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 …

The Tethyside orogen, a direct consequence of the separation of the Gondwanaland and the
accretion of Eurasia, is a huge composite orogenic system that was generated during …

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 …

We compare the geologic histories, the deep structures, and the present‐day kinematics of
deformation of the Himalaya and the adjacent Tibetan Plateau with those of the Zagros and …

The Zagros fold-and-thrust belt is amongst the world's most seismically active mountain
ranges, and is influential in our understanding of continental collisions. The presence of …

A large fraction of major intracontinental strike-slip faults, defined here as those slip** at
rates of∼ 10 mm/yr or more, lie adjacent to relatively strong regions, such as oceanic …

We use calibrated earthquake relocations to reassess the distribution and kinematics of
faulting in the Zagros range, southwestern Iran. This is among the most seismically active …

This paper shows how the Turkish‐Iranian Plateau grows laterally by incrementally
incorporating adjacent parts of the Zagros fold‐and‐thrust belt. The limit of significant …

We present a synthesis of recently conducted tectonic, global positioning system (GPS),
geomorphological and seismic studies to describe the kinematics of the Zagros mountain …

The central part of the Zagros Fold-Thrust Belt is characterized by a series of right-lateral
and left-lateral transverse tear fault systems, some of them being ornamented by salt diapirs …
