University of Basra PhD thesis investigates surface and subsurface structures using gravity, seismic and remote sensing techniques
A doctoral thesis at the University of Basra's Faculty of Science investigated the identification of surface and subsurface structures using gravity, seismic and remote sensing techniques along the fold axes in Mansuriyah, Khashm al-Ahmar and Injana in northeastern Iraq.
The thesis, submitted by student Fadel Abdul Abbas Obaid, aimed to analyze and interpret the geological structure in the mentioned areas by integrating geophysical data with structural analyses and space data, which contributed to clarifying the nature of active structural deformations, and identifying subsurface faults and folds.
The study recommended that this integrated method should be generalized to other areas in Iraq, especially tectonically active areas, to support geological risk assessment and exploration of natural resources of economic importance.
