  1. 1. Investigation of Thermal Maturity of  Organic Matter at the Cambro Ordovician Transition in the Zagros Basin, Iran

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Niall Gibbons; [2021]
    Keywords : acritarchs; thermal maturity; Zagros Basin; hydrocarbons; source rocks; paleoenvironment;

    Abstract : The thermal maturity of sediments from the upper Cambrian to lower Ordovician Mila and Ilbeyk  formations in the Zagros Basin in southwestern Iran is evaluated in this thesis. A number of low-cost,  fast, optical evaluation methods are utilised to assess their effectiveness for providing accurate, well  constrained thermal maturity results. READ MORE

  2. 2. "WE ARE FIGHTING A WATER WAR" : The Character of the Upstream States and Post-Treaty Transboundary Water Conflict in Afghanistan and India

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för freds- och konfliktforskning

    Keywords : Post-Treaty Transboundary Water Conflict; Transboundary Water Treaty; Indus River Basin; Helmand River Basin; Afghanistan; Iran; India; Pakistan; Upstream; Downstream.;

    Abstract : Transboundary water treaties are often expected to prevent conflicts over waters from shared rivers. However, empirical evidence shows that some upstream countries continue to experience conflict after signing a water treaty. READ MORE

  3. 3. Exploring Spatiotemporal Relationships between InSAR-derived Land Subsidence and Satellite-based Hydrological Variables

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Yixin Zhang; [2021]
    Keywords : InSAR; Shabestar; subsidence; groundwater; hydrological variables; LSTM; Sentinel-1A; Geomatics; Technology and Engineering; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Shabestar basin in the East Azerbaijan province, Northwest Iran, where irrigation is the main groundwater consumer, has experienced large-scale subsidence and groundwater deletion, which poses a threat to the local agricultural activities, economic development, and food security. With the emergency of mitigating the risk, satisfying future demand for groundwater, and improving resilience considering climate change, this study proposes a satellite-based approach to explore the spatio-temporal relationships between measured subsidence and hydrological variables in the basin to assist groundwater management strategy.

  5. 5. Understanding discourses on technological interventions to tackle soil salinity : a case study from Khuzestan, Iran

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Author : Berangere Gramaccioni; [2020]
    Keywords : soil salinity; leaching; irrigation; irrigation management; technological development; critical discourse analysis;

    Abstract : Soil salinity is an environmental hazard in arid and semi-arid regions in the world, diminishing crops growth and, hence, affecting agricultural production. One scientifically accepted solution to contrast the problem is the practice of leaching, consisting in the application of an extra amount of water, in addition to that used for irrigation, which can remove salts from the root zone, washed away through drainage.
