A quantitative analysis of transverse river profiles and its applications for morphotectonics: A case studying Shatt Al-Arab River, Southern Iraq

Abstract: The present study discussed the quantitative analysis of Transverse River Profile (TRP) on Shatt Al-Arab channel, by deriving several TRP parameters that can be easily quantifiable and comparable. These parameters are useful to detect the morphotectonic indicators of Shatt Al-Arab basin. Five cross sectional profiles were considered from the previous bathymetrical surveys of Shatt Al-Arab channel starting from Qurna (upstream) at the confluence of Tigris and Euphrates rivers towards Fao (downstream). The resul… Show more

“…The Shatt Al-Arab River has a variety of basin patterns, including straight, meandering, and braided. Meandering and braided patterns specifically appear at the southern part (Al-Mayahi, 2011). The objectives of this study were to investigate patterns of reflection associated with buried objects beneath and within the river's bottom, and to determine the acoustic signature of the strata in the sub-bottom with focus on the stratum offering support to foundations of buildings, especially heavy constructions.…”
