Sixth millennium BC Dalma ceramics from the northwestern and central Zagros have previously been described as beingimpossible to distinguish using decorative style analysis in spite of the great distance between the two regions. In thisstudy, petrographic (thin section) analysis and a small-scale electron microprobe project was carried out on the ceramicsof the two regions, as well as a small s...

we usewe use ml shear wave velocity to derive a high resolution 2d ml shear wave velocity map for the iranian plateau. the ml amplitudes and arrival times are routinely measured for the calculation of local magnitude. ml shear wave velocity is very sensitive to the lateral change of crustal thickness and switches between the velocity of lg and sn waves. an lg wave will die out as soon as encoun...

Climate change has a great impact on the species distribution range and many endangered plant species. Fritillaria imperialis as a species that is native to Central Zagros, Iran is a medicinal plant with great ecological and commercial profits. Its population has decreased considerably and the species would be endangered in later decades. Understanding the habitat needs of this species, evaluat...

In this study, the active tectonics, paleoseismicity, and seismic hazards of Doroud Fault are examined through high-resolution satellite image interpretations, field investigations, outcrop trench excavations, dating geochronology samples. The (DF), one essential segments Main Recent in northern margin Zagros mountain range, has a historical instrumental background high seismicity. We present f...
