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. -
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. -

Iran in Botanical Perspective Mehdi Zarrei
Iran in Botanical Perspective Mehdi Zarrei Iran, with an area of about 1.65m square kilometers, has some of the most varied and interesting flora in the region. Topographical, climatic and edaphic conditions have made it rich to the extent of more than 7,000 species. There are two main mountain chains: the Alburz range, extending from the northwest to the northeast of Iran, acts as a barrier preventing clouds moving from the Caspian towards the central basin of Iran. The Zagros range, running from the north-west to the south, prevents the eastward movement of clouds coming from the Mediterranean area. This is the reason why the eastern slopes of the Zagros and the southern parts of the Alburz are dryer than the opposing slopes. The Hyrcanian area (the southern coast of the Caspian Sea and the northern slopes of the Alburz Mountains) is the most humid area in Iran, with an annual precipitation of about 2,000 mm in the western parts around Bandar-e Anzali. In contrast, the annual precipitation in the central basins, particularly the Dasht-e Kavir and Dasht-e Lut deserts, is less than 100 mm; there is sometimes no rain for several years. Most parts of Iran belong to the Holoarctic phytogeographical kingdom, and only the southern regions (north of a line from the Persian Gulf to the Oman Sea) belong to the Paleotropic kingdom. The Hyrcanian area is mainly covered by forests. In the Hyrcanian forest Pterocarya fraxinifolia (Poir.) K.Koch, Celtic australis L. and Zelkova carpinifolia Dippel are endemic Arcto-Tertiary elements. -

Reinterpreting Sustainable Design of Traditional Iranian Cities
Reinterpreting sustainable design of traditional Iranian cities A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy Nima Dibazar Welsh School of Architecture Cardiff University September 2016 Abstract: In our constant attempts to reduce the negative impact of urbanisation on natural environment and to improve quality of urban life, we must be inventive with new technologies but also to re-learn and re-use effective local solutions which have been used for centuries in vernacular cities before the industrialisation and widespread use of fossil fuels. The study focuses on vernacular Iranian cities in order to highlight architectural and urban solutions adopted in response to harsh climate of Iranian plateau. Throughout the study climatic adaptations in vernacular Iranian cities have been investigated in response to four elements of sun, wind, water and green spaces. The main research approach adopted in this research involved urban structure analysis through aerial photos, historic maps, existing literature in Farsi and English as well as on site observation by the author. Native builders informed by accumulated knowledge of their ancestors, constructed dense urban environments with available local materials. These compact cities were efficient but also diverse in land use. Dense urban fabric protected building from cold winter winds and harsh summer sunlight. Water was transported from foothill of mountains via network of underground channels to supply water to buildings and also to moderate temperature by surface evaporation. Local knowledge of regional winds enabled native people to build houses and streets with appropriate orientation and benefit from favourable winds for ventilation and to avoid harsh unpleasant winds. -

A Recent Magnetotelluric Investigation of the Sabalan Geothermal Field in North-Western Iran
Bollettino di Geofisica Teorica ed Applicata Vol. 57, n. 3, pp. 261-274; September 2016 DOI 10.4430/bgta0174 A recent magnetotelluric investigation of the Sabalan geothermal field in north-western Iran B. OSKOOI1, M. TAKALU1, M. MONTAHAEI1 and M.R. RAHMANI2 1 Institute of Geophysics, University of Tehran, Iran 2 Geothermal Exploration Division, Renewable Energy Organization, Tehran, Iran (Received: April 29, 2015; accepted: March 23, 2016) ABSTRACT Magnetotelluric measurements of the Sabalan geothermal field in north-western Iran could clearly highlight the geothermal reservoirs. This study is aimed at delineating the shallow as well as deeper conductive anomalies related to the geothermal systems in the Sabalan area. Dimensionality analysis showed a two-dimensional (2D) behavior for the data, and therefore 2D inversion was performed. The resistivity sections showed that the Sabalan geothermal system is in agreement with the results of Johnston et al. (1992), in which thick conductive layers are found close to the surface. Two reservoirs have been located. The main reservoir is located in the western side of the Sabalan volcano, extending from south and SW of the Sabalan summit towards the west and Moeil valley. The dimensions of this reservoir are approximately two times greater than the estimated volume that resulted from earlier studies. The other reservoir, with smaller dimensions, is located to the north of the peak. Key words: geothermal reservoir, magnetotelluric, Sabalan, resistivity, Iran. 1. Introduction Geophysical methods, especially magnetotelluric (MT), play a key role in geothermal exploration, since naturally occurring high temperatures, fluid-filled faults, and other elements of geothermal systems produce strong variations in underground physical properties.
