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 …

The Miocene-to-present kinematic evolution of the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East and its implications for dynamics

X Le Pichon, C Kreemer - Annual Review of Earth and Planetary …, 2010 - annualreviews.org
The present kinematics in the eastern Mediterranean and Middle East is now well
constrained by GPS measurements and dominated by a circular counterclockwise motion …

A geodetic plate motion and Global Strain Rate Model

C Kreemer, G Blewitt, EC Klein - Geochemistry, Geophysics …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
We present a new global model of plate motions and strain rates in plate boundary zones
constrained by horizontal geodetic velocities. This Global Strain Rate Model (GSRM v. 2.1) …

An up-to-date crustal deformation map of Iran using integrated campaign-mode and permanent GPS velocities

F Khorrami, P Vernant, F Masson… - Geophysical Journal …, 2019 - academic.oup.com
We present the most extensive and up-to-date unified GPS velocity field for Iran. We

New views on earthquake faulting in the Zagros fold-and-thrust belt of Iran

E Nissen, M Tatar, JA Jackson… - Geophysical Journal …, 2011 - academic.oup.com
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 …

Major intracontinental strike-slip faults and contrasts in lithospheric strength

P Molnar, KE Dayem - Geosphere, 2010 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
A large fraction of major intracontinental strike-slip faults, defined here as those slipping at
rates of∼ 10 mm/yr or more, lie adjacent to relatively strong regions, such as oceanic …

Seismotectonics of the Zagros (Iran) from orogen‐wide, calibrated earthquake relocations

E Karasözen, E Nissen, EA Bergman… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Present‐day kinematics and fault slip rates in eastern Iran, derived from 11 years of GPS data

A Walpersdorf, I Manighetti, Z Mousavi… - Journal of …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
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 kinematics of the Zagros mountains (Iran)

D Hatzfeld, C Authemayou… - Geological Society …, 2010 - lyellcollection.org
We present a synthesis of recently conducted tectonic, global positioning system (GPS),
geomorphological and seismic studies to describe the kinematics of the Zagros mountain …
