The aim of this study was the spatial and temporal monitoring soil erosion patterns in Iran. G2 model used, as an appropriate tool to provide required month-time step country-wide loss maps statistical outputs. input parameters were derived with field surveys remote sensing imagery (MODIS, SRTM, SPOT, Sentinel-2 scenes). An innovation for consideration snow cover effect on rainfall erosivity. I...

Linguistic data are the most source to make inferences about culture, history, lifestyle and national identity of a society. Based on these linguistic data, it is known that Old Turks had nomadic thus culture. Animals carry great importance for cultures. Albeit Turks’ adaptation settled life in following centuries, animals continued have an important place their lives, similar those The Qashqai...

Among the many Assyrian written sources and inscriptions some texts report the military expeditions of the kings of Assyria. These accounts, the so-called Itineraries texts, describe in details the different stops of the armies through territories outside the Assyrian heartland. With regard to the Zagros area, the reports mention different long and ruthless campaigns undertaken by some Assyrian...

the altitude to which the past glaciers had been extended during the last glacial period in dinevar basin, western iran, can be estimated based on glacier-geomorpic evidence such as cirques, u-shaped valleys, and the moraines in lowlands. this study estimates the elevation of snowline during this period for the basin as the objective of the research. topographic and geologic maps, landsat image...

Magnetic susceptibility has been extensively used to determine the magnetic properties of rocks for different applications, such as hydrocarbon or mineral explorations. This magnetic quantity can be directly measured in an accurate but time-consuming operation, or it can be mathematically approximated using a reliable procedure to achieve a desired accuracy. The Poisson theory is one of the mos...

The Seymareh landslide is the largest rock slope failure (44 Gm3) ever recorded on exposed Earth surface. It detached at ∼10 ka from northeastern flank of Kabir-Kuh anticline (Zagros Mountains, Iran) creating a natural dam responsible for formation lake system that persisted ∼3 kyr during early and mid-Holocene before its emptying phase caused by overflow. chronology demise connection to Holoce...

The magnitude and duration of ongoing global warming affects tree growth, especially in semi-arid forest landscapes, which are typically dominated by a few adapted species. We investigated the effect climatic control on growth Persian oak (Quercus brantii Lindl.), is dominant species Central Zagros Mountains western Iran. A total 48 stem discs was analyzed from trees at three sites, differing l...
