PROGRADATION AND TRANSGRESSION OF SHORELINE IN THE ARVAND DELTA (IRANIAN PART) FROM THE LAST 9,000 YEARS TO PRESENT

Deltas are the most dynamic geomorphologicallandforms which simultaneously affected by the sea and land processes. Arvand delta is located in southwest of Iranand northwest of Persian Gulf. This delta due to the very low slope in foreshore during the last period of the Quaternary to the present influenced the eustatic changesof Persian Gulf and river sedimentation has experienced many changes [2-4] that from foundation – applied geomorphology point of view so far has not been studied.The aim of this study is to achieve the changes and evolution of the Arvand delta.
