background: this study aimed to evaluate the pollution levels of surface water with heavy metals including pb, cd and cr in gheshlagh river, western iran. methods: water and sediment were sampled in five monitoring stations with three replicates in time along the river. the concentration of cr, pb and cd in both water and sediment samples were measured with graphite furnace atomic absorption sp...

The gravity and magnetic data measured on the Earth’s surface or above it (collected from an aircraft flying at low altitude) can be used to assist in geologic mapping by estimating the spatial density and magnetization distributions, respectively, presumably confined to the interior of a horizontal slab with known depths to the top and bottom. To estimate density or magnetization distributions...

This paper reports regional drainage patterns observed during the development of surface drainage maps from aerial photographs of sev­ eral counties in Indiana. This drainage mapping is a part of the current highway research program at Purdue University. The airphotos used in this work were taken during 1937-1943 in connection with the United States Department of Agriculture map program. The pr...

study area is located in west of iran with relatively rough topography. lithologic units in the region belong from jurassic and cretaccous till recent era. the study area of the alvand mountain region is related to the tectonic zone of the sanandaj-sirjan region and the area dominant neo-tectonic regime appears to be compressional-extensional type. one of the identification tools to find out th...

Aeolian process and subsequently soil erosion are key factors in dryland environments. Such phenomena are related not only to geoecological factors (lithology, topography, and climatology) but also to land-use and plant cover changes. Formation of new sand dunes in Damghan explains the development of human activities over the past. The aim of this study is to explain the land use changes and th...

The study presents geologic investigation of Yemen and the Gulf Aden with a special focus on geophysical, seismic, tectonic topographic mapping performed by integrated approach QGIS GMT scripting. Cartographic visualization is crucial in analysis, data processing prognosis mineral resource prospects. region was formed as result Arabian African plates movements still tectonically active. Besides...
