In this research granolumetric, mineralogic and morphoscopic characteristics of sand dune sediments for analyzing the genetic relationship between sand dunes and their source areas are presented. The research method consists of preparing general geomorphologic map of the area, analyzing wind data, investigating questionaries related to the winds in the area, sampling sand dunes and different facies of source areas, granolumetric analysis, preparation of granolumetric curves and determination of sedimentological indices as well as mineralogical and morphoscopic investigations. The results have shown that the main wind direction is northwest and sand dunes are mainly of barchan type. The presence of different Neogene sedimentary rocks in the upland drainage basin (Kaskin drainage basin) and their susceptibility to erosion show their potential in producing sand grains as primary source of aeolian sediments. These are eroded and the materials are transported and deposited as alluvial fans and terraces and floodplains in the area which are now under wind erosion.}, keywords = {sand dunes,Iranshahr,Sistan and Baluchestan,source study,mineralogy,Granolumetry}, title_fa = {نقش ویژگی‌های بافتی و کانی‌شناسی رسوب ها در منشاء‌یابی تپه‌های ماسه‌ای (مطالعه موردی: غرب ایرانشهر)}, abstract_fa = {}, keywords_fa = {تپه‌های ‌ماسه‌ای,ایرانشهر,سیستان و بلوچستان,منشاء‌یابی,کانی‌شناسی,شکل‌شناسی,دانه‌بندی}, url = {https://ijnr.ut.ac.ir/article_27881.html}, eprint = {https://ijnr.ut.ac.ir/article_27881_4336e86ad5c6eb09b6c730d14cf0d86b.pdf} }
