The subduction plate interface: Rock record and mechanical coupling (from long to short timescales)
Short-and long-term processes at or close to the subduction plate interface (eg, mineral
transformations, fluid release, seismicity and more generally deformation) might be more …

Building the Zagros collisional orogen: timing, strain distribution and the dynamics of Arabia/Eurasia plate convergence
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 …

Zagros orogeny: a subduction-dominated process
This paper presents a synthetic view of the geodynamic evolution of the Zagros orogen
within the frame of the Arabia–Eurasia collision. The Zagros orogen and the Iranian plateau …

Zircon U–Pb age constraints from Iran on the magmatic evolution related to Neotethyan subduction and Zagros orogeny
This study reports zircon LA-ICPMS U–Pb ages of 50 igneous rock samples from the
Urumieh–Dokhtar magmatic arc (UDMA) and Sanandaj–Sirjan structural zone (SSZ) in Iran …

The Neotethyan Sanandaj‐Sirjan zone of Iran as an archetype for passive margin‐arc transitions
J Hassanzadeh, BP Wernicke - Tectonics, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract The Sanandaj‐Sirjan zone of Iran is a northwest trending orogenic belt immediately
north of the Zagros suture, which represents the former position of the Neotethys Ocean. The …

A Paleogene extensional arc flare‐up in Iran
Arc volcanism across Iran is dominated by a Paleogene pulse, despite protracted and
presumably continuous subduction along the northern margin of the Neotethyan ocean for …

Arc-magmatism and subduction history beneath the Zagros Mountains, Iran: A new report of adakites and geodynamic consequences
The Zagros Mountains were formed by convergence between Eurasia and Africa/Arabia.
Compared to the wealth of recent studies on the external Zagros fold and thrust belt, the …

Exhumation of oceanic blueschists and eclogites in subduction zones: timing and mechanisms
High-pressure low-temperature (HP–LT) metamorphic rocks provide invaluable constraints
on the evolution of convergent zones. Based on a worldwide compilation of key information …

Exhumation processes in oceanic and continental subduction contexts: a review
Although the exhumation of high pressure (HP) and ultrahigh pressure (UHP) rocks is an
integral process in subduction, it is a transient process, likely taking place during the …

Comparisons of the kinematics and deep structures of the Zagros and Himalaya and of the Iranian and Tibetan plateaus and geodynamic implications
D Hatzfeld, P Molnar - Reviews of Geophysics, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
We compare the geologic histories, the deep structures, and the present‐day kinematics of
deformation of the Himalaya and the adjacent Tibetan Plateau with those of the Zagros and …
