The Remote Sensing Center at the University of Mosul participated in the defense committee of a master’s thesis at the College of Environmental Sciences on Monday, March 9, 2026. The thesis was presented by the student Hanan Abdulrahman Khalaf Obaid and was entitled:

“Study of Water Quality and Application of a Model for Monitoring Variability in the Characteristics of Mosul Dam Lake Water Using Remote Sensing.”

The Center’s participation came through Assistant Professor Dr. Mohammed Fawzi Omar, who served as the thesis supervisor, and Assistant Professor Dr. Alaa Nabil Hamdoun, who served as a member and chairman of the examination committee.

The study aimed to evaluate the water quality of Mosul Dam Lake by analyzing key physical, chemical, and biological parameters, including pH, turbidity, chlorophyll, major ions, and selected heavy metals. The research relied on field measurements and laboratory analyses of water samples collected from several sites and depths during two different seasons.

The thesis also employed remote sensing techniques and satellite imagery to derive water quality indicators and produce spatial distribution maps of these characteristics.

The defense was conducted in a constructive academic atmosphere marked by scientific discussion and exchange of ideas, contributing to the advancement of environmental research.
