Quaternary climate change in Iran – the state of knowledge
Abstract: The mostly Mediterranean climate of Iran is governed by the pressure systems of the Siberian High, the Westerly depressions and the SW Monsoon. In the past, the locations and intensities of these systems changed probably causing climate change and affecting landscape evolution in this ecologically diverse country. Recently, new evidence for Quaternary climate change in Iran has been presented. This paper briefly reviews the present state of knowledge and identifies future perspectives of paleoclimatic research in Iran. Paleoclimatic deductions have mainly been based on geomorphic evidence and, more recently, also on stratigraphical investigations including the physical dating of sediments. In northern and western Iran climate changed between dry and cold climatic conditions during the stadials and moist and warm conditions during the interglacials. Lake sediments and loess deposits also suggest moisture increases during interstadials of the Last and Penultimate Glacials. In western.... https://www.erdkunde.uni-bonn.de/article/view/2622
