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 …

SE Iran is the site of a rare case of young transition between subduction and collision. We
have synthesized recent results in geodesy, tectonics, seismology and magnetism to help …

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 …

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 present a synthesis of recently conducted tectonic, global positioning system (GPS),
geomorphological and seismic studies to describe the kinematics of the Zagros mountain …

Great earthquakes rarely occur within active accretionary prisms, despite the intense long‐
term deformation associated with the formation of these geologic structures. This paucity of …

Imaging and resolving the lateral continuity of 3‐D crustal structures enhance our ability to
interpret seismicity and to understand how orogens are created. We apply a Bayesian …

The Makran subduction zone is one of the last convergent margins to be investigated using
space-based geodesy. While there is a lack of historical and modern instrumentation in the …

The lithosphere beneath the Zagros and central Iran has sustained long-lasting Neo-
Tethyan subduction and subsequent collisional orogenesis, leading to the complicated …

The dynamics of slab detachment and associated geological fingerprints have been inferred
from various numerical and analog models. These invariably use a setup with slab‐pull …
