Andarian area is located north of Tabriz city, north west Iran, and tectonically is a part of Ahar-Arasbaran magmatic belt. Geology of the area includes Miocene shallow pluton, Cretaceous flysch-type sediments, metamorphic rocks )hornfels and skarn( and volcanic rocks. Mineralization occurred in two stages: primary and secondary. The primary ore minerals include Au, pyrite and stibnite. Malachi...

Knowledge and understanding of changes in forest cover in relation to environmental factors (topography) can be valuable in terms of conservational and protective guidances. The purpose of this study was to identify, quantify and predict deforestation in relation to topographic variables using logistic regression model. The Arasbaran catchments (Naposhtehchay, Ilginehchay and Mardanqumchay) in ...

Arasbaran is one of most important regions in terms of agriculture, economics and tourism in northwest of Iran that it usually receives the most yearly spring precipitation. To recognize the synoptic patterns of the 500 hpa, geopotential  height data were driven for coordinates 00-70 ˚ E and 15- 65˚N in rainy springs (1972-1976-1979-1981-1986).To select the most important component using princi...

Livelihood of rural people depends on the use of land and the exploitation of natural resources and forest. Therefore, their activities can have significant effects on these resources. The magnitude of these effects and changes in the level of the forest are affected by the development level of the villages. The main objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between the develop...

1- Introduction The studied area is situated in northeast Varzeghan in East Azerbaijan Province. In the classification of the structural unites of Iran, this area is a part of Ahar-Arasbaran magmatic arc. The Cenozoic magmatism in the Ahar–Arasbaran region started in the Eocene with an intensive volcanic activity that produced widespread basic to felsic rocks and continued in the Oligo-Miocene...
