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 …

This paper gives an overview of the large-scale tectonic styles encountered in orogens
worldwide. Thin-skinned and thick-skinned tectonics represent two end member styles …

Defining the structural style of fold–thrust belts and understanding the controlling factors are
necessary steps towards prediction of their long-term and short-term dynamics, including …

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 …

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 …

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 …

New whole-rock and Sr–Nd isotopic analyses of Quaternary lavas from Kurdistan Province,
western Iran, shed light on the nature of orogenic plateau magmatism during continental …

Abstract The 12 November 2017 M w 7.3 Ezgeleh‐Sarpolzahab earthquake is the largest
instrumentally recorded earthquake in the Zagros Simply Folded Belt by a factor of∼ 10 in …

Abstract The November 2017 M w 7.3 Darbandikhan earthquake in the northern Zagros
Mountains of Iran/Iraq was the largest instrumentally recorded earthquake to date in this …

In salt-bearing foreland fold-thrust belts, precursor salt structures affect deformation and
accommodate fault zones during orogenic shortening. The complex structure and the …
