The geodynamic evolution of Iran
Iran is a remarkable geoscientific laboratory where the full range of processes that form and
modify the continental crust can be studied. Iran's crustal nucleus formed as a magmatic arc …

Evolution of the Zagros sector of Neo-Tethys: Tectonic and magmatic events that shaped its rifting, seafloor spreading and subduction history
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 …

Early Neogene foreland of the Zagros, implications for the initial closure of the Neo-Tethys and kinematics of crustal shortening
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 …

Orogenic plateau growth: Expansion of the Turkish‐Iranian Plateau across the Zagros fold‐and‐thrust belt
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 …
