    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY UNDERSTANDING THE SPREAD OF ISIS IN IRAQ WILLIAM D. COUGHLIN SPRING 2016 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in Geography and International Politics with honors in Geography Reviewed and approved* by the following: Rodger Downs Professor of Geography Honors Advisor and Thesis Supervisor Donna Peuquet Professor of Geography Faculty Reader * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) first took control of territory in Iraq in 2013 and the group has continued to expand its control and influence despite international intervention. The rise of ISIS was unexpected and unprecedented, and there continues to be a lack of understanding of how ISIS was able to gain a large amount of territory in such a short amount of time. This paper aims to establish what the core factors are that allowed ISIS to form, spread and govern territory in Iraq. The ESRI exploratory regression tool was used to create a multivariate regression model and to analyze twelve factors that may play significant roles in the spread of ISIS. The factors that were considered are ethnicity (Sunni, Shia, Kurdish and mixed), water resources, civilian deaths, suicide bombing deaths, distance from Syria, population, location of Iraqi military brigades, and major cities. The final multivariate regression model had Kurdish majority, water resources, civilian deaths, distance from Syria and Iraqi military brigades as significant factors. These five exploratory variables has an R2 of .77, explaining 77% of towns controlled by ISIS.

  • Badush Dam: Controversy and Future Possibilities
    Journal of Earth Sciences and Geotechnical Engineering, vol . 8, no. 2, 2018, 17-33 ISSN: 1792-9040 (print version), 1792-9660 (online) Scienpress Ltd, 2018 Badush Dam: Controversy and Future Possibilities Nasrat Adamo1, Varoujan K. Sissakian2, Nadhir Al-Ansari1, Sven Knutsson1and Jan Laue1 Abstract Badush Dam is believed to be the first dam in the world which is designed to protect from the flood wave which could result from the collapse of another dam; in this case Mosul Dam. Badush Dam construction was started in 1988 but it was stopped two years later due to unexpected reasons. From that time on many attempts were made to resume construction without success. Its value was stressed in a multitude of studies and technical reports amid conflict of opinions on how to do this. The original design of the dam as a protection dam was intended to have a large part of the reservoir empty to accommodate the volume of the expected flood wave for only a few months during which time it’s content are released in a controlled and safe way to the downstream. The lower part of Badush Dam which has a limited height continues before and after this event to act as a low head power generation facility. Among the later studies on the dam, there were suggestions to introduce changes to the design of the unfinished dam which covered the foundation treatment and also asked for constructing a diaphragm in the dam. A long controversy is still going on with many possibilities but with no hope to reach a final solution soon.
