The megacity of Tehran, the capital of Iran, is subjected to a high earthquake risk. Located at
the central part of the Alpine–Himalayan seismic belt, Tehran is surrounded by several …

Iran is located in a seismic prone zone along the Alpine-Himalayan orogenic belt. The
country has been affected by many devastating earthquakes during its history, including Sar …

Qazvin plain as one of the important plains in northwest Iran in terms of industrial and
agricultural activities, reveals evidence of land subsidence in the last decade. We used a …

Estimating the potential for the occurrence of large earthquakes on slow-slip-rate faults in
continental interiors, away from plate boundaries, is possible only if the long-term geological …

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 …

Recent deformations in the area studied control structural expansions influenced by tectonic
activities, causing transformations of geologic features and morphological landforms. The …

This study summarizes the state-of-the-art investigation into active-seismogenic faulting in
the Tehran Region, and presents new complementary data to provide an overall view on …

In this paper, the long‐term crustal flow of the Iranian Plateau is computed using a kinematic
finite‐element model (NeoKinema software). Based on the iterated weighted least squares …

A probabilistic seismic risk assessment is conducted in this study to quantify Annualized
Earthquake Loss (AEL) of Tehran, the capital of Iran. To do so, a comprehensive review of …

The Alborz mountain range in northern Iran is part of the active and seismic Alpide belt,
where assessing seismic hazards is crucial due to the region's history of large instrumental …
