Abstract

What referred as the Miyankalleh Peninsula and the Gorgan Gulf in the southeast of Caspian Sea is in fact a typical BARRIER ISLAND COMPLEX consisting of following major environments: 1) open sea, 2) Miyankalleh Barrier Island, and 3) Gorgan Lagoon. The major sub environments of this barrier complex are beach sand ridges, BACK BARRIER SALT MARSH; fresh water marsh; active, semi active, and stabilized sand dunes; and puffy grounds. The relics of sea- level changing and the major sedimentary structures of this complex are: different kinds of marine and nonmarine ripple marks, some kinds of rill marks, swash & backwash, long shore currents & rip currents, mud cracks, parallel and perpendicular beach bars, many traces of faunas on the stoss slope of sand dunes, and small bays. The form and development of the Miyankalleh BARRIER ISLAND COMPLEX depend on the presence and combination of several factors such as high sands, high- energy storms, and long shore currents in a micro tidal, high amplitude wave dominated regime in a gentle slope of this beach. The KHOZINI CHANNEL, which was the way of connecting the Gorgan Lagoon to the Caspian Sea was the result of unsuccessful man made channel filled & abandoned quickly by long shore currents of the Caspian Sea. Chemical analysis and core studies of the Zaghmarz region indicate this area was part of the shallow marine Caspian Sea in the past, which subsequently occupied by non-marine sediments. The human interferences caused the intensive geomorphologic changes and converted the depositional bank to the erosional coast in the western part of studied area. This event resulted in retreating of more than 40 meters landwards of this coast and revealed an old wooden ship beneath the six meters beach sand ridges.
