Global Positioning System constraints on the active tectonics of NE Iran and the South Caspian region

Z Mousavi, A Walpersdorf, RT Walker, F Tavakoli… - Earth and Planetary …, 2013 - Elsevier
We present a velocity field compiled from a network of 27 permanent and 20 campaign GPS
stations across NE Iran. This new GPS velocity field helps to investigate how Arabia–Eurasia …

Long term fault slip rates, distributed deformation rates and forecast of seismicity in the Iranian Plateau

A Khodaverdian, H Zafarani, M Rahimian - Tectonics, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
In this paper, the long‐term crustal flow of the Iranian Plateau is computed using a kinematic
