Afghanistan comprises a collage of many lithotectonic domains sutured together as block terranes on the southern Eurasian Plate by collisional tectonics throughout Proterozoic and Phanerozoic. Kabul basement rocks are fragments an Archaean stabilized in early Precambrian with two later metamorphic events correlating well global-scale orogenies related to assembly Paleoproterozoic Columbia Neoproterozoic Rodinia supercontinents. These were followed igneous episodes production multiple...
Abstract On June 21st, a Mw6.2 earthquake struck the Afghan‐Pakistan‐border‐region, situated within India‐Asia collision. Thousand thirty‐nine deaths were reported, making deadliest of 2022. We investigate event's rupture processes by combining seismological and geodetic observations, aiming to understand what made it that fatal. Our Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar‐constrained slip‐model regional moment‐tensor inversion, confirmed through field reveal sinistral with maximum slip 1.8...
Abstract Population growth, climate change, and a lack of infrastructure have contributed to an increase in water demand groundwater exploitation urban rural Afghanistan, resulting significant ground subsidence. Based on 7‐year‐long Sentinel‐1 radar‐interferometric time‐series (2015–2022), we assess country‐wide subsidence rates. Of particular focus are Kabul the growing agricultural sector Ghazni. In Kabul, compare spatiotemporal patterns table heights precipitation amounts. Ghazni,...
Population growth, climate change, and a lack of infrastructure have increased water demand groundwater exploitation in urban rural Afghanistan, resulting significant ground subsidence various regions. Using Sentinel-1 radar-interferometric time-series data based on over 7-years (2015-2022), we assess country-wide Afghan rates for levels, precipitation, changes irrigation practices. Urban Kabul city the growing agricultural sector Ghazni provinces are particular focus. In city,...
Aynak is the largest known copper deposit in Afghanistan, with indicated resources of 240 Mt grading 2.3% Cu placing it 'giant' category. Host rocks are Neoproterozoic metasediments comprising dolomitic marble, carbonaceous quartz schist and quartz-biotite-dolomite containing garnet, scapolite apatite. Chalcopyrite bornite dominate hypogene ore lesser pyrite, pyrrhotite, cobaltite chalcocite, rare sphalerite, molybdenite, uraninite barite. Sulphides occur as bedding-parallel laminae,...
On June 21th, a Mw6.2 earthquake struck the Afghan-Pakistan-border-region, an area dominated by partitioned deformation related to India-Asia collision. Despite its moderate size, 1150 deaths were reported, making event deadliest of 2022 so far. We investigate event’s rupture processes, aiming understand what made it that fatal. Our InSAR-constrained slip model and regional moment-tensor inversion reveal sinistral with maximum 1.8 m at 5 km depth on N20°E striking,...
Abstract Afghanistan has some of the most complex and diverse geology in world. The oldest rocks are Archean age, which succeeded by from Proterozoic every Phanerozoic system up to present day. country also a long complicated tectonic history, partly related its position at western end Himalayas. above geological foundation resulted significant mineral resources with over 1,400 deposits occurrences recorded date. issue rich mineral-resource base recent years become point vigorous discussion...
Abstract The advancements in science, engineering and technologies during the last few centuries have enormously promoted development of education many parts world. Such educational has consequently improved quality life brought prosperity to these areas. However, not every part world benefited from such development, especially areas which been affected by wars instabilities where standard at same rate vast majority less developed countries adopt either US or European style without careful...
