The Department of Sediments and Marine Basins received the returning professors from outside Iraq

The Department of Marine Sediments and Beds at the Marine Sciences Center at the University of Basra received the returning lecturers from Australia and America after receiving a doctorate from the country of scholarship
Both Dr. Qassem Mazal Aflih Al-Issawi after receiving his PhD from Australia
University of Wollongong/ Department of Earth Science/ Hydrology for his thesis
Persian Gulf Oceanographic Characteristics of Alluvial Estuaries, North-West Arabian/
oceanographic characteristics of alluvial estuaries,
Northwest Arabian Gulf
and Dr. Muhammad Mahdi
Muhammad Yahya al-Musawi after receiving his doctorate from
Australia University of Wollongong/ Chemistry/ Analytical Chemistry and Polymers
For his thesis 3D Printed Living Electrodes, the study summarizes the use of 3D live electrode systems manufactured from green algae as good alternatives to the traditional inorganic electrodes (gold and platinum). These organic electrodes are characterized by low cost and good electrical conductivity, in addition to their use in the medical, environmental and industrial fields, especially in the exploration and measurement of heavy and toxic elements in water.
And Dr. Daoud Salman Bnai Al-Mayahi after receiving his doctorate from the United States of America
University of Oklahoma / Geology / Marine seismic geology
Evaluation of Co2 storage potential in offshore strata, Mid-South Atlantic: Southeast offshore storage resource assessment
Assessment of potential Co2 reservoirs in the deep sea layers of the Central and South Atlantic: Assessment of marine storage sources in the Southeast
The study concluded with the possibility of storing Co2 in deep geological layers permanently and safely and classifying the petrophysical properties of rocks by machine learning methods. This classification is used to evaluate the efficiency of deep geological reservoirs for storing Co2.
