Sedimentary Facies, Architectural Elements and Trace Fossils of Kashkan Formation, Folded Zagros Zone in SW Iran [PDF]

Journal of Sciences, Islamic Republic of Iran, 2011
The Kashkan Formation (Paleocene to Middle Eocene), consists of conglomerate, sandstone, and siltstone in the Zagros Folded zone, southwest Iran. Type of the sedimentary facies, architectural elements and trace fossils show that Kashkan deposits were ...

Explainable, Uncertainty‐Aware Machine Learning for Maize Land Suitability and Climate Resilience in Lorestan Province, Western Iran

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Maize (Zea mays L.) is strategically important in Iran, yet its cultivation in the semi‐arid Zagros is constrained by limited and variable water, heat stress and heterogeneous soils, while conventional suitability assessments are deterministic, rarely validated spatially and provide no measure of confidence.

Through the Sands of Time: Evolutionary History and Systematics of the Awl‐Headed Snakes (Colubridae: Lytorhynchus) in the Saharo‐Sindian Region

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The psammophilous colubrid genus Lytorhynchus is widely distributed in the deserts of the Saharo‐Sindian region and adjacent areas. The taxonomy of the genus and the number of recognised species have remained unstable since the last taxonomic revision in 1970, with differing views on the taxonomic status of L. gaddi and L. kennedyi.

An enhancement in the petrophysical evaluation in a vuggy carbonate gas reservoir by integrating the core data and empirical methods, Zagros basin, south of Iran

Journal of Asian Earth Sciences: X
The presence of vuggy pore types poses challenges in accurately assessing effective porosity. This study focuses on the significant scientific issue of improving petrophysical evaluation in vuggy carbonate gas reservoirs.

Squills vs. Hyacinths – A revised genus delimitation in Hyacinthinae (Hyacintheae, Scilloideae, Asparagaceae) based on phylogenomics

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Scilla s.l. (Asparagaceae: Scilloideae) represents a notable Mediterranean geophyte radiation, yet genus delimitation in subtribe Hyacinthinae has long suffered from inconsistent and conflicting generic concepts. A limited set of informative morphological characters and recurrent shifts in circumscription have repeatedly hindered progress ...

Full‐Waveform Seismic Tomography of the Upper Mantle Beneath the Arabia‐Eurasia Collision Zone

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Despite being one of the most recent major orogenic events, the timing of the Arabia‐Eurasia collision is still debated. Much of the discrepancy arises due to uncertainties over the amount of continental subduction of the Arabian passive margin and the timing of a hard collision of cratonic Arabian lithosphere with Eurasia.

The effect of cardinal directions on growth features and demographic changes of oak leaf-roller moth Tortrix viridana L. (Lep.: Tortricidae) in Ghabr-e-Hosein forests, Piranshahr [PDF]

مجله جنگل ایران, 2017
The oak leaf-roller moth (Tortrix viridana L.) damages the Zagros forests greatly by feeding upon leaves and sprouts of different species. The current study was carried out in 2015 in order to investigate the influence of cardinal directions on quantity ...

Diagenetic controls on porosity evolution and pore type organisation in microporous carbonate rocks: Evidence for mesogenetic porosity formation

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 6, Page 2353-2380, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Microporous carbonate rocks typically record complex diagenetic histories driven by microbial activity and fluid interactions within multiple diagenetic environments. The relative roles of meteoric and burial diagenetic processes in pore evolution remain debated, particularly within Cretaceous carbonate systems of the Middle East, as does the ...

Effect of spatial pattern of trees on efficiency of distance and plot sampling methods in Zagros woodlands [PDF]

مجله جنگل ایران, 2017
The spatial pattern of trees is one of the structural characteristics of forest stands that affects the efficiency of sampling methods. This study aimed at investigating the effect of spatial distribution of trees on the efficiency of distance and plot ...

Aseismic Slip Along the Evaporite‐Rich Strike‐Slip Katouna‐Stamna Fault in Greece

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Aseismic slip has been observed on many active faults globally, but its controlling mechanisms remain unclear. This study focuses on the NW‐striking, left‐lateral Katouna‐Stamna Fault in Western Greece. We use InSAR surface deformation measurements to confirm the presence of aseismic slip and compare this behavior with structural evidence from
