Active deformation in Alborz range is due to N-S convergence between Arabia and Eurasia. This paper provides geomorphic traces of regional deformation in NW Iran in order to characterize active faulting on major faults. Soltanieh and North Zanjan fault systems are involved in convergence boundary extent between South Caspian Basin and Central Iran. Soltanieh and North Zanjan faults are major re...

for the first time, an assemblage of cryptospores, which includes 10 species belonging to nine genera, from the upper ordovicianstrata, is being reported, in iran. these cryptospore assemblages were recovered from the upper part of ghelli formation., from theeastern alborz mountain range. these peri-gondwanan cryptospores have been classified based on their morphology (monad, truedyad, pseudody...

earthquake has always endangered cities. this article mainly focuses on the question “whether seismic damages could be diminished through the presentation a preventive operational pattern dealing with physical and nonphysical features of civil defense”. tehran, the most populous metropolis among iranian cities is to the south of alborz mountain range, located on potentially dangerous fault- lin...

This study was carried out to determine species composition of sooty mold fungi on Citrus species in Gilan Province, which is located in the North of Iran. This region isolated by Alborz mountain range from other parts of the country with maximum rainfall about 2000 mm/year. A total of seven species belonging to various genera of mitosporic fungi viz., Conidiocarpous penzigii, C. cf. caucasicus...

jajrood protected complex (khojir and sorkheh hesar national parks and jajrood protected area) is one of the most important habitats of central alborz wild sheep (ovis gmelini x o. vignei) in iran. since the species mate in fall, then fall home range has critical rule in life cycle of this species. using the ecological niche factor analysis (enfa), effective factors on the presence of species w...

as pioneer trends in iranian computational dialectology, the leveneshtain algorithm applied to mazandarani dialect data - extracted from lai – revealed regional dialect in the northern range of the alborz mountains. current synchronic fieldwork aimed to determine vowels responsible for regional variation, and likewise reliability and validity of the research findings, through vowel frequency me...
