In this research, remote sensing and aeromagnetic data sets were integrated to investigate structural features and alteration zones of Rashid-Abad mining area. This area is located approximately 45 km north of Zanjan, in the Alborz (western)-Azerbijan zone, NW Iran. For this reason, two main lineaments with the E-W and NW-SE trends were detected using a […]
The Mesoproterozoic North Delhi Fold Belt (NDFB) represents the northeastern limit of the Aravalli – Delhi Fold Belt in the NW Indian craton. The mafic metavolcanic rocks from the Tehla – Pandupol region of the Raialo Group were investigated from the southern part of the Alwar sub-basin of NDFB. In this preliminary study, we present […]
The Late Paleocene Patala Formation shales exposed at Tarkhobi Nala, Kohat Basin, Pakistan were geochemically studied in detail for hydrocarbon evaluation. A total of 09 shale samples of the studied formation were analyzed in G & R Labs, Oil & Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL), Islamabad, Pakistan for TOC and Rock-Eval pyrolysis. The TOC results […]
Khunik gold prospecting area is located in the eastern part of Lut block, eastern Iran. Main rock units are andesite, agglomerate, latite, dacitic lava, rhyodacite, volcanic breccia and conglomerate. Geological and geochemical evidences indicate low to medium sulfide gold mineralization. Mining activates accumulate heavy metals in soil and water that are associated with harmful effects […]
Mikkes River Basin is located in the north-center of the Kingdom of Morocco (North-West of Africa). It comprises of three different zones which represent diversified geologies and which shelter a phreatic and confined aquifer in Saïs plain and a shallow aquifer in El Hajeb Ifrane Tabular. This research aims to highlight the potential impact of […]
This study is to investigate the physico-chemical parameters and trace metal’s concentrations (Cd, Pb, Cu, and Zn) in water and surficial sediments (0-5 cm) samples in the Kebir-Rhumel Wadi, north-eastern Algeria. Trace metal concentrations was determined using flame atomic absorption spectroscopy. The mean values of the physico-chemical parameters of the Wadi water samples are consistently […]
The skarn type mineralization has long been accepted as an interaction of magma and the host carbonate rocks. Most researchers have considered the iron deposits in the northern Sanandaj Sirjan zone (Kurdistan area) as skarn-type mineralization which has been generated during the injection of the granitoid bodies into the host carbonate. The calculation of normative […]
In this research, the biostratigraphy, microfacies, and depositional environment of carbonate sediments of the Jahrum Formation will be investigated based on microscopic textures and the distribution of benthic foraminifera. The Jahrum Formation was measured from Kuh-e-Hamze Ali in the Chaharmahal Bakhtiari province (Zagros Basin, Iran). The biostratigraphic analysis of this formation has led to the […]
This study investigates the concentration, potential of toxicity, and source rocks of seven toxic elements (As, Cd, Cu, Cr, Pb, Zn, and Ni) in the sediments of four salt domes on the north of Hormuz Strait (Hormuz, Pol, Gachin and Angouran). In this regard, to determine the origin of toxic elements in the sediments of […]
Among several distribution characteristics, temporal distribution characteristics of earthquakes provide the most crucial information on the temporal patterns of past seismicity. Identification of such patterns is required for seismic hazard, forecast studies and also simulation of future seismicity. The confusion of how to model the past temporal patterns does limit further development:. Though the Poisson […]
