Building the Zagros collisional orogen: timing, strain distribution and the dynamics of Arabia/Eurasia plate convergence
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 …

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 …

A geodetic plate motion and Global Strain Rate Model
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
We present the most extensive and up-to-date unified GPS velocity field for Iran. We
