چکیده

palynological analyses from exposed palaeolacustrine deposits located at the flanks of damavand volcano, in the central alborzmountains in northern iran, provide a broad idea of the temporal variation of vegetation according to climate changes during a rangeof limited time intervals during the quaternary period. this research reveals that the regional vegetation of the study area had been asemi-arid mountain steppe since the early quaternary. however, moderate expansions of open woodlands and aquatic/marshy taxaindicate less arid climatic conditions. some of these comparatively less arid phases during the last 70 ka are contemporaneous with theclimatic amelioration phases during previous glacial periods in the himalayan region. although the results are scattered through time,they clearly show the potential of the study area for further palynological investigations with the aim of understanding the regionalvegetation response on global climate changes in northern iran

High Potash Volcanic Rocks and Pyroclastic Deposits of Damavand Volcano, Iran, an Example of Intraplate Volcanism

Damavand is a fascinating dormant stratovolcano, 60 km to the ENE of Tehran located in the Alborz Mountains. Damavand volcanic products consist of lava flows and pyroclastic fall, flow and surge deposits from different eruption cycles. The volcanic rocks ranges from trachyandesite to trachyadacite and minor basalt. The mineral assemblage consists of potash feldspar (Or43/7), Plagioclase (An25 t...

Quaternary lacustrine deposits in a high-energy semi-arid mountain environment, Karakoram Mountains, northern Pakistan

impressive Quaternary lacustrine deposits are present as terrace remnants throughout the Karakoram Mountains, northern Pakistan. They are mainly the result of damming of drainage systems during glacial advances or by catastrophic mass movement deposits. The longevity of most lakes is relatively short, in the order of years to tens of yeaa, but sedimentation rates are extremely high as a consequ...

Geochemistry of Talkh-rud Sub-volcanic Intrusion, Damavand Volcano

The study subvolcanic intrusion, comprising syenodiorite, monzonite and quartz-monzonite, is cropped out in Talkh-rud valley located in the northeast of Damavand volcano flank. This sub-volcanic intrusion possesses porphyritic texture and consists of plagioclase, alkali feldspars, phelogopite, amphibole, clinopyroxene, apatite and titanomagnetite. Evidences of disequilibrium such as zoning and ...

Origin of the absarokite–banakite association of the Damavand volcano (Iran): trace elements and Sr, Nd, Pb isotope constraints

The activity of the Damavand volcano (Central Alborz, northern Iran) began 1.8 Ma ago and continued up to 7 ka BP. Although the volcanic suite is clearly of shoshonitic affinity, only two petrographic types can be distinguished in the studied lavas: (1) weakly differentiated absarokites (49 < %SiO2 < 51), scattered around the volcano but with a regional extension, (2) highly differentiated bana...
