Abstract The Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic successions of the Zagros Fold and Thrust
Belt (ZFTB) of Iran are endowed with prolific petroleum systems. The Sarchahan―Dalan …

The Arabia–Eurasia collision zone in the central part of the Alpine–Himalayan orogenic
system has had a complex deformation history since the Palaeozoic. In Iran, the collision …

Jurassic igneous bodies of the Sanandaj–Sirjan zone (SaSZ) in SW Iran are generally
considered as a magmatic arc but critical evaluation of modern geochronology …

Neoproterozoic to Cambrian isolation of Laurentia during the breakup of Rodinia was
associated with multiple large igneous provinces, protracted multiphase rifting, and variable …

The main objectives of this research are to assess groundwater, a primary source of drinking
water in the urban areas of Hawler (Erbil) and Bnaslawa in northern Iraq, and the non …

Cenozoic exhumation patterns in the internal and external Zagros reveal a long‐term
deformation record associated with geodynamic restructuring of Arabia‐Eurasia collisional …

In accretionary convergent margins, the subduction interface is formed by a lower plate
décollement above which sediments are scraped off and incorporated into the accretionary …

The Laramide foreland belt comprises a broad region of thick-skinned, contractional
deformation characterized by an anastomosing network of basement-cored arches and …

The findings of this study are considered to be of great importance given their singularity in
northeastern (NE) Iraq, as the first broader study that discusses various paleoenviromental …

It is important to understand the Jurassic tectonic setting of SW Eurasia, and the igneous
rocks of the Sanandaj-Sirjan zone in SW Iran provide critical evidence. Bimodal volcanic …
