عنوان المقالة:The Impact of the Ancient Climate on the Course of the Euphrates and Its Geomorphological Phenomena between the Cities of Al Khidr and Basra - A Study in Historical Geography
Historical geomorphometric studies are one of the modern trends in
historical geography and in the historical study of rivers and their basins,
whether small or large. The riverbed and basin are commonly the basic
unit for geomorphometric research. These studies also contribute to
clarify and define the environmental characteristics of rivers and how
they were formed and the factors that helped this process.
River valleys are one of the largest fields associated with human stability
and activity, Such studies are needed as the river environment controls
the work of current activities. The study focused on the historical aspects
of the ancient climate, which determined the course of the Euphrates
River and its geomorphological phenomena between the jurisdictions of
Al Khidr and Basra. See map (1). The phenomena are prominent and
extensive within and outside the course of the river, are in continuous
change and have a substantial effect on human activity in the region. The
search focuses on this topic, as it also seeks to benefit from detailed maps
and remote sensing systems in describing and analysing several old
phenomena and drawing maps showing the morphometric characteristics
of the river.
