Abstract The present paper discusses the geochemical affinities, origin and ages of Jurassic granitoids Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone (SaSZ) in eastern part Zagros Thrust Zone. A multidisciplinary, integrated approach was carried out using existing granitoid data (major, trace, rare earth element isotopes) knowledge regional geology (geodynamic metamorphic setting), coupled with geophysical (magnetic su...

The present study focused on redescription of Gammarus pseudosyriacus (Karaman & Pinkster, 1977) based on new materials from Zagros Mountains and describes a new subspecies of freshwater amphipod, Gammarus pseudosyriacus issatisi subsp. n., from the southern Zagros Mountains. The work is based on morphological and morphometric comparisons. This new subspecies has features similar to Gammarus ps...

The Paleozoic sediments of the Chal-i-Sheh area in southwestern Iran comprising of Mila Formation, Ilebek Formation and Faraghan Formation, were studied palynologically. The samples containing well-preserved palynomorphs include acritarchs, chitinozoans, scolecodonts and pollenlspores. A palynological zonation has been established and comparison was made with other parts of the world. Based...

[1] The Zagros mountains of southern Iran are marked by a zone of high seismicity and accommodate a significant portion of the convergence between Arabia and Eurasia. Due to the lack of dense local seismic or geodetic networks, the inferred kinematics of the collision in Iran is mainly based on catalogs of teleseismically determined earthquake locations. We surveyed all Mw > 4.5 earthquakes in ...

The Euphrates Plain (EP) experiences large interannual variability in vegetation cover, especially in areas of marginal rain-fed agriculture. Vegetation in this region is primarily limited by available soil moisture, as determined by winter precipitation, spring precipitation, and air temperature. Satellite analyses indicate that the springtime normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is n...

The aim of this work is to propose a first-order estimate of the crustal and lithospheric mantle geometry of the Arabia–Eurasia collision zone and to separate the measured Bouguer anomaly into its regional and local components. The crustal and lithospheric mantle structure is calculated from the geoid height and elevation data combined with thermal analysis. Our results show that Moho depth var...
