New method for measurement of barchans parameters Case study: Lut desert, Iran
Authors
Abstract:
This research has attempted to measure the parameters of barchan dunes as one of the desert landforms. This has been conducted by a field survey using cartographic techniques. In the field, two barchan dunes have completely been surveyed by total station equipment. Using the sample points a novel method has been devised to measure the barchans parameters. The method is mainly based on geometric relations and Cartesian coordinate system. All the parameters of the dunes have been measured by both the common methods of previous studies and the new method of this study. By this research, some new parameters have also been added to the dune analysis studies. The method has proved to be more precise relative to the previous methods for measurements of barchans. These measurements make it possible to compare the dunes in different areas of the world and also for different periods of time. Many parameters of the dunes can also be examined more easily.

Yardangs are one of the most amazing geomorphic features of Lut desert, Iran developed in alluvial deposits of Pleistocene. They appear as the streamlined hills that are separated by U-shaped troughs with a flat-topped. The study of yardang’s morphometric parameters is important to define their morphological indices. In This study, we describe the morphology of yardangs in the Lut playa, analyz...

Lut 009 meteorite was found during a trip to Lut Desert of Iran in March,2012, at 30°20.38' N, 59°09.04' E. Chemical compositions of equilibrated olivine (Fa19.3 ± 0.5) and orthopyroxene (Fs16.7 ± 0.6) show that the meteorite sample belongs to H group of ordinary chondrites, while the texture (chondrule petrography and plagioclase size) suggests a petrologic type of 4. The Lut 009 has been very...

Groundwater quality determination regarding major anions and cations (Case study of an aquifer in the Lut Desert, Iran)
Groundwater quality regarding major anions and cations in the Birjand Plain located in the largest desert in Eastern Iran was monitored in this study. Fifteen boreholes were considered as sampling stations and the parameters pH, TDS, EC and major anions and cations were measured in groundwater samples. The dominant groundwater types can be introduced as sodium-chloride and magnesium-sulphate. T...
