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 …

Eastern Turkish high plateau as a small Turkic-type orogen: Implications for post-collisional crust-forming processes in Turkic-type orogens
Post-collisional magmatism may be generated by extensive crustal melting in Tibet-type
collisional environments or by falling out of slabs from under giant subduction–accretion …

Role of the Kazerun Fault Zone in the formation and deformation of the Zagros Fold‐Thrust Belt, Iran
M Sepehr, JW Cosgrove - Tectonics, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
The Kazerun Fault is a N‐S trending fault zone, which obliquely truncates the NW‐SE
trending Zagros Fold‐Thrust Belt. This active fault zone is an ancient structural lineament …

Large-scale velocity field and strain tensor in Iran inferred from GPS measurements: new insight for the present-day deformation pattern within NE Iran
A network of 26 GPS sites was implemented in Iran and Northern Oman to measure
displacements in this part of the Arabia-Eurasia collision zone. We present the GPS velocity …
