Differences in particle size through downstream is a proper tool to understand evolution steps and river channel morphological changes, including sediment transport, channel migration context, the risk of floods and human activities. The present study investigated sediment deposits in upper rangelands of Tehran- Qazvin highway located in Khur-Sefidarak Basin, Tehran Province. Two main channels with Gravelly- sand bed as the main drainage channels were studied. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in particle size based upon sedimentology and its correlation with textural parameters including sorting, skewness, and kurtosis and calculating the approximate volume of sediments behind dams. These parameters were analyzed by sampling 66 samples from upstream to the downstream side of the Khor-Sefidarak channels. All natural factors (secondary branches and sediment sources) and non-natural factors (such as small dams) were effective in tissue changes on this system and the results indicated the continuity of sediment along the channels due to regular gradient of channel bed. Sediment particles through these two channels had a medium sorting. Sorting decreased toward downstream, because of facing secondary branches and increment of shared formation number and totally increased diversity in sediments. Results of bed sediment volume showed that the amounts of bed load sediment through Khor and Sefidarak branches were 271.6 and 246.3 cubic meters per year, respectively.

Source identification of sand dunes is of particular importance in projects of wind erosion control. In this study, the map of geomorphology and inventory map of sand dunes were prepared for five regions of Baluchestan under wind erosion using aerial photos, satellite images and Arc-View and Arc-GIS soft wares. Then, 28 samples were collected based on the form of sand dunes and geomorphological facies. The samples were analyzed for Granulometry, morphoscopy and mineralogy in the laboratory. Granulometric analysis was performed using dry–sieving technique and the curves and statistics were drawn and calculated using Gradistat software. The morphoscopic and mineralogic investigation were performed using binocular microscope. Granulometric analyses show that the sediments are well sorted, having better sorting than fluvial sediments, with standard deviation of less than 0.5. Morphoscopic analyses mostly show the effect of Aeolian transport on the grains. Mineralogical studies show that the most abundant particles in the sediments are rock fragments consisting of limestone, quartzite and granodiorite (%84), and the rest are minerals such as quartz, feldspat and calcite. About 94.5 percent of the particles have been transported in saltation. The results of differentiation of sediments according to sedimentary processes indicate that about %71.43 of sediments are transported and deposited by Aeolian processes, %21.42 by fluvial processes and %7.15 by overlapping of Aeolian and fluvial processes.
