From Tethyan subduction to Arabia-Eurasia continental collision: Multiple geo-thermochronological signals from granitoids in NW Iran
NW Iran, situated between the Arabian and Eurasian plates, carries a record of both Paleo-

Spatially varying crustal stress along the Zagros seismic belt inferred from earthquake focal mechanisms
We determine the stress field of the Zagros fold-and-thrust belt (ZFTB) in the collisional zone
between the Arabian and Iranian plates. Using 898 mainshock focal mechanisms, which …
