The persistent debate over the timing of initial Arabia–Eurasia collision has eluded consensus for decades, with most estimates ranging widely from ~50 to 10 Ma along both Anatolian and Zagros segments orogen. Here, we independently evaluate location using a quantitative plate tectonic reconstruction that is first include entire Arabian microcontinent regions north in eastern Anatolia, northwes...

Knowledge on habitat suitability of ecologically important species is central for their conservation management. The occurrence records brown bear (Ursus arctos) in Kurdestan Province Iran and environmental data were compiled to predict the ecological niche this using Maxent distribution algorithm. Satellite imagery Landsat 5 8 1990 2017 was also employed investigate human-induced land degradat...

Tectonic processes are major factors controlling landform development in tectonically active areas. In order to evaluate quantitative measurement of tectonic activities in the Alamarvdasht basin in the south of Iran, six different morphological indices including stream-gradient index (SL), drainage basin asymmetry (Af), hypsometric integral (Hi), valley floor width-valley height ratio (Vf), dra...

The Hurrians are considered to be one of the indigenous peoples ancient Kurdistan and Zagros region. They covered a wide range from Mountains northern Mesopotamia Near Eastern. had civilizations kingdoms their own. Due vastness region several political economic aspects national Hurrian, were part these areas, that have been attacked occupied by other nations region, especially Sumerian, Akkadia...

magnetic susceptibility has been extensively used to determine the magnetic properties of rocks for different applications, such as hydrocarbon or mineral explorations. this magnetic quantity can be directly measured in an accurate but time-consuming operation, or it can be mathematically approximated using a reliable procedure to achieve a desired accuracy. the poisson theory is one of the mos...

We sequenced Early Neolithic genomes from the Zagros region of Iran (eastern Fertile Crescent), where some of the earliest evidence for farming is found, and identify a previously uncharacterized population that is neither ancestral to the first European farmers nor has contributed substantially to the ancestry of modern Europeans. These people are estimated to have separated from Early Neolith...

Abstract The Zagros Mountains represent a strategic geographic region near the junction of Africa, Europe, and Asia, valleys within mountain range likely correspond to migration corridors used by archaic modern humans. Ghar-e Boof, key archeological site in southern Zagros, is located at an altitude 905 m.a.s.l. Dasht-e Rostam Fars Province, Iran. On basis lithic artifacts radiocarbon luminesce...
