the purpose of this article was to plan development al strategies for sabzevar based on the sustainable development theory. the method of research has been descriptive and most of the data used in the study were secondary (documentations) which were then analyzed using delphi and swot models with a strategic approach. documentation and qualitative research methods such as deep interview and ind...

nain ophiolite melange is located 140 km east of isfahan. based on the geological studies, this area belongs to mesozoic ophiolite of urumieh – dokhtar zone, west of central iran. country rocks are pridotite and serpentinized pridotite. the pridotite rocks are composed of harzburgite, lherzolite and replacement dunite which is belong to spinel pridotite facies.paragenesis of ore minerals are ch...

The Upper Jurassic Galice Formation and parts of its 164 to 162 Ma Josephine ophiolite basement, both of the western Klamath terrane (WKT) have been suggested to constitute lower grade equivalents of the Condrey Mountain Schist (CMS) . The high P/T CMS is exposed through a window within the Rattlesnake Creek terrane (RCT) which has been thrust westward over the WKT. The Ga lice-CMS correlation ...

The Meatiq basement, which is exposed beneath late Proterozoic nappes of supracrustal rocks in the Central Eastern Desert of Egypt, was affected by three metamorphic events. The ophiolite cover nappes show only the last metamorphic overprint. The M1 metamorphic event (T≥750 °C) is restricted to migmatized amphibolite xenoliths within the Um Ba∞anib orthogneiss in the structurally lowest parts o...

Sheeted dike complexes, in which dike intrudes dike without intermediate screens of gabbro or pillow lava, have long been considered key features of oceanic lithosphere and ophiolites formed in extensional environments. The presence of a sheeted complex implies an approximate balance between spreading rate and magma supply, such that there is just enough melt to fill newly formed fractures prod...

In hyperalkaline () fluids that have participated in low-temperature (<150) serpentinization reactions, the dominant form of C is often methane (), but origin this uncertain. To assess serpentinite aquifers within Samail Ophiolite, Oman, we determined fluid chemical compositions, analyzed taxonomic profiles fluid-hosted microbial communities, and measured isotopic compositions hydrocarbon gases...

Endemic PCs and high incidence of malignant mesothelioma from household use of asbestos have been reported in Metsovo in northwestern Greece ("Metsovo lung"). In the present study, we present similar findings in six more areas of Greece. Like Metsovo, all these areas are located within ophiolite belts. Like Metsovo, material similar to "Metsovo whitewash" has been used for various domestic uses...
