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 …

A long-standing question in geodynamics is whether mantle flow is driven by the plate
motion alone, or mantle upwelling makes a significant contribution to it. Subducting slabs …

Understanding the crustal seismic characteristics of tectonically active regions is crucial for
seismic hazard assessment. The study conducted in NW Iran utilized surface wave …

Abstract We estimated Rayleigh-and Love-wave group-velocity dispersion curves using
dense seismic networks in Saudi Arabia and nearby countries. We merged our data with …

The spatiotemporal interaction of large‐and regional‐scale upper mantle forces can prevail
in collisional settings. To better understand the role of these forces on post‐subduction …

The tectonic evolution of the Arabia-Eurasia collision zone is enigmatic due to our poor
knowledge of the compositional structure of the Zagros keel and the sub-lithospheric mantle …

Cenozoic magmatism is present across the Iranian Plateau but, despite playing an important
role in the geodynamic evolution of the young plateau, remains poorly understood. In this …

We map the lateral variations of P-wave velocity beneath the Zagros collision zone in Iran
down to 800 km depth by regional travel time tomography. We invert 32,293 relative travel …

Abstract The Turkish-Iranian Plateau and the Zagros highlands are among the most
prominent physiographic features in the Middle East and were formed as a result of …

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 …
