We present a detailed stratigraphic and structural study of the Kopeh Dagh fold-and-thrust
belt in NE Iran, which is an investigation of the complex polyphased tectonic history of this …

From a joint analysis of fundamental mode Rayleigh wave group velocities and P‐wave
receiver functions, we derive a new, high‐resolution 3D shear‐wave velocity (Vs) model for …

Field evidence, seismicity, and geodetic data are combined to define the tectonic evolution
along the northern domain of the Western and Central Alborz ranges, which have …

Iran is a resource-rich country, with large deposits of iron, copper, zinc, and gold, as well as
industrial minerals and oil and gas. Most of these resources were formed in response to …

Earthquakes have a greater effect on society than most people think. These effects range
from structural damages to economic impacts and fatalities. An earthquake only lasts for a …

Volcanic activity focuses along plate boundaries. However, large volcanoes are also found
in intraplate settings. For these volcanoes, geodynamic processes responsible for magma …

Using gravity, geoid, topography and surface heat flow data, we have modeled the density
and temperature distribution in the lithosphere along three profiles crossing Iran in SW‐NE …

Summary The Alborz Mountains of northern Iran form a belt of active crustal deformation
along the southern side of the Caspian Sea within the broad Arabian–Eurasia continental …

This study reviews the history of seismometry in Iran and specifically the evolution of Iranian
Seismological Center's (IRSC) seismic network and investigates the artifacts and systematic …

The Iranian plate is part of the Alpine-Himalayan orogenic belt, which has been formed by
the continental collision between the Arabian and Eurasian plates. The present-day Iranian …
