Review and Updated Checklist of Freshwater Fishes of Iran: Taxonomy, Distribution and Conservation Status
Iran. J. Ichthyol. (March 2017), 4(Suppl. 1): 1–114 Received: October 18, 2016 © 2017 Iranian Society of Ichthyology Accepted: February 30, 2017 P-ISSN: 2383-1561; E-ISSN: 2383-0964 doi: 10.7508/iji.2017 http://www.ijichthyol.org Review and updated checklist of freshwater fishes of Iran: Taxonomy, distribution and conservation status Hamid Reza ESMAEILI1*, Hamidreza MEHRABAN1, Keivan ABBASI2, Yazdan KEIVANY3, Brian W.

Since the work of J.J. Heckel (1846-1849), the number of valid species has increased significantly and the systematic status of many of the species has changed, and reorganization and updating of the published information has become essential. Here we take the opportunity to provide a new and updated checklist of freshwater fishes of Iran based on literature and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history and new fish collections. This article lists 288 species in 107 genera, 28 families, 22 orders and 3 classes reported from different Iranian basins. However, presence of 23 reported species in Iranian waters needs confirmation by specimens. -

Iran-Summer-Youth-Camp-2017M.Pdf
Introduction and philosophy: According to the collaboration between Iran federation and UIAA, Iran won the nomination for holding youth camp of 2015, 2016 and 2017. The first camp was held successfully in Damavand Mount, 5671 meters; also the Second camp was held based on technical climb in Sabalan mount. As a result, the Youth Commission voted again for hosting this international event in Iran for 2017. In 2016 our commissions successfully hosted 22 participants from 7 different Asian and Europian countries, such as great members of Afghanistan federation, president of this organization, named Sedigheh Norestani, and participants from Island, India and Turkey; and 94 Iranian climbers including members of Youth National Team. The youth camp was held in Iran to maintain these purposes: • A chance for youth climbers to become familiar with Iran’s nature and social environment. • Getting to know mountains and continent of Iran. • Sharing cultural differences and experience cultural and social exchange. • Teaching Ice and snow techniques with experienced instructors. • Creating significant communication between Iran youth climbers and foreign climbers. • Obtaining international status in UIAA and among related commissions. Damavand 5671 meter High, magnificent adventure spot, sub active volcano Mt. Damavand is highest peak of Iran and the most prominent feature of Iran looming majestically near the southern coast of the Caspian Sea, also highest point in Middle East. The highest volcano of the Asia is well-known for its volcanic crater and very unique wild flowers named as Mountain Tulip (Tulipa Montana). You can see this special flower mainly in June. Mt Damavand 5671m has a narrow summit crater with permanent snowcap which surrounded by eye-catching peaks of Alborz Mountain range. -
The Natural Areas and Landscape of Iran: an Overview
The natural areas and landscape of Iran: an overview by B. Zehzad, Bahram H. Kiabi, and H. Madjnoonian Iran forms a large part of the Iranian plateau, and covers an area of 1,623,779 km². It is bordered in the north by the Caucasus Mts., Middle Asian natural regions and the Caspian Sea (-27 m below sea level); in the west by the Anatolian and Mesopotamian regions; in the east by the eastern part of the Iranian plateau (Afghanistan and adjacent west Pakistan) and the Baluch-Sindian region; and finally in the south by the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea, which are connected by the latter to the Indian Ocean. The main highlands are comprised of four distinct mountainous areas: Alburz in the north (Mt. Damavand, 5628 m; Mt. Takht-e Soleyman, 4643 m); Kopet-Dagh and north Khorasan ranges in the north-east (Mt. Hezar- Masjed, 3040 m; Mt. Binaloud, 3211 m); Zagros in the west (Mt. Dena, 4409 m; Mt. Zard- Kuh, 4221 m); Jebal Barez and Baluchestan mountains in the central to southeast (Mt. Bah- raseman, 3886 m; Mt. Pelvar, 4233 m; Mt. Jupar, 4135 m; Mt. Lalehzar, 4351 m; Mt. Taf- tan, 3941 m). In addition, the northwest Iranian mountainous area (Mt. Sabalan, 4811 m; Mt. Sahand, 3707 m) and the central Iranian mountainous area (Mt. Karkas, 3895 m; Mt. Shirkuh, 4055 m) form more or less distinct highlands in the inner part of the country. Seven desert plains and depressions give the landscape a completely different appearance: Dasht-e Kavir in Central Iran, Dasht-e Lut desert, Sistan and Jazmurian depressions in the southeast, Khuzestan plain in the southwest, Moghan steppe in the northwest and the Turk- man-Sahra steppe in the northeast. -

Coastal tourism started in the 19th Century and stimulated by a combination of developments in transport technology and rising prosperity[1]. Sandy beaches are prime sites for human recreation.arguably, it is the strong attraction of beaches that underpins many coastal economies, and wich countinues to fuel commercial developments, tourism and population shifts to coastal area[2]. In this study has used analysis of strategic factors that is called SWOT.SWOT matrix with regard to internal factors( include strengths and weakness) and external factors( include opportunities and threats) that provide a suitable base for presenting strategies.[3] PROCEDURE: Length of coastal line of mazandaran province in contact by Caspian sea water is more than 487 km[4]. Only 22 km are accessible for public that also estuaries are in this range [5]. In this study, selected 4 coastal resorts in west of province that consist 8 managed coastal recreational area plans. -

Proceedings World Geothermal Congress 2010 Bali, Indonesia, 25-29 April 2010 Magnetotelluric Survey of NW Sabalan Geothermal Project, Iran Soheil Porkhial1, David M. Rigor, Jr.2 Lauro F. Bayrante2 and Domingo B. Layugan2 1SUNA Renewable Energy Organization, Yadegar-e-Emam Highway, Poonak-e-Bakhtary Ave., Sharak Ghods, Tehran, Iran 2Energy Development Corporation, Merritt Road, Ft. Bonifacio, Taguig City, Philippines Keywords: MT, 2-D modeling, conductive layer later constructed southeast of NWS-1 in preparation for Stage 2 drilling activities in NW Sabalan. ABSTRACT A technical team from the EDC (formerly known as the 2-D-resistivity modeling of the data from the latest MT PNOC-EDC or PNOC-Energy Development Corporation) survey undertaken in 2007 was used to map a shallow was convened in 2007 to conduct a review of available data resistivity anomaly located east of Pad E and west of the provided by the Renewable Energies Organization (SUNA) young lava domes of the Post-caldera Kasra Volcanic of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The review proposed a Formation. The anomaly is postulated to represent the hydrological model suggesting that the upflow is more possible upflow region of the NW Sabalan geothermal likely situated east-southeast of the Moil Valley. This field. The interface between the conductive layer and the model was based on the pattern of low-resistivity tongues underlying higher resistivity body lies beneath Moil Valley defined in the apparent iso-resistivity map at 0.33 Hertz at an elevation of ~2000 m asl and shoals toward the given in Figure 2 and the temperature contours at 1500 m southeast. -
