Timing of uplift in the Zagros belt/Iranian plateau and accommodation of late Cenozoic Arabia–Eurasia convergence
F Mouthereau - Geological Magazine, 2011 - cambridge.org
The motion of Arabia was stable with respect to Eurasia over the past 22 Ma. Deformation

3-D lithospheric structure and regional/residual Bouguer anomalies in the Arabia—Eurasia collision (Iran)
The aim of this work is to propose a first-order estimate of the crustal and lithospheric mantle
geometry of the Arabia-Eurasia collision zone and to separate the measured Bouguer …

Structural control on volcanism in intraplate post collisional settings: Late Cenozoic to Quaternary examples of Iran and Eastern Turkey
Volcanic activity focuses along plate boundaries. However, large volcanoes are also found
in intraplate settings. For these volcanoes, geodynamic processes responsible for magma …
