In this contribution, we investigate the space and time distribution of the Cenozoic
magmatism and the associated porphyry Cu-Mo±Au and other hydrothermal (mostly …

The Arabia–Eurasia collision zone in the central part of the Alpine–Himalayan orogenic
system has had a complex deformation history since the Palaeozoic. In Iran, the collision …

The persistent debate over the timing of initial Arabia–Eurasia collision has eluded
consensus for decades, with most estimates ranging widely from~ 50 to 10 Ma along both …

Most subduction zones on Earth are oblique, ie, the angle between the plate convergence
vector and the trench notably differs from 90°. Therefore, modeling and understanding the …

Magmatic suites provide the keys to evaluate the growth and reworking of continental crust.
Late Cretaceous to Pleistocene convergence in the Urumieh–Dokhtar magmatic arc (UDMA) …

Back‐arc regions are usually punctuated by pulses of tectonic deformation, lasting for few
tens of millions of years. Yet, the origin of those short‐lived deformation episodes is …

Abstract The Zagros Collision Zone is a complex tectonic region formed as a consequence
of the collision between Arabia and Eurasia after the subduction of the Neo-Tethys ocean …

The small Quaternary volcanic district of Nowbaran (NW Iran) belongs to the Urumieh-
Dokhtar Magmatic Arc, a∼ 1800-km long NW–SE striking Cenozoic belt characterized by …

Igneous rocks in central Iran preserve proof of several episodes of Late Mesozoic–Cenozoic
Neotethyan subduction, and record temporal and spatial variations from subduction to …

Abstract Late Miocene-Quaternary adakitic rocks are widely distributed in northwestern Iran
and are a key component of magmatism in the Turkish–Iranian Plateau of the collision zone …
