The present kinematics in the eastern Mediterranean and Middle East is now well
constrained by GPS measurements and dominated by a circular counterclockwise motion …

We present a new global model of plate motions and strain rates in plate boundary zones
constrained by horizontal geodetic velocities. This Global Strain Rate Model (GSRM v. 2.1) …

The GPS‐derived velocity field (1988–2005) for the zone of interaction of the Arabian,
African (Nubian, Somalian), and Eurasian plates indicates counterclockwise rotation of a …

Most of the known large gold deposits in Iran are located along the Sanandaj–Sirjan Zone,
western Iran, which hosts a wide range of gold deposit types. Gold deposits in the belt …

The Zagros Mountains were formed by convergence between Eurasia and Africa/Arabia.
Compared to the wealth of recent studies on the external Zagros fold and thrust belt, the …

Most of the developed groundwater basins in Iran are subject to land subsidence hazards
resulting from the over-extraction of groundwater. Several areas in Tehran, the capital city …

A poorly understood lag time of 15–20 my exists between the initial Arabia-Eurasia
continental collision in late Eocene to early Oligocene time and the acceleration of tectonic …

This study characterizes land subsidence in southwest plain of Tehran using numerical
modeling and predicts the trend through 2018. Excessive groundwater withdrawal has …

We present the most extensive and up-to-date unified GPS velocity field for Iran. We
processed the data collected during 10 yr (2006–2015) from the Iranian Permanent GNSS …

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 …
