Abstract

A large percentage of the coasts around the world suffer from coastal erosion. In order to determine the erosion of the Iraqi coast, Brunn’s theory was tested, which is a mathematical model that aims to measure the rates of coastal erosion, that depending on a group of factors affecting the coast, such as geology, climate, and soil. The result was that (85)% of the Iraqi coast remained stable, (10)% was a ccumulated towardes the sea, and (5)% was eroded towards the land during the past five centures ago, so the amount of ere sion will be (15)%,
