dezful embayment contains several potential source rocks deposited in tectonically active environments. existence of various source rocks with different geological ages makes this area one of the most prolific regions throughout the middle east. the pabdeh formation (lower paleocene-eocene), the gurpi formation (santonian-masstrichtian), the kazhdumi formation (albian) and the gadvan formation ...

IWMI's mission is to contribute to food security and poverty eradication by fostering sustainable increases in the productivity of water through better management of irrigation and other water uses in river basins. In serving this mission, IWMI concentrates on the integration of policies, technologies and management systems to achieve workable solutions to real problems—practical, relevant resu...

Prediction of sediment yield from catchments is essential in the investigation of reservoir sedimentation and other hydrological and geological studies. Many methods have been used in the prediction of sediment yield. Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is a newly developed model that can be applied to rural watershed. SWAT model has used Modified Universal Soil Loss Equation (MUSLE) in sedim...

This paper applied the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) technique and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) procedure to evaluate the wastewater treatment for enterprises. Based on the characteristics of wastewater treatment for enterprises in Taihu basin, an evaluating index system was established for enterprise and analysis hierarchy process method was applied to determine index weight. Then t...

[1] Analysis and modeling of InSAR data covering the 2008 Reno-Mogul M 4.7 earthquake swarm indicate that the main event was produced by slip on a previously unrecognized strike-slip fault in the Reno basin. Deformation of 0.5– 2.5 cm in radar line-of-sight was produced by the main event and post-seismic slip over an area of more than 150 km. This earthquake is one of the smallest magnitude eve...

Mesacanthus is a common and speciose genus of acanthodian fish from Lower Old Red Sandstone and Middle Old Red Sandstone assemblages (representing the Lower Devonian and Middle Devonian respectively) and is well represented in many palaeoichthyology collections in the UK. Based upon descriptions given during the 19th century, specimens of the genus Mesacanthus from the Orcadian Basin and Midlan...

Introduction: With a diameter of ~1500 km [1,2], Caloris is the largest impact basin on Mercury and one of the largest within the Solar System. Caloris, formed ~3.9 Ga [3], is also the best-preserved large mercurian basin. The basin was first imaged in its entirety by the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) onboard the MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) spa...
