We have constructed a 3-D shear wave velocity (Vs) model for the crust and uppermost
mantle beneath the Middle East using Rayleigh wave records obtained from ambient-noise …

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 …

Abstract The Zagros Fold and Thrust Belt (ZFTB) is an outstanding orogen running from
eastern Turkey to the Makran area. It is formed as a consequence of the convergence …

The Moho depths of the United Arab Emirate (UAE) and northern Oman mountains
estimated from the gravity data assuming general local isostasy deepens from 34–38 km in …

Abstract The Oman-United Arab Emirates ophiolite has been used extensively to document
the geological processes that form oceanic crust. The geometry of the ophiolite, its extension …

Studying 3-D subsurface structure based on spatial data is an important application for
geophysical inversions. However, major limitations exist for conventional regularized …

Abstract The Neo‐Tethys subduction and subsequent Arabia‐Eurasia continental collision
invoked widespread Cenozoic tectono‐magmatism throughout the Iranian Plateau. We …

The Semail ophiolite, a thick thrust sheet of Late Cretaceous oceanic crust and upper
mantle, was obducted onto the previously rifted Arabian continental margin in the Late …

The lithosphere beneath the Zagros and central Iran has sustained long-lasting Neo-
Tethyan subduction and subsequent collisional orogenesis, leading to the complicated …

We present a new high‐resolution image of the crust beneath the western Himalaya‐Asia
convergence zone encompassing the geographical domain of western Himalaya‐western …
