Abstract The Sistan orogen (Eastern Iran) separates the Afghan and Lut continental blocks
and stretches along∼ 700 km from north to south, at a high angle with respect to other …

The issue about the Sabzevar Oceanic Basin (SOB) lifetime and its paleogeographic
position, as a branch of the NeoTethyan oceanic system in Northeast Iran, has long been …

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 …

Introduction: The East Iran orogen has experienced multiple buckling phases resulting in the
formation of strike-slip fault splays. The geometric and kinematic characteristics of these …

Back‐arc regions are usually punctuated by pulses of tectonic deformation, lasting for few
tens of millions of years. Yet, the origin of those short‐lived deformation episodes is …

We used satellite images, earthquake catalogues and field observations to study several
active fault systems and their interactions in Sabzevaran Area in SE Iran. The focus of this …

The structural evolution of the carbonate platform in the footwall of the Semail ophiolite
emplaced onto the passive continental margin of Arabia helps to better understand the early …

The pre-Alpine evolution of the Tethyan domains between Gondwana and Laurasia, and in
particular that of the Cimmerian continental blocks, remains poorly constrained. Central Iran …

Abstract The East Asian margin has experienced a complex tectonic history since the
Mesozoic and has developed a complex basin-mountain system. The Jiaolai Basin, which is …

This research assessed stress regimes and fields in eastern Iran using fault-slip data and
the tectonic events associated with these changes. Our stress analysis of the brittle …
