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 …

The last 20 years has seen a dramatic improvement in the quantity and quality of geodetic
measurements of the earthquake loading cycle. In this paper we compile and review these …

The Zagros fold-and-thrust belt is amongst the world's most seismically active mountain
ranges, and is influential in our understanding of continental collisions. The presence of …

We use calibrated earthquake relocations to reassess the distribution and kinematics of
faulting in the Zagros range, southwestern Iran. This is among the most seismically active …

The motion of Arabia was stable with respect to Eurasia over the past 22 Ma. Deformation
and exhumation in the Zagros is seen to initiate at the same time as argued by new detrital …

This paper shows how the Turkish‐Iranian Plateau grows laterally by incrementally
incorporating adjacent parts of the Zagros fold‐and‐thrust belt. The limit of significant …

Abstract The 12 November 2017 M w 7.3 Ezgeleh‐Sarpolzahab earthquake is the largest
instrumentally recorded earthquake in the Zagros Simply Folded Belt by a factor of∼ 10 in …

We study the Makran subduction zone, along the southern coasts of Iran and Pakistan, to
gain insights into the kinematics and dynamics of accretionary prism deformation. By …

Whereas the vast majority of discovered hydrocarbon reserves in Iraq reside in Cretaceous
and Cenozoic reservoirs, numerous oil and gas fields have been discovered recently in …

We use interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR), body wave seismology, satellite
imagery, and field observations to constrain the fault parameters of the Mw 7.1 2011 Van …
