Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Cenozoic evolution of Neotethys and implications for the causes of plate motions [PDF]

, 2003
Africa-North America-Eurasia plate circuit rotations, combined with Red Sea rotations and new estimates of crustal shortening in Iran define the Cenozoic history of the Neotethyan ocean between Arabia and Eurasia. The new constraints indicate that Arabia-

The Euphrates-Tigris-Karun river system: Provenance, recycling and dispersal of quartz-poor foreland-basin sediments in arid climate [PDF]

, 2016
We present a detailed sediment-provenance study on the modern Euphrates-Tigris-Karun fluvial system and Mesopotamian foreland basin, one of the cradles of humanity. Our rich petrographic and heavy-mineral dataset, integrated by sand geochemistry and U–Pb

Genetic Diversity, Population Structure, and Environmental Influences in Nepeta glomerulosa: Implications for Conservation in the Irano‐Turanian Region

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Nepeta glomerulosa shows moderate genetic diversity with three main clusters and significant admixture, highest in the Alborz Mountains, suggesting it may be the center of origin. High genetic differentiation (Gst = 0.4199) points to limited gene flow and possible self‐pollination, with geographic isolation shaping population structure.

New Insights Into the Biogeography of Six Garra Species (Teleostei: Cyprinidae) in the Persian Gulf Basin

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We present data and inferences supporting the case for post‐LGM secondary contact between eastern and western G. rufa populations that became isolated by post‐Pleistocene sea level rise of the Persian Gulf. We suggest river capture as a probable mechanism explaining secondary dispersal of Garra rufa populations from eastern to western river drainages ...

A late Pleistocene long pollen record from Lake Urmia, NW Iran [PDF]

, 2008
A palynological study based on two 100-m long cores from Lake Urmia in northwestern Iran provides a vegetation record spanning 200 ka, the longest pollen record for the continental interior of the Near East.

Deciphering Asynchronous Teleconnections: How Dynamic Time Warping Reveals the Hidden Drivers of Iranian Drought

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Identifying robust precursors for seasonal drought is a central challenge in Earth system science, traditionally approached with linear methods that often fail to capture the complex, asynchronous nature of teleconnections. These methods, by assuming fixed‐phase relationships, can overlook or misrepresent crucial climate drivers.

Diagenetic factors controlling reservoir quality in the Faraghan Formation (Lower Permian), Darang Field, Southern Iran [PDF]

, 2011
The role of diagenesis in affecting (reduction or enhancement) reservoir quality in the Faraghan Formation in Darang #1 well was investigated. The Faraghan Formation is mainly composed of sandstone facies along with minor mudstone and siltstone and ...

Formation and Deformation of a Short‐Lived and Immature Continental Back‐Arc Basin in Southeastern Tibet

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Comprehension of the ophiolitic mélange plays a key role in the tectonic reconstruction of an ancient orogenic belt in terms of plate tectonics. The tectonic nature of the NNW‐trending southern Jinshajiang ophiolitic mélange is still controversial.
