This study provides a multi-disciplinary overview of the seismology and geodetic data with tectonics analysis in order to provide an evaluation stress trajectories, probabilistic fault rupture hazard assessment. Based on different scenarios obtained from comparison several overviews their interpretation, we investigated kinematics active structural zones. In this study, magnitudes directions se...

a stratigraphic section from the tirgan formation was selected in arkan village nearby bojnourd city in order to study echinoderm fauna systematically. many specimens of echinoderms, especially toxasteridae which is associated with brachiopods were collected and studied systematically in this paper. microscopie slides were also prepared and studied. all slides contain benthic foraminifers and c...

middle jurassic fluvio-deltaic and turbiditic mudstones of the kashafrud formation, are important hydrocarbon sources in the gas-rich kopet-dagh basin, northeast iran. clay mineral assemblages are important for interpretation of sediment provenance and for understanding burial diagenetic cementation in sandstones. the clay mineral assemblages in mudrocks in two areas, saleh-abad and senjedak, w...

This study presents the nannostratigraphy and nannofossil events in the lower boundary of Kalat Formation in the East and West of the Kopeh- Dagh basin. The Kalat Formation comprises of coarse grained detritus limestone with subordinate sandstone intercalations. In the current study, six sections have been chosen in the East and West of the basin which are as follow: Dobaradar section, Kalat se...

During the recent field research on the Tirgan Formation in the west of Kopet-Dagh sedimentary basin, ammonite assemblages were obtained from the carbonate strata of this formation. This new finding is important for stratigraphical purpose. In this research, 3 genera belong to Heteroceras, Deshayesites and Cheloniceras? as well as one uncertain genus belongs to Turkmeniceras are determined. The...

benthic foraminiferal assemblages from maastrichtian strata, gansserina gansseri-abathamphalus mayaroensis planktonic foraminiferal zone, of the abtalkh formation at aitamir section (west of the kopeh-dagh basin) were investigated in order to evaluate the palaeoenvironmental changes (organic matter flux and bottom-water oxygenation). maastrichtian faunal assemblages are well preserved and diver...

the objective of this study was to assess the relationship betweenvegetation, landform and physicochemical properties of soil. at the first terrainmap unit were provided using the landsat thematic mapper (tm) satellite images,aerial photograph, topographical and geology map. field sampling was done in therepresentative area using plot sampling. 104 plots 100 m2 were sampled in eachplot landform...

in central part of kopeh dagh there is an array of active right-lateral strike-slip faults that obliquely cut the range and produce offsets of several kilometers in the geomorphology and geological structure. geomorphic indices indicate the presence of differential uplifting in history of this area. tectonic activity of the study area is investigated by a large number of dem derived catchments ...
