The study area is located ~50 km in the north of Tehran capital city, Iran, and is a part of central Alborz Mountain. The intrusive bodies aged post Eocene have intruded in the Eocene volcanic units causing hydrothermal alterations in these units. Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) images were used to map hydrothermal alteration zones. The propylitic, phyllic...

[1] We perform a set of analogue wax experiments aimed at understanding the processes and conditions that lead to lineament formation on Europa. We heat a layer of wax from below and cool it from above so that a solid layer of wax forms above a molten layer, simulating either the liquid ocean or the actively convecting part of the ice shell. The solid layer of wax is then deformed periodically,...

Volcanic activity at convergent plate margins is localized along lineaments of active volcanoes that focus rising magma generated within the mantle below. In many arcs worldwide, particularly continental arcs, the volcanic front migrates away from the interface of subduction (the trench) over millions of years, reflecting coevolving surface forcing, tectonics, crustal magma transport, and mantl...

Resourcesat-1 LISS-IV Mx satellite imagery was used for detailed geomorphological and hydrogeological study of Karawan watershed. For morphometric analysis, ASTER data was used for preparing digital elevation model and GIS was used in evaluation of linear, areal and relief aspects of morphometric parameters. Watershed boundary, flow accumulation, flow direction, stream ordering; and contour, sl...

We detect, for the first time, a negative free-air gravity anomaly of 23 mGal amplitude over a region in the South Atlantic Ocean centered at 48◦W and 35◦S. To this end, we used the integration of conventional shipborne gravity data and gravity data derived from GEOSAT/ERM satellite altimetry. The north bound of this anomaly coincides with the Chuı́ Lineament and the south bound indicates anothe...

This work presents a new software tool for morphometric analysis of drainage networks based on the methods of Hack (1973) and Etchebehere et al. (2004). This tool is applicable to studies of morphotectonics and neotectonics. The software used a digital elevation model (DEM) to identify the relief breakpoints along drainage profiles (knickpoints). The program was coded in Python for use on the A...

In this study, structural lineaments and fracture zones of the northern region Central Indian Ridge have been determined using gravity data from XGM2019e_2159 global model. scope, firstly, edge detection performances gradient amplitude tilt angle (THDR), theta map (TM), improved local phase (ILP), logistic (IL) methods evaluated on synthetic examples. The results show that IL method effectively...

This study focuses on the departments of Yamoussoukro and Toumodi located in central Côte d'Ivoire where problem drinking water supply is a growing reality. Its objective to map analyze fracturing likely develop underground aquifers from Landsat 8 OLI data. The set techniques (color composition, directional gradient filters) used resulted enhancement linear structures present satellite images, ...
