The average annual precipitation over the country is around 250 mm. Two mountain ridges, the Alborz and Zagros (Figure 1),...

This paper introduces a study of morphotectonic structure in the Central Alborz Basin, Mazandaran province of Iran (about 1200 square kilometer), using Russian KFA-1000 satellite photography and sequential air photographs. The KFA-1000 metric camera has better ground resolution than SPOT and LANDSAT for the whole of the study area. Results are provided from one pair of 30×30 cm. photos, which p...

This research work introduces the Early Triassic, Late Triassic-Early Jurassic, and Early Cretaceous silica-rich sand levels at east and central Alborz, Kopeh-Dagh, and Central Iran, and compares them with the Permian silica-rich sand level in the Chirouk mine at east Iran. Ghoznavi and Gheshlaq loose sand in Alborz (Early Triassic-Early Jurassic), Soh quartzite in Central Iran (Early Triassic...

Carboniferous strata in the Alborz mountains consist of calcareous rich fossils the main part of which is composed of rugose corals. There have been few studies carried out on corals so far. In this paper, a new subfamily, genus and eight new species of rugose corals from Mobarak limestones in the central Alborz mountains are introduced
