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 …

Zagros orogeny: a subduction-dominated process
This paper presents a synthetic view of the geodynamic evolution of the Zagros orogen
within the frame of the Arabia–Eurasia collision. The Zagros orogen and the Iranian plateau …

Present-day crustal deformation and plate kinematics in the Middle East constrained by GPS measurements in Iran and northern Oman
A network of 27 GPS sites was implemented in Iran and northern Oman to measure
displacements in this part of the Alpine–Himalayan mountain belt. We present and interpret …

Late Cenozoic reorganization of the Arabia‐Eurasia collision and the comparison of short‐term and long‐term deformation rates
The Arabia‐Eurasia collision deforms an area of∼ 3,000,000 km2 of continental crust,
making it one of the largest regions of convergent deformation on Earth. There are now …

Arabia-Eurasia continental collision: Insights from late Tertiary foreland-basin evolution in the Alborz Mountains, northern Iran
A poorly understood lag time of 15–20 my exists between the initial Arabia-Eurasia
continental collision in late Eocene to early Oligocene time and the acceleration of tectonic …

[HTML][HTML] Opening of the Neo-Tethys Ocean and the Pangea B to Pangea A transformation during the Permian
We studied the stratigraphy, composition, and paleomagnetic properties of lateritic
weathering profiles of Permian age from northern Iran and western Karakoram, Pakistan. A …

High‐resolution lithospheric structure of the Zagros collision zone and Iranian Plateau
From a joint analysis of fundamental mode Rayleigh wave group velocities and P‐wave
receiver functions, we derive a new, high‐resolution 3D shear‐wave velocity (Vs) model for …

Insights from the Talysh of Azerbaijan into the Paleogene evolution of the South Caspian region
SJ Vincent, MB Allen… - Geological …, 2005 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
The age and mode of formation of the South Caspian Basin are disputed. An∼ 10-km-thick,
predominantly middle Eocene clastic and volcanic succession is exposed in the Talysh …

Active transtension inside central Alborz: A new insight into northern Iran–southern Caspian geodynamics
The tectonic activity in the Alborz mountain range, northern Iran, is due both to the northward
convergence of central Iran toward Eurasia, and to the northwestward motion of the South …
