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 …

Miocene tectono-magmatic events and gold/poly-metal mineralizations in the Takab-Delijan belt, NW Iran
Abstract The Takab-Delijan (TD) magmatic belt in NW Iran is a part of the Zagros orogenic
belt which has imminence with epithermal, porphyry and carlin types of mineralization. This …

Present‐day kinematics and fault slip rates in eastern Iran, derived from 11 years of GPS data
We analyze new GPS data spanning 11 years at 92 stations in eastern Iran. We use these
data to analyze the present‐day kinematics and the slip rates on most seismogenic faults in …

Rheological heterogeneities control the non‐progressive uplift of the young Iranian plateau
The Iranian plateau is at the early stage of plateau development and intracontinental
deformation in response to the Arabia‐Eurasia collision. Its compressive deformation is …

Late Cenozoic volcanism and rates of active faulting in eastern Iran
Summary We present new 40Ar/39Ar ages of samples of volcanic rock exposed along the
remote margins of the Dasht-e Lut desert in eastern Iran. Close spatial relationships …

Inherited strike‐slip faults as an origin for basement‐cored uplifts: Example of the Kungey and Zailiskey ranges, northern Tian Shan
J Selander, M Oskin, C Ormukov, K Abdrakhmatov - Tectonics, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Basement‐cored uplifts bounded by steeply dip** reverse faults are mechanically difficult
to explain. Reactivation of strike‐slip faults that aid the formation of new, high‐angle reverse …

Oroclinal bending, distributed thrust and strike-slip faulting, and the accommodation of Arabia–Eurasia convergence in NE Iran since the Oligocene
Regional shortening is accommodated across NE Iran in response to the collision of Arabia
with Eurasia. We examine how N–S shortening is achieved on major thrust systems …
