using global free air gravity and topography data, first we have calculated a bouguer anomaly (ba) map for iranian plateau and then computed the residual isostasy anomaly map under the airy-heiskannen assumption. the term residual is used as to reflect the assumption of local isostatic compensation in contrast to a regional isostatic compensation. the value with which the gravity effect of the ...

a detailed standard magnetotelluric (mt) study was conducted to recognize brine bearing layers in depths of less than 2000 m in the northeast of iran close to the southeastern shore of the caspian sea. long and medium period natural-field mt methods have proved very useful for subsurface mapping purpose by determining the resistivity of the near surface structure. mt data were analyzed and mode...

introduction the mn mineralization occurs in the northeastern segment of the sabzevar zone (sz), north of the central iranian microcontinent (cim). this zone (sz) is located between the cim fragmentation in the south and the kopeh dagh sedimentary sequence in the north. the ore deposits of the northeastern segment of the sabzevar zone can be divided into three groups, each with different metal ...

iran is located in a roughly triangular deforming region, consisting of relatively undeformed shield areas to the southwest (arabia) and northeast and the more recently deformed, though currently inactive, southwest afghanistan block in the east. the current geological and tectonic setting of iran is due to the ongoing convergence between the arabian and eurasian plates, which resulted in the f...
