The Zagros Mountains are the result of the Arabia/Eurasia collision initiated at~ 35Ma as the
rifted Arabian lithosphere was underthrusted beneath the Iranian plate due to its negative …

Aesthetically appealing thrust systems and related large-scale anticlines, in both active and
fossil foreland fold-and-thrust belts, and the economic potential associated with them, have …

This paper presents a synthetic view of the geodynamic evolution of the Zagros orogen
within the frame of the Arabia–Eurasia collision. The Zagros orogen and the Iranian plateau …

Despite the significance of groundwater to the hydrological cycle and as a source of potable
water, very little information exists on microplastics (MPs) in this environment. In the present …

Neotectonics is a major factor controlling landform development in tectonically active
regions, and it has significantly affected fluvial systems and mountain-front landscapes in the …

We present five generalized cross sections across the central Zagros fold‐and‐thrust belt
(Iran). These sections show that the fold geometry varies significantly both horizontally and …

We compare the geologic histories, the deep structures, and the present‐day kinematics of
deformation of the Himalaya and the adjacent Tibetan Plateau with those of the Zagros and …

Mesoscale deformation in fold-thrust belts and foreland areas occurs during the interaction
of evolving stress regimes and mechanical stratigraphy, leading to a progressive …

We describe how thin‐skinned/thick‐skinned deformation in the Zagros Folded Belt
interacted in time and space. Homogeneous fold wavelengths (15.8±5.3 km), tectono …

The regionally extensive, coarse-grained Bakhtiyari Formation represents the youngest
synorogenic fill in the Zagros foreland basin of Iran. The Bakhtiyari is present throughout the …
