Under the patronage of the President of the University of Mosul, Professor Dr. Waheed Mahmoud Al-Ibrahimi<\/strong>, and under the supervision of the Dean of the College of Science, Professor Dr. Hiyam Adel Ibrahim<\/strong>, with the follow-up of the Head of the Department of Geology and Petroleum Science, Assistant Professor Dr. Omar Khallouk Mohammed Sajid<\/strong>, the Department of Geology and Petroleum Science organized a scientific workshop entitled:<\/p>\n

\u201cIraq\u2019s Position in Regional Seismic Hazard Activity\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The workshop was held from 9\u201311 February 2026<\/strong> as part of the activities of the Global Entrepreneurship Week 2026<\/strong>, with the attendance of a number of university academics and individuals interested in geosciences and seismic studies.<\/p>\n

The workshop addressed the tectonic plates that form the Earth\u2019s crust and the geological movements resulting from their dynamics, with particular emphasis on the Arabian Plate<\/strong>, its tectonic boundaries, and its interaction with the Eurasian Plate<\/strong>. Discussions highlighted earthquakes generated by continental collision processes between these plates and their regional implications.<\/p>\n

In addition, the workshop explored the different types of seismic waves, their magnitude and intensity, and their potential impact on infrastructure and living communities. Special attention was given to Iraq\u2019s vulnerability to seismic events occurring in neighboring countries, particularly Turkey and Iran, as well as strategies for mitigating the effects of seismic wave propagation and associated hazards.<\/p>\n
