The coastal region of Chabahar Gulf with 1113.7km2 area has been located in the southeast of Iran. In this research, satellite images of ETM+ (2004) were used in order to zoning of sedimentary environments in this Gulf. Methodology of this research was baesd on synthesis of supervised and unsupervised classifications in GIS and ENVI softwares. Based on studies and calculat...

Plastic is cheap, ubiquitous and persistent. In 2010 the world produced 265M tonnes. Annual output is increasing with new uses and varieties augmenting demand. Plastic persists for centuries, much of it finding its way into coasts and waterways. Approximately 80% of marine debris is plastic (mostly bags and bottles), accumulating through spillage, runoff, dumping and discharge; with varied envi...

Marine microorganisms have unique physiological properties and novel metabolites such as biosurfactant to live in extreme habitats (e.g. oil polluted environment). The aim of this study was to characterize some biosurfactant-producing bacteria collected from sediment and seawater samples from the Caspian Sea. These bacteria were isolated using enrichment method in ONR7a medium with crude oil as...

Phenol and phenol compounds are environmental pollutants present in industrial wastewaters such as, coal tar, oil refineries and petrochemical plants exist. Phenol removal from industrial effluent is extremely important in protection of environment. Recently phenol biodegradation has been considered. Marine bacteria are the most important phenol biodegrader. In this study, the phenol-degrading ...

Ships transport about 80 percent of world trade and transfer approximately three to five billion tons of ballast water internationally every year. Due to the likely presence of pollutants, the ballast water discharged by ships can have negative effects on aquatic ecosystems. This study was conducted on 10 ships that entered the Bushehr port to determine the effectiveness of the ballast water ex...

With the rapid development of society and the economy, an increasing number of human activities have gradually destroyed the marine environment. Marine environment monitoring is a vital problem and has increasingly attracted a great deal of research and development attention. During the past decade, various marine environment monitoring systems have been developed. The traditional marine enviro...

To construct more realistic virtual marine world, it required the marine environment and the production of objects through consideration of spatial characteristics and a system that can support the various forms of interactions. This paper proposes an architecture that includes realistic data, smart object modeling, 3D visualization and interaction that are the levels of the construction of the...

Jurisdictions that are contemplating the development of 3D Cadastres cannot afford to ignore the marine environment. Apart from its extreme importance as a resource, the use of the marine environment is volumetric by nature and involves the exercising of rights to the surface, water column, seabed, and subsoil. This paper proposes a 3D marine cadastre model that can be used to support effective...
