Comparisons of the kinematics and deep structures of the Zagros and Himalaya and of the Iranian and Tibetan plateaus and geodynamic implications
D Hatzfeld, P Molnar - Reviews of Geophysics, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Earthquake cycle deformation and the Moho: Implications for the rheology of continental lithosphere
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 …

Near-field deformation from the El Mayor–Cucapah earthquake revealed by differential LIDAR
Large [moment magnitude (M w)≥ 7] continental earthquakes often generate complex,
multifault ruptures linked by enigmatic zones of distributed deformation. Here, we report the …

An up-to-date crustal deformation map of Iran using integrated campaign-mode and permanent GPS velocities
We present the most extensive and up-to-date unified GPS velocity field for Iran. We
