Early Mesozoic magmatism and tectonic evolution of the Qinling Orogen: Implications for oblique continental collision
Abstract The Qinling Orogenic Belt in Central China is formed by an oblique continental
collision between the North China and South China Blocks. In this review, we summarize the …

Early Neogene foreland of the Zagros, implications for the initial closure of the Neo-Tethys and kinematics of crustal shortening
We study the transition from passive margin to foreland basin sedimentation now exposed in
the High Zagros belt to provide chronological constraints on the initial stage of Arabia …

Structural style and timing OF NW‐SE trending zagros folds IN SW Iran: interaction with north‐south trending arabian folds and implications for petroleum geology
The Zagros foldbelt–foreland system in SW Iran is a prolific hydrocarbon province with
known reserves of more than 90 billion brl of oil and 800 TCF of natural gas. Establishing the …

[HTML][HTML] Influence of preexisting salt diapirs during thrust wedge evolution and secondary welding: Insights from analog modeling
Salt lithologies are mechanically weaker than other sedimentary rocks. Salt horizons usually
act as décollements and precursor salt bodies preferentially deform early during contraction …

Cenozoic exhumation and foreland basin evolution of the Zagros orogen during the Arabia‐Eurasia collision, western Iran
Cenozoic exhumation patterns in the internal and external Zagros reveal a long‐term
deformation record associated with geodynamic restructuring of Arabia‐Eurasia collisional …

Permanent closure of the Tethyan Seaway in the northwestern Iranian Plateau driven by cyclic sea-level fluctuations in the late Middle Miocene
The opening and closure of marine gateways have been suggested to substantially affect
ocean current circulations and global climatic changes. In the Miocene, the closure of the …

Modeling the effects of global cooling and the Tethyan Seaway closure on North African and South Asian climates during the Middle Miocene Climate Transition
Abstract The Middle Miocene was a period of prominent climatic change, marked by the Mid-
Miocene Climatic Optimum (MMCO) and the subsequent global cooling due to a decline of …

Slab folding and surface deformation of the Iran mobile belt
Back‐arc regions are usually punctuated by pulses of tectonic deformation, lasting for few
