Mashhad Plain affects by a series of active faults in the northern margin of the Binalud and the southern margin of the Kopet-Dagh mountain ranges. The activity of these faults forms the morphology of the stepped bedrock of the Plain. In addition, the faults’ activities in the Quaternary period are the main effective parameters in thickness and texture of aquifer deposits in Mashhad Plain. In t...

Shallow earth translational slides and earth flows, affecting colluvial soils derived by the weathering of the clayey bedrock, are a recurrent problem causing damage to buildings and roads in many areas of Apennines. The susceptibility assessment, e.g. slope stability models, requires the preliminary characterization of these superficial covers (lithology, geotechnical and hydraulic parameters)...

abstract management of water resources in iran is faced with growing demand for water resources, a considerable increase in the costs of supplying additional water and uncontrolled exploitation of underground waters. economists suggest water pricing to improve water use efficiency; however, government tends to reject that advice due to political risk, economic and cultural concerns. we used a p...

We applied a multi-method approach to reconstruct the Gorte rock avalanche (85–95 Mm3) located at northeastern end of Lake Garda. The combination field mapping, characterization bedrock discontinuities, Dan3D-Flex runout modeling and dating boulders with cosmogenic 36Cl supports conclusion that deposits stem from single 6.1 ± 0.8 ka. event may have triggered Spiaz de Navesele–Salto della Capra ...
