Salt tectonics is the study of how and why salt structures evolve and the three-dimensional
forms that result. A fascinating branch of geology in itself, salt tectonics is also vitally …

The Zagros foldbelt–foreland system in SW Iran is a prolific hydrocarbon province with
known reserves of more than 90 billion brl of oil and 800 TCF of natural gas. Establishing the …

Geological studies indicate that the southeastern Sanandaj–Sirjan Zone, located in the
southeastern Zagros Orogenic Belt, is subdivided transversally into the Esfahan–Sirjan …

Quantified balanced and restored crustal cross-sections across the NW Zagros Mountains
are presented in this work integrating geological and geophysical local and global datasets …

The Zagros fold-and-thrust belt is amongst the world's most seismically active mountain
ranges, and is influential in our understanding of continental collisions. The presence of …

Halokinetic sequences are unconformity-bound packages of thinned and folded strata
adjacent to passive diapirs. Hook halokinetic sequences have narrow zones of deformation …

The available hydrogeochemical data collected over the past four decades in Siberian Arctic
areas were analyzed and interpreted comprehensively for the first time, through data …

The Zagros Mountains result from the ongoing collision between the Arabian and central
Iran plates. The main features of the eastern Zagros are (1) numerous emerged or buried …

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 …

Four-dimensional analogue X-ray tomography imagery is used to investigate the role played
by pre-existing salt structures during compressive deformation. Initially linear salt structures …
