A scientific study was conducted at the University of Basra by each of the female teachers, M. Howrah Douay gdaoud, A.M. Dr. Hanan Abdulkader Darwish, and M.M. Zahra Hussein Ali at the Faculty of science at the University of Basra and the title of a scientific study at the University of Basra looking at the integration of morphometric data with remote sensing data for the analysis of neotectonics in the Mesopotamian Basin, Iraq 

The study, published in the journal Physics and Chemistry of the Earth, classified among the scopes Q1 and sitescore 6.0 reservoirs, showed that the Mesopotamian Basin in Iraq represents an area affected by significant recent tectonic activity, and this is shown by distinctive terrain features.

The aim of this study is to evaluate morphotectonic activity in the area of the interfluve basin by analyzing alluvial fans formed on the northeastern and southwestern edges. Tectonic activity can influence the evolution of the Earth's surface shapes, which is crucial for mineral exploration and resource assessment.
