the igneous dykes are a small mafic rock unit exposed in the south gorgan of eastern alborz, north iran. these mafic dykes are intruded in the middle–upper paleozoic sedimentary and metamorphic rocks units representing a part of the north gondwana province. the studied samples were collected from various locations along the exposed bodies. thin sections of these rocks show medium to coarse grai...

Large igneous provinces (LIPs) form in both oceanic and continental settings by the emplacement and eruption of voluminous magmas ranging from basalt to rhyolite in composition. Continental flood basalt provinces are the best studied LIPs and consist of crustal intrusive systems, extensive flood lavas and ignimbrites, and mafic volcaniclastic deposits in varying proportions. Intrusive rocks are...

Dykes, or levees, are structures designed and constructed to keep the water in a river within certain bounds event of flood. In relation with climate change, more frequent floods, higher intensity, can be expected due anthropogenic emissions greenhouse gases into atmosphere. The objective this review paper is address many ways which geosynthetics contribute sustainable construction dykes thus s...
