IN MEMORIAM Peter Simion Pallas (1741-1811) Peter Simion Pallas was born in Berlin on 22 September 1741, the son of professor of Surgery Simon Pallas. His father offered him the possibiliy to study with private tutors and help him constantly to find an interest in science and later to build a solid profesional basis. In these very early years of his life he took a special interest in natural history, an interest not to leave him until the end of his life. Following his father he attending the Medical Institute of Berlin where graduates in 1758. He continue his studies in mathematics and sciences of medicine at Göttingen and Halle universities. In 1760 he moved to Leiden University and took his PhD in medicine. He traveled throughout England where he researched the zoology of the marine coasts, and Netherlands being attracted by the Dutch museum collections. He settled for a while at Hague, and his new system of animal classification was praised by Georges Cuvier. Returned to Berlin he starts to work on his Spicilegia Zoologica (1767-1780). In 1767, was invited by the German origin Catherine II of Russia (Catherine the Great) to teach at the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. He led an expedition between 1768-1774, to central Russia, Urals, West Siberia, Altay and Transbaikal collecting many natural history specimens. He explored also the Caspian Sea, the Ural, Altai Mountains and the upper Amur, reaching as far eastward as Lake Baikal. In 1776, Pallas was elected as member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. He was provided with the plants collected by other naturalists to compile the Flora Rossica (1784-1815), and started work on his Zoographica Rosso-Asiatica (1811-1831). He also published an account of Johann Anton Güldenstädt's travels in the Caucasus. Between 1793 and 1794, Pallas led a second expedition to southern Russia, visiting the Crimea, Black Sea and Caspian Sea coasts, Nipru Valley, etc. Pallas gave his account of the journey in his P. S. Pallas Bemerkungen auf einer Reise in die Südlichen Statthalterschaften des Russischen Reichs (1799-1801). In his expeditions he covered with his interest a wide range of topics, including geology and mineralogy, reports on the native peoples and their religions, descriptions of new plants and animals, etc. The Empress bought Pallas's large natural history collection, and allowed him to keep them for life. He issued the first time the idea of geographical variability of species and geographical differentiation of populations within the same species Among his works we should add: Dissertatio inauguralis de infestis viventibus infra viventia (1760); Elenchus zoophytorum, sistens generum adumbrationes generaliores et specierum cognitarum succinctas descriptiones, cum selectis auctorum synonymis (1766); Naturgeschichte merkwürdiger Thiere (1769-1778); Reise durch verschiedene Provinzen des Russischen Reichs (1771-1801); Sammlungen historischer Nachrichten über die mongolischen Völkerschaften (1776-1801); Observations sur la formation des montagnes et sur les changements arrivés au Globe (1777); Novae species Quadrupedum e Glirium ordine (1778); Mémoires sur la variation des animaux (1780); Icones Insectorum praesertim Rossiae Sibiriaeque peculiarium (1781-1806); Species Astragalorum descriptae et iconibus coloralis illustratae (1800); Travels through the southern provinces of the Russian Empire (1802); etc. He leaved Russia in 1810 and returned to Berlin. He died in 1811 in his country, letting behind a life of work and really impressive results in the field of natural sciences.

Department of Geology, Faculty of basic science, Shahid Bahonar University, Kerman, Iran Received 4 February 2008; accepted: 8 September 2009 Abstract The most enigmatic problems with the nearly 200 salt domes pierced in the Persian Gulf and in the Zagros Mountain Ranges (ZMR) in southern Iran, a unique morphology in the world, have been the matter of this study, which is based on a combination of field work, enhancement of satellite and aerial photographs etc. In the ZMR, structural anomalies are frequently associated with similar facies distribution patterns. In the eastern portion of the region, emergent salt plugs of Infra-Cambrian age exhibit the same alignment patterns. Such trends bear no apparent genetic relationship to the Tertiary folding responsible for the present Zagros fold belt, but rather indicate their affinity with linear basement features which are readily observable on Land sat imagery and aerial photographs. Bending of anticlines in the competent cover rock, combined with minor strike-slip faults and horizontal displacements of parts of folded structures, strongly point to the presence of these basement faults.

Naturforsch. 60c, 285Ð291 (2005) Wetland grasses and grass-like monocots are very important natural remediators of pollu- tants. Their genetic improvement is an important task because introduction of key transgenes can dramatically improve their remediation potential. Tissue culture is prerequisite for ge- netic manipulation, and methods are reported here for in vitro culture and micropropagation of a number of wetland plants of various ecological requirements such as salt marsh, brackish water, riverbanks, and various zones of lakes and ponds, and bogs. The monocots represent numerous genera in various families such as Poaceae, Cyperaceae, Juncaceae, and Typhaceae. The reported species are in various stages of micropropagation and Arundo donax is scaled for mass propagation for selecting elite lines for pytoremediation. Transfer of key genes for mercury phytoremediation into the salt marsh cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) is also reported here. All but one transgenic lines contained both the organomer- curial lyase (merB) and mercuric reductase (merA) sequences showing that co-introduction into Spartina of two genes from separate Agrobacterium strains is possible.

  • Some Topics for Coral Reefs of the Persian Gulf
    Some topics for coral reefs of the Persian Gulf H. Rezai (PhD) Some Characteristics of the Persian Gulf • High salinity up to 41 psu in the north and 200 psu in the south • High temperature range from 16 oC in winter to 36-37 oC in summer • The narrow Strait of Hormuz prevents some larvae from entering the Gulf • Shallow Gulf, mean depth of 35 m, recorded 108 m near Lesser Tunb • Sedimentary basin, hi turbidity • Circulation of water, Mediterranean type • Pollution load • Wars The Persian Gulf is endowed with many islands. This is one of the rare places in earth where the corals can thrive at their extreme temperature with annual temperature fluctuations of > 25o C, so it can act as a laboratory for predicting Climate Change. Low diversity in terms of corals, containing possibly 100 species, a quarter of the number in the Indian Ocean, but abundant in terms of individuals, this is due to extremes in water temperature and salinity that are close to the physiological tolerance limits of many coral species, including a few species endemic to this region (Sheppard and Sheppard, 1991). Coral Reef Structure in the Persian Gulf Dominant reefs are of fringing type. Poorly developed patch reefs. Cycle of mortality, breakdown and re-growth inhibit framework accumulation (Grandcourt, ?). Coral reef development, limitation in Persian Gulf -Undergo extremes of temperature and salinity fluctuations -Undergo high levels of sedimentation and turbidity. -Tolerate high pollution load caused by to oil spillage, shipping and wars -Limited hard substrate for coral growth in the Persian Gulf. - Diseases - Human effects Notion of reef Oyster reef?

Geo- logic situation of salt structures in Iran have determinate. According to age and geological setting of salt deposits that revealed by tectonic geomorphology methods, salt structure provinces of the Central and Southern Iran have been distinguished. Also, critical concepts of salt diapirism in the Southern Iran and Central Iran salt basins have explained. Therefore, Central Iran’s salt diapirs have triggered by tectonic forces, but salt diapirism in the Southern Iran has triggered by haloki- nesis, then it has effected by tectonic forces, especially in Zagros fold and thrust belt. Keywords Tectonic Geomorphology, Salt Structures, Diapir, Iran, Halokinesis 1. Introduction Tectonic geomorphology is the study of the interaction between tectonics and surface processes that form the structure during geologic times. Salt diapir or piercement structure with a central, nearly equidimensional salt plug, generally one to two kilometers or more in diameter, which has risen through the enclosing sediments from a mother salt bed beneath the top of the plug, is called salt dome [1].

GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites, 28(1), 232–245. https://doi.org/10.30892/gtg.28118-465 Abstract: Hormuz Island is a salt dome situated in the Persian Gulf waters near the mouth of Hormuz Strait in Hormuzgan province, at 8 kilometers distance from Bandar Abbas. The island is elliptical, and its rock is mostly of the igneous and often volcanic type. Hormuz is one of the most beautiful Islands of the Persian Gulf due to its geological phenomena and related landforms. This island is a mature salt diapir with great mineralogical and lithological diversity. In this research, we focused on fieldwork, which included data gathering and taking photographs and also a review of the published papers and books. The main geotourism attractions of the island include various landforms resulted from differential erosion, as well as very attractive geomorphologic structures such as rocky and sandy beaches, sea caves, colorful salt domes, coral reefs, etc.

  • Central European Vegetation
    Plant Formations in the Central European BioProvince Peter Martin Rhind Central European Beech Woodlands Beech (Fagus sylvatica) woods form the natural climax over much of Central Europe where the soils are relatively dry and can extend well into the uplands in the more southern zones. In the north, however, around Sweden it is confined to the lowlands. Beech woodlands are often open with a poorly developed shrub layer, Characteristic ground layer species may include various helleborines such as Cephalanthera damasonium, C. longifolia and C. rubra and sedges such as Carex alba, whilst in others, grasses like Sesleria caerlea or Melica uniflora may predominate, but in some of the more acidic examples, Luzula luzuloides is likely to dominate. There are also a number of endemic ground layer species. For example, in Carpathian beech woods endemics such as Dentaria glandulosa (Brassicaceae), Symphytum cordata (Boraginaceae) and the fern Polystichum braunii (Dryopteridaceae) may be encountered. Fine examples of primeaval beech woods can be found in the limestone Alps of lower Austria including the famous ‘Rothwald’ on the southeastern slopes of Dürrentein near Lunz. These range in altitude from about 940-1480 m. Here the canopy is dominated by Fagus sylvatica together with Acer pseudoplatanus, Picea abies, Ulmus glabra, and on the more acidic soils by Abies alba. Typical shrubs include Daphne mezereum, Lonicera alpigena and Rubus hirtus. At ground level the herb layer is very rich supporting possibly up to a 100 species of vascular plants. Examples include Adenostyles alliariae, Asplenium viridis, Campanula scheuchzeri, Cardamine trifolia, Cicerbita alpina, Denteria enneaphyllos, Euphorbia amygdaloides, Galium austriacum, Homogyne alpina, Lycopodium annotinum, Mycelis muralis, Paris quadrifolia, Phyteuma spicata, Prenanthes purpurea, Senecio fuchsii, Valeriana tripteris, Veratrum album and the central European endemic Helliborus niger (Ranunculaceae).

Email: <[email protected]> 2Iranian National Center for Oceanography, #51, Bozorgmehr Ave., I4168, PO BOX: 14155- 4781, Tehran, IRAN. Email: <[email protected]> Abstract In this paper, the coral status of Iranian waters in the Persian Gulf are reviewed and discussed based on the obtained results and information after three years of field surveys in Nay Band Bay, Kish and Farur islands. Altogether, 27 species of corals were identified from the studied areas, belonging to 9 families and 20 genera. Faviidae with 6 genera and 8 species is the most diverse of all families. On the other hand, Poritidae with 2 genera and 4 species is the most abundant corals in all areas. In the last 10 years, Acropora has declined from being the most abundant genus in shallow waters of fringing islands, to almost absennt, due to environmental stresses and human impacts. Anacropora forbesi is reported for the first time from the area. Regarding the coral health, the live coral coverage ranges from 9 to 30%, with minimum coverage in Kish Island and maximum in Nay Band Bay. During this study, no new bleached coral was observed at the surveyed areas, though in the past few years, considerable bleaching events have occurred throughout the area.
