Introduction
My research interests are primarily focused upon land surface processes, and the impact that climate change and anthropogenic activity are having upon these processes today, and have had in the past, and may have in the future. With respect to the future I hope to investigate and be involved in the development of sustainable ecosystems, and develop programs of ongoing nature conservation using interdisciplinary studies through collaboration with others in complimentary fields of study

The biogeomorphology of nebkha dunes, was investigated in the Fahraj Plain, which is located in southern part of the Lut Plain in southeastern Iran. Field investigations were performed to determine nature of nebkha dunes, whose genesis and growth involves the trapping of aeolian sand within the body of a plant. This study demonstrated that Tamarix,...
Chapter 9 explores cases of geotourism (abiotic nature-based tourism) in four middle east countries (Saudi Arabia, Oman, Jordan and Iran). The chapter seeks to review the pertinent literature on geotourism studies in the Middle East by investigating the conceptual and historical backgrounds of geotourism development in the region. The study reports...
ry climate, poor vegetation and relatively smooth surface and neighborhood with plain Lute are the most important factors that brought about wind erosion processes prevail in the Kerman region. Obviously, wind erosion rate and volume of material transfer depends on characteristics of speed and direction also frequency of wind as well as surface and...

Abstract
1- Introduction
More than two thirds of Iran located at the arid and semi arid areas. Deficit of precipitation, reduced biodiversity and low density of vegetation. Poor vegetation allows to the wind to easily erode the soils and removes surface soil, from source areas and move to other places. In wind erosion we can recognize tree zones,...
Abstract:
Rafsanjan plain, as a tectonic basin, is located in SE Iran. There are 27 major alluvial fans at the northern and southern perimeters of this plain. In this paper, several characteristics of the fans, such as radial length, surface area, and average slope of the fans, as well as, the extent, slop and stream number of the mainstream feedi...
We are calling upon all those people who understand the importance of qanat systems in sustaining natural ecosystems and maintaining the life ways and economies of the people of the arid regions of the Middle East to return life to the qanat systems of the deserts, and educate those people who persist in drilling deep wells and pumping the groundwa...

face which displays badlands features slopes gently towards the north and is about 105 km in length and its average width is about 2km. Piping badland have progressively been evolved from the north towards the south. To study morphological variations, three sites were selected. In every site the diameters and depths of 61 depressions and their rati...
Introduction of Geo tourism attractions in Kerman province, Iran
It is believed that low chemical weathering in the desert has made it suitable for preservation and concentration of meteorites. The dry and warm climate causes low chemical weathering in the Lut Desert. But the effects of salt and temperature fluctuations, however, are the main culprits for physical fragmentation and reshaping the meteorites. The...
The comparison of geomorphologic evidences of Gorgan and Neka Rivers near their estuary point into the Caspian Sea represents different channel down cutting and depositional sequence, so that Neka River shows a deeper down cutting near the estuary point, this research is seeking the reason of the difference. As a result, the marine terraces were us...
Introduction
In order to study the development of mountainous areas, researchers try to determine the snow-lines in glacial and interglacial periods. Bidkhan mountain is located in the southeastern part of the central Iranian volcanic belt (i.e. Sahand-Bazman zone) in 29˚ 35 to 29˚ 40 northern latitudes and 56 ˚ 25 to 56˚ 30 eastern longitudes. Gl...

Bidkhan Mountain that located in arid and semiarid climate in southeastern part of the central Iranian volcanic belt has several congenital features without any comprehensive study on it. Glacial processes were effective in changing Bidkhan mountain morphology. Here we seek the reduce rate of temperature and snow line in the last glacial period in...
