abstract flood is among phenomena which result considerable damages to resources and is a serious issue among hydrologists. the proper estimation of runoff is necessary for designating appropriate approaches for its control or optimal management. various problems have been reported in application of empirical models. the regional analysis of runoff with different return periods by applying wate...

Abstract The Turkish-Iranian Plateau and the Zagros highlands are among most prominent physiographic features in Middle East were formed as a result of continental collision between Arabian Eurasian plates. To better understand nature lithospheric mantle origin observed seismic anomalies this region, we investigated attenuation uppermost by detailed measurements quality factor Sn phase (Sn Q). ...

Two factors that can lead to geographic structuring in conspecific populations are barriers to dispersal and climatic stability. Populations that occur in different physiographic regions may be restricted to those areas by physical and/or ecological barriers, which may facilitate the formation of phylogeographic clades. Long-term climatic stability can also promote genetic diversification, beca...
