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 evolution of the Neo-Tethys realm had a significant impact on the Phanerozoic
paleogeography of the Iran Plateau. However, there remains significant debate regarding …

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 …

A poorly understood lag time of 15–20 my exists between the initial Arabia-Eurasia
continental collision in late Eocene to early Oligocene time and the acceleration of tectonic …

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 …

We study the transition from passive margin to foreland basin sedimentation now exposed in
the High Zagros belt to provide chronological constraints on the initial stage of Arabia …

Quantified balanced and restored crustal cross-sections across the NW Zagros Mountains
are presented in this work integrating geological and geophysical local and global datasets …

The motion of Arabia was stable with respect to Eurasia over the past 22 Ma. Deformation
and exhumation in the Zagros is seen to initiate at the same time as argued by new detrital …

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 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 …
