Professor Dr. Abbas Rashid Ali, Head of the Geography Department at the College of Education for the Human Sciences at the University of Kirkuk, published joint scientific research with the lecturer in the Geography Department, M.D. Safaa Adnan Jassim entitled:
(Some Geomorphological Implications of Chemical Weathering in Sequences of Sedimentary Rocks in the Kirkuk Structure) in the Iraqi Geological Journal, which is one of the solid scientific journals within the global Scopus database. The research concluded by identifying the important role played by the type of rocks and their chemical composition in highlighting the role of various geomorphological processes in determining the nature of land units and the formation of geomorphological features, as well as the effect of various geological processes and the presence of structural units such as joints, fractures and fractures, as well as the effect of slope and various climatic factors on the course of geological processes. And the different geomorphology within the study area.
