The Zagros Mountains are the result of the Arabia/Eurasia collision initiated at~ 35Ma as the
rifted Arabian lithosphere was underthrusted beneath the Iranian plate due to its negative …

Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

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 …

The Zagros fold-thrust belt in Iran forms the external part of the Zagros active orogenic
wedge. It includes a sequence of heterogeneous latest Neoproterozoic–Phanerozoic …

The Arabia‐Eurasia collision deforms an area of∼ 3,000,000 km2 of continental crust,
making it one of the largest regions of convergent deformation on Earth. There are now …

The Zagros Mountains were formed by convergence between Eurasia and Africa/Arabia.
Compared to the wealth of recent studies on the external Zagros fold and thrust belt, the …

Defining the structural style of fold–thrust belts and understanding the controlling factors are
necessary steps towards prediction of their long-term and short-term dynamics, including …

Neotectonics is a major factor controlling landform development in tectonically active
regions, and it has significantly affected fluvial systems and mountain-front landscapes in the …

We present five generalized cross sections across the central Zagros fold‐and‐thrust belt
(Iran). These sections show that the fold geometry varies significantly both horizontally and …

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 …
