Climate change is one of the major global concerns. Emission of anthropogenic greenhouse gases is the main cause of climate change. One way of reducing the emissions is the application of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in geological formations. In this study, feasibility of CCS was studied in an Iranian gas production area located in the northern Persian Gulf coast in the south of country. Th...

The appearance of Square in Northwest Iran, as a traditional element of the city, did not have a certain definition in the urban planning due to its structural disruption in the spatial fabric as well as its chaotic present in the manifestation of its identity. On the other hand, since the concept of the square in this area does not match to the similar models existing in the central plateau of...

Abstract Hormuz salt formation is considered the origin of evaporated deposits in Zagros and its ductile behavior has been known as reason for inhomogeneous deformation Zagros. However, our knowledge about this limited to domes on surface. In study, local earthquakes recorded by a temporary dense seismological network 17 stations, deployed southern margin Simply Folded Belt (SFB) southwestern I...

The East Chia Sabz site is located on the bank of the Seymareh River in the middle of the Zagros Mountain chain. The site is among the few examples of the acramic Neolithic sites of the 8th millennium B.C. of Zagros which was archaeologically investigated during the rescue archaeological studies of the Seymareh dam. Numerous bullet-shaped cores were unearthed during the archaeological excavatio...

throughout prehistory, the cultures of iran and western asia differed in important respects. many of these differencescan be attributed to the different geographic and environmental conditions in the two regions. western iran is largely aheavily divided mountainous region with difficult access whereas mesopotamia is relatively flat and open to travel andtrade. the early holocene environment of ...

voluminous quaternary extrusive rocks, associated with widespread volcanic activities, occur in the northwestern iran and across the turkish-iranian plateau. field and petrographic studies reveal that these volcanic rocks, consisting of basalt to trachyandesite, occur as lava flows, columnar basalts, and cinder cones in three distinct areas of northern (bazergan-maku-burlan), middle (chalderan)...

2 ABSTRACT A seasonal forecast system based on a global, fully coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation model is used to (i) evaluate the interannual predictability of the Northwest Pacific climate during June-August following El Niño [JJA(1)], and (ii) examine the contribution from the tropical Indian Ocean (TIO) variability. The model retrospective forecast for 1983-2006 captures major mo...
