Hazard mapping in poorly known volcanic areas is complex since much evidence of volcanic and non-volcanic hazards is often hidden by vegetation and alteration. In this paper, we propose a semi-quantitative method based on hazard event tree and multi-hazard map constructions developed in the frame of the FP7 MIAVITA project. We applied this method to the Kanlaon volcano (Philippines), which is c...

condition of contour lines in topographic maps, explains more geomorphologic issues such as effective processes in the land forms found in nature. change in the curvature of the transverse profile of a valley in mountainous areas, the peak of the mountain range, also reflect the geomorphologic features and expresses the tectonic events and climate changes occurring in the region. these changes ...

in order to study adapatability and yield stability of irrigated bread wheat cultivars alvand, alamout, zarrin, navid, azar 2, sabalan, omid and bezostiya this experiment was conducted in rcbd during three cropping seasons (2007-2010) in six cities. simple anova and combined analysis of variance for three years in every location and also combined analysis of variance for three years and six loc...

the short arm of rye 1r chromosome (1rs) carries genes for resistance to diseases and pests. the presence of the 1rs arm also enhance adaptation, stress tolerance and yield potential of bread wheat. in the present study 17 bread wheat cultivars were screened to identify 1bl.1rs translocation (t1bl.1rs) by isoelectric focusing, c-banding and fluorescence in situ hybridization (fish) methods. iso...

The present study was carried out to assess and document ethnobotanical knowledge of the plants of Sabalan district in Ardabil Province, as the area has diverse flora and high ethnobotanical potential. Medicinal plants of Sabalan were studied through collections of plant specimens and by interviewing local informants from several villages. For Each plant species the scientific and vernacular na...

Many volcanoes exhibit evidence of long-term deformation driven by gravity. This influences the development magmatic plumbing systems and volcanic vent locations, it manifests as earthquakes ground surface motions. Two end-member styles are volcano sagging (flexure) spreading. Previous modeling studies indicated that mechanical geometric properties basement rocks below can control whether a spr...

Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) has provided a new imaging geodesy technique to measure the deformation of volcanoes at tens-of-meter horizontal resolution with centimeter to subcentimeter vertical precision. The two-dimensional surface deformation data enables the construction of detailed numerical models allowing the study of magmatic and tectonic processes beneath volcanoes....

Impact of Siboglinids on mud volcano biogeochemistry K. Soetaert et al.

Observations of the gravity field of Mars reveal a planet that has responded differently in its northern and southern hemispheres to major impacts and volcanic processes. The rough, elevated southern hemisphere has a relatively featureless gravitational signature indicating a state of near-isostatic compensation, whereas the smooth, low northern plains display a wider range of gravitational ano...

Here we report the 4.75-Mb genome of Cesiribacter andamanensis strain AMV16(T), isolated from a soil sample from a mud volcano in the Andaman Islands, India.
