We analyze new GPS data spanning 11 years at 92 stations in eastern Iran. We use these data to analyze the present‐day kinematics and the slip rates on most seismogenic faults in …
The structure, age and petrogenesis of plutonic basement rocks from the Kuh-e-Sarhangi region, located in the Kashmar-Kerman tectonic zone of Central Iran are described. These …
Abstract The poorly known Sabzevar–Torbat-e-Heydarieh ophiolite belt (STOB) covers a large region in NE Iran, over 400 km EW and almost 200 km NS. The Sabzevar mantle …
The Arabia–Eurasia collision zone in the central part of the Alpine–Himalayan orogenic system has had a complex deformation history since the Palaeozoic. In Iran, the collision …

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 …
The Cenozoic deformation history of Central Iran has been dominantly accommodated by the activation of major intracontinental strike‐slip fault zones, developed in the hinterland …
The occurrence in Iran of several ophiolite belts dating between Late Palaeozoic to Triassic poses several questions on the possible existence of various sutures marking the closure of …
A better understanding of intraplate deformation requires the knowledge of the space–time scales involved in its development and to decipher possible links with the dynamic evolution …
We conducted a stress field analysis of the northern part of the~ 700 km long north‐south trending, seismically active Sistan orogenic belt of Eastern Iran formed as a result of the …
