Experimental modelling applied to the study of orogenic wedge dynamics has been a
subject of fruitful research for more than 30years, although the technique dates back as far …

We present a review of the analogue modelling method, which has been used for 200 years,
and continues to be used, to investigate geological phenomena and geodynamic processes …

We present the most extensive and up-to-date unified GPS velocity field for Iran. We
processed the data collected during 10 yr (2006–2015) from the Iranian Permanent GNSS …

The Zagros Mountains result from the ongoing collision between the Arabian and central
Iran plates. The main features of the eastern Zagros are (1) numerous emerged or buried …

Fold-and-thrust belts and accretionary wedges form by compression of sedimentary
sequences and basement rocks into forward and backward thrusts, folds, nappes, and …

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

We used the focal mechanisms of crustal earthquakes (depth< 40 km) in the period 1909–
2012 and the available GPS velocities, derived from the data collected between 1999 to …

Fold-and-thrust belts (FTBs) can be segmented both across and along strike because of
various factors including tectonic and stratigraphic inheritance. In this study, we investigated …

To understand the effects of substantial topographic relief on deformation localization in the
seismically active mountains, like the Longmen Shan thrust belt in the eastern Tibet …

This article focuses on how deformation and displacements are transferred between two
décollements located at different stratigraphic levels by means of analogue modeling using …
