The PP-wave reflection coefficient (ie, the ratio of the amplitude of reflected P wave to the
amplitude of incident P wave) has crucial practical applications in many field scenarios, such …

Introduction: The East Iran orogen has experienced multiple buckling phases resulting in the
formation of strike-slip fault splays. The geometric and kinematic characteristics of these …

The occurrence of many seismic events in energy production projects is caused by fluid
injection-induced reactivation of critically stressed faults. The distribution of local stress …

Rotation of the sets of internally rigid blocks appears in versatile tectonic, structural, and
microstructural settings, and accommodates strain on all different spatial scales. The …

The formal stress inversions of 1258 earthquake focal mechanism solutions reveal the
presence of six distinct stress regimes. However, the predominant tectonic regimes comprise …

The opposite-sense fault block rotation across the continental strike-slip faulting plays an
important role in accommodating crustal deformation in the north of the East Iran orogen …

Abstract The Central Iranian Microcontinent (CIM) in east-central Iran is located north of the
active Arabia–Eurasia collision zone. Here, we report on the structure, deformation patterns …

The lithosphere-asthenosphere system beneath the central and eastern parts of the Iranian
Plateau is investigated using a two-plane wave surface-wave tomography. We analyzed …

In this study, we determine the stress release from the 2003 Bam earthquake (Mw 6.6) by
applying the stress inversion technique to focal mechanisms of 199 aftershocks. There is no …

We investigate the effects of far-field stresses and major crustal boundary faults in the
deviation of local stresses around the Lut Block of the southeastern Iranian plateau in the …
