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 …

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 …

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 …

We present a detailed stratigraphic and structural study of the Kopeh Dagh fold-and-thrust
belt in NE Iran, which is an investigation of the complex polyphased tectonic history of this …

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 …

A network of 54 survey GPS sites, 28 continuous GPS stations and three absolute gravity
(AG) observation sites have been set up in the Alborz mountain range to quantify the present …

New offset determinations for right-lateral strike-slip faults in Iran revise the kinematics of the
Arabia–Eurasia collision, by indicating along-strike lengthening of the collision zone before …

We analyze new GPS data spanning 11 years at 92 stations in eastern Iran. We use these
data to analyze the present‐day kinematics and the slip rates on most seismogenic faults in …

The Zagros fold-thrust belt in the Kurdistan region of Iraq encroached southward toward a
rapidly subsiding Neogene foreland basin and was later partitioned by out-of-sequence …

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 …
