functions and operations were applied to the data
base. the CIS model could provide a good base of
informed decision making in support of further
development of New Minia City.
“From a geologic point of view, the bedrock is
further w eakened by the presence of a large num
ber of faults, joints, and fractures,” Aly said. “As
the city is still in an early stage of development, it
is vital to reassess the situation in a GIS environ
ment.”
Most of the newly developed cities are built
upon unstable foundations, Aly said. The situation
can be reassessed in a GIS model to predict future
problems and create trends of more sustainable
development.
“Our model can be used not only for New
Minia City, but also for any city with similar geo
logic and geomorphologic settlings across the
world ” he said.
Andrew Klein, professor of remote sensing
and GIS in the Department of Geography, said
Aly’s work underscores the difficulties in apply
ing new technologies such as GIS to aid in deci
sion-making in developing areas around the
world. He also said that much of the information
that is available in the United States, such as
maps of topography and geology, Eire not avail
able in other parts of the w orld, w hich limits the
complexity of the models that can be developed
to aid in the planning process.
“Aly’s research illustrates very well how devel
oping countries can use new' technologies to
improve the planning decision process,” Klein
said.
Klein said the work Aly completed is a helpful
first step to better utilizing environmental infor
mation in the planning processes.
Now that the research about the foundation
flaws of Egypt's developing cities is complete,
Aly is preparing a new proposal to study surface
deformations of the Nile River Delta, which is
one of his home country's greEitest problems. He
will be using radar interferometry and GIS tech
niques to conduct this research.

tion for a dog.
Reveille then jumped off the
steps of the Y.M.C.A. Building,
mildly injuring herself.
Van Alstyne said a football
game can be stressful on the dog
and instead of attending yell
practice, she should have rested.
“I saw her yesterday and
could tell she was sore, she usu
ally is fidgety but she just let me
pet her all I wanted,” Van
Alstyne said.
Reveille is staying in the
dorm this week instead of
accompanying Caddick to class,
awaiting a trip to the veterinari
an prior to the football game
against Missouri to find out if
she'll be well enough to attend.
Van Alstyne said.
Over the summer break,
Caddick said he did not expect
what he was in for when he took
the responsibility of caring for
Reveille.
“I would get up at six in the
morning and take her to the
bathroom and then get back in
bed and try to sleep until noon,”
Criddick said “She would run
between me and my parents try
ing to wake us up and she
wouldn't rest until someone got
up.”

classes. Reveille barked enough
to dismiss a class, Caddick said.

“The U.S. and Mexico have a number of agree

tion. It’s only logical to study health implications
as well,” Smith said.
The project is set to start once a steering com

“If I want to take her off cam

Caddick said. “She goes every

get my dry cleaning she comes
with me. Everything is pretty
much the same except the
restaurant thing.”
