An address from the Editor-in-Chief

Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the Editorial Board, I am pleased to introduce the Iraqi Bulletin of Geology and Mining (IBGM). The IBGM is devoted to all aspects of research related to geosciences. The Journal publishes peer-reviewed scientific papers on different fields of geology, such as stratigraphy, paleontology, sedimentology, structure and tectonics, geomorphology, geophysics, hydrogeology, petrology and mineralogy, geochemistry, engineering geology, geological hazards, environmental geology, mineral resources, mineral processing, and mining geology. It is widely understood that the need of the research geologists in Iraq and the neighboring countries for high-standard publishing platform is paramount. As such, the Bulletin, since its foundation in 2005, has made its main objective to encourage research and publications on geology-related sciences in such a way as to improve and develop the local and regional geological knowledge. It is hoped that, with our pens and minds, we can contribute to the welfare of our tomorrow.
