Middle to Late Miocene salt tectonics, central Egyptian Red Sea margin. Journal of Structural Geology, 175, Article 104955

The Red Sea basin includes a thick Middle to Late Miocene evaporitic succession that underwent halokinesis and caused intensive reshaping of the seafloor and the development of salt-tectonic structures. However, the geometry and kinematics of these s... Read More about Geometry and kinematics of the Middle to Late Miocene salt tectonics, central Egyptian Red Sea margin.

Red Sea rifting in central Egypt: constraints from the offshore Quseir province (2022)
Journal Article
Ali, M., Decarlis, A., Ligi, M., Ball, P., Bosworth, W., & Ceriani, A. (2022). Red Sea rifting in central Egypt: constraints from the offshore Quseir province. Journal of the Geological Society, 180(2), Article jgs2022-105. https://doi.org/10.1144/jgs2022-105

The formation of oceanic crust in the southern and central Red Sea is generally accepted to have started at c. 5 Ma. However, the nature of the crust in the northern Red Sea is still debated. This paper describes the rift architecture, dynamics and e... Read More about Red Sea rifting in central Egypt: constraints from the offshore Quseir province.
