Morphometric Analysis to Assess Sea Level History and Uplift Rate in the Pleistocene Marine Terraces of Chabahar
Abstract Marine terraces have long been used as baseline geodetic markers of relative past sea levels, reflecting the interaction between vertical crustal movements and sea level oscillations. The terraces age and elevation of shoreline angles can be used to determine uplift rate. Disparate uplift rates in pervious investigation in the study area are related to manual measurements based on ...
متن کاملQuaternary Deposits and the Paleolithic Sites on the Northern Edge of Iranian Central Desert: Introduction of the Newly-found Paleolithic Sites of Shour-e Qazi and Sar-Darreh
The northern fringes of the Iranian Central Desert (NICD) is a long corridor created due to the proximity of the Alborz Mountains to the north and the Central Desert to the south. For the first time, one of the present authors (HVN) highlighted the importance of the NICD as one of the routes for the dispersal of human populations from Africa to East Asia during Pleistocene epoch. In recent year...
متن کاملArid climate 2 . 5 Ma in the Plio - Pleistocene Valdarno Basin ( Northern Apennines , Italy )
Distinctive, eolian-dominated sandy deposits 35 m thick exposed along the SW margin of the Plio-Pleistocene Valdarno Basin in the Northern Apennines, Italy, reflect an unusually arid period in the region. Paleomagnetic investigation and Ar/Ar dating of a tephra layer, 10 m above the eolian sand, suggest that the sand was deposited between about 2.7 and 2.4 Ma. This age is coeval with the global...
متن کاملGeological-archeological study of the Mirk area (Semnan, Iran) using sedimentological and physico-chemical analyzes
Mirak (Semnan, Iran) is a Paleolithic site located in a dry floodplain near the northern edge of the Iranian Central Desert. The pedo-sedimentary successions of Mirak 8 are deposited from late Pleistocene to Late Holocene,. The chronological framework was established using optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating. The oldest studied units dating back to ~50 ± 3.0 ka. Within this stratigra...
متن کاملRecord of large, Late Pleistocene outburst floods preserved in Saanich Inlet sediments, Vancouver Island, Canada
Two anomalous, gray, silty clay beds are present in ODP cores collected from Saanich Inlet, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. The beds, which date to about 10,500 C yr BP (11,000 calendar years BP), contain Tertiary pollen derived from sedimentary rocks found only in the Fraser Lowland, on the mainland of British Columbia and Washington just east of the Strait of Georgia. Abundant ill...
