  • Conservation of Badgirs and Qanats in Yazd, Central Iran
    PLEA2006 - The 23rd Conference on Passive and Low Energy Architecture, Geneva, Switzerland, 6-8 September 2006 Conservation of Badgirs and Qanats in Yazd, Central Iran Dr Reza Abouei1, 2 1 School of Architecture, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, UK 2 School of Architecture, Art University of Isfahan, Isfahan, IRAN ABSTRACT: Of all historic Iranian cities, Yazd, with thousands of historic residential buildings and a large number of traditional structures such as badgirs (wind-towers) and qanats (underground tunnels) contains the largest uninterrupted historic urban fabric in Iran. The city is also an important example of Iranian urban history, whose urban fabric, well adapted to regions dry and hot climate, is relatively a living and dynamic area. The special climate of Yazd has made it necessary to adapt a particular architectural style and urban development/redevelopment schemes. Furthermore, most historic areas of the city contain various traditional structures such as the badgirs, ab-anbars (water storages) and qanats. The existence of these mud-brick ventilation structures, which dominate the city’s roofscapes, creates a distinctive architectural feature of Yazd in which an efficient clean energy system has been used for centuries. As an ancient Iranian system of irrigation, the qanats are also among the outstanding infrastructural features of Yazd in which an organised network of deep water wells linked a labyrinth of subterranean tunnels to form an artificial spring. Currently, many of these traditional structures remain in use, but the historic urban fabric of the city is under the risk of gradual depopulation. Accelerated modern technology and the change of social and economic aims of the community, in Yazd like many other historic cities, alongside the infeasibility of changes in traditional infrastructure have caused the gradual abandonment of these areas.

  • Application of Fractal Modeling Based on Remote Sensing Data for Detecting Iron Mineralization in Dehshir–Baft Fault, West of Central Iran
    Revista Geoaraguaia ISSN:2236-9716 Barra do Garças – MT v.10, n. esp. Geologia e Pedologia p.130-154. Dez-2020 APPLICATION OF FRACTAL MODELING BASED ON REMOTE SENSING DATA FOR DETECTING IRON MINERALIZATION IN DEHSHIR–BAFT FAULT, WEST OF CENTRAL IRAN APLICAÇÃO DE MODELO FRACTAL BASEADO EM DADOS DE SENSORIAMENTO REMOTO PARA DETECTAR MINERAÇÕES DE FERRO NA FALHA DEHSHIR-BAFT, NA REGIÃO OESTE DO IRÃ CENTRAL Faezeh Ahmadi1 Mohammad Reza Jafari2 Ahmad Adib*3 Hamid Hrati4 Mohammad Ali Arian5 ABSTRACT Part of Dehshir–Baft Fault is located on the 1:100000 Sarvbala geological sheet west of Yazd Province in Iran on the Urmia–Dokhtar magmatic–mineralization zone. Regions with iron mineralization potential on this sheet were detected by identifying alterations and fault trends by processing ASTER satellite images. Images were processed using the false color composite (FCC), Crosta, LS-Fit, and spectral angle mapper (SAM) methods to identify iron oxide, argillic, propylitic, and phyllic alterations. To find out the role of faults and lineaments in mineralization, the general faulting trend on this sheet was extracted by relief shading on the digital elevation model (DEM), and the fault zones were examined through field operations. Regions with high iron potential were identified by integrating the fault layers, alterations, and mineralization-related geological units in ArcGIS. The identified regions were then validated through field operations. The relationship between the distance of iron oxide alterations obtained from the LS-Fit method with the main fault was evaluated by the fractal method. The results showed the location and more significant relationship of iron potential with faults in the south and southwest of Sarvbala sheet than other regions.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract One of the main faults of the Central Iran is Davaran Fault system which holds right-lateral strike slip with a pressure component. Contemporary activities of this fault signify the continuity of stresses up to now. Davaran fault system has extended parallel to Davaran Mountains. Most of the drainage networks of this region are located on trend of faults. The faults of this region are classi- fied to 5 groups. These groups include conjugated faults of Riedel and Anti-Riedel (R, R'), normal faults (T), faults parallel with the major fault (Y) and faults approximately parallel with the main fault (P). T Faults are normal faults with tension mechanism. By calculation of sinuosity (Smf) of northeast and southwest mountain fronts of the region and ratio of valley floor width of the rivers flowing in the region to their wall height (Vf), it is specified that this region is active in terms of uplift and tectonics.

ICANA A C i e n A ñ o s Late Triassic and Early Cretaceous sedimentary sequences of the northern Isfahan Province (Central Iran): stratigraphy and paleoenvironments Maryam Mannani1,*, Mehdi Yazdi1 1 Department of Geology, University of Isfahan, Isfahan, Iran. * [email protected] Abstract This research gives a general outline of the Upper Triassic and Lower Cretaceous sequences cropping out north of Isfahan, Central Iran. Upper Triassic Nayband Formation subdivided into the Gelkan, Bidestan, Howz-e-Sheikh, Howz-e Khan and Qadir members. Two biostromal levels are documented in the Bidestan and Howz-e-Khan members. Due to a suitable condition in Late Triassic time including light, oxygen and nutrient, fauna such as: corals, sponges, hydrozoas, bivalves, gastropods, brachiopods, echinoderms and Dicroidium were flourished in water and flora on land. The first appearance of Heterastridium spp. in level of the Bidestan Member is apparently the first occurrence of this taxon in Central Iran. Qadir Member has several key beds, one key bed with land flora Cla- thropteris spp., and three key beds with bivalve Indopecten glabra, dating as Rhaetian Stage. An angular unconformity can be traced between Rhaetian sediments and red conglomerates and sandstones of Lower Cretaceous Sequences in Isfahan area which encompasses all Jurassic rocks. This gap can be related to Cimmerian tectonic phase.

This map has been prepared to indicate the seismotectonic-geologic hazards of Iran. It contains the earthquake hazards parameters such as b value and Mmax for the nineteen seismotectonic provinces. Furthermore, Moho discontinuity depth, seismogenic layer depths and seismic rates for all provinces are investigated. The majority of deformation in Iran has been concentrated in the continental crust of the country. Zagros and Alborz experience deep earthquakes that are an indication of existence of the thick-skinned tectonics. Finally, some provinces such as Piranshahr- Borojen, East Iran, Naien- Rafsanjan and East Alborz, which include main suture zones of Iran, have faced high seismic hazards. RESUMEN Palabras clave: Sismotectónica, amenazas, mapa zonal, Irán, sismicidad, terremoto.

Despite this, a considerable number of rock paintings have been discovered in Kuh-e-Donbeh, which is a mountain located to the south-west of the city of Esfahan in central Iran. The paintings can be found on the rims of seasonal water channels on this mountain. All the depictions are painted with red pigment sourced from the immediate region. The motifs depicted include zoomorphs, anthropomorphs, horse-riding scenes, and some unknown shapes, etc. A farming theme is also prevalent in the corpus. The paintings are located in five areas and, in some cases, have been subject to intense weathering. Some of the rock paintings may date to the historic period, but reliable dating is not currently possible. So, analysis of the pigments for more secure scientific dating will be required. Keywords: Iran; Kuh-e-Donbeh; rock painting; red pigment; horse-riding; geometric 1. Introduction The rock art of Iran consists of numerous petroglyphs that occur throughout the country, and many sites have been identified where pictograms can be found.

  • Drought and Desertification in Iran
    hydrology Article Drought and Desertification in Iran Iraj Emadodin *, Thorsten Reinsch and Friedhelm Taube Institute for Crop Science and Plant Breeding, Group of Grass and Forage Science/Organic Agriculture, Hermann-Rodewald-Straße 9, 24118 Kiel, Germany * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +49-431-880-1516 Received: 1 April 2019; Accepted: 5 August 2019; Published: 7 August 2019 Abstract: Iran has different climatic and geographical zones (mountainous and desert areas), mostly arid and semi-arid, which are suffering from land degradation. Desertification as a land degradation process in Iran is created by natural and anthropogenic driving forces. Meteorological drought is a major natural driving force of desertification and occurs due to the extended periods of low precipitation. Scarcity of water, as well as the excessive use of water resources, mainly for agriculture, creates negative water balances and changes in plant cover, and accelerates desertification. Despite various political measures having been taken in the past, desertification is still a serious environmental problem in many regions in Iran. In this study, drought and aridity indices derived from long-term temperature and precipitation data were used in order to show long-term drought occurrence in different climatic zones in Iran. The results indicated the occurrence of severe and extremely severe meteorological droughts in recent decades in the areas studied. Moreover, the De Martonne Aridity Index (IDM) and precipitation variability index (PVI) showed an ongoing negative trend on the basis of long-term data and the conducted regression analysis. Rapid population growth, soil salinization, and poor water resource management are also considered as the main anthropogenic drivers.

School of EAE, Monash University, Melbourne, Vic, Australia Introduction During late 2015 new discoveries of Neoproterozoic metazoans were made in the Bafq Region of Central Iran by a joint Iranian-Australian expedition, hosted by the Iranian Geological Survey and the International Geological Program Project IGCP587. Previous to the newly discovered material supposed Vendian/Ediacaran metazoans including Permoria, Beltanella, and forms similar to Dickinsonia, Spriggina and Medusites (Stocklin, 1968), a supposed medusiod - Persimedusites chahgazensis (Hahn & Pflug 1980) along with Charnia (Glaessner, 1984) had been reported, but not well documented (Fedonkin et al., 2007). The new material both questions the identity of the previously described material and adds new taxa to the list of late Precambrian metazoans previously reported, increasing the biodiversity for this region. Pervious discoveries of Precambrian metazoans in Iran The first report of possible Neoproterozoic (Infracambrian) metazoan fossils from Iran was Stocklin (1968, 1972).

Urban sprawl, which is generally attributed to horizontal and leapfrogged extension of city boundaries caused by citizen’s will to leave central urban areas and live in urban countryside. The first step for tackling this problem is the identification of sprawled places and the influential factors on sprawl in urban land. Therefore, this article analyses urban sprawl phenomenon in Qazvin city districts. Relying on relevant theoretical texts, 13 indicators are chosen among others in literature for measuring urban sprawl in Qazvin districts. These indices are localized according to the conditions of Iran and the data associated with each of them are extracted using census Downloaded from iueam.ir at 9:48 +0330 on Saturday October 2nd 2021 statistics and Geographic Information System (GIS). Then, factor analysis technique is implemented by SPSS software and the indicators are attributed to four factors.
