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 …

Neotectonics is a major factor controlling landform development in tectonically active
regions, and it has significantly affected fluvial systems and mountain-front landscapes in the …

We present five generalized cross sections across the central Zagros fold‐and‐thrust belt
(Iran). These sections show that the fold geometry varies significantly both horizontally and …

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 …

Measurements on either side of the Kazerun fault system in the Zagros Mountain Belt, Iran,
show that the accommodation of the convergence of the Arabian and Eurasian Plates differs …

Eclogites are high-pressure/low-temperature metamorphic rocks and are regularly
considered as an indicator of ancient subduction zones. Eclogites have recently been found …

The Zagros (Iran) developed during Mio‐Pliocene times in response to Arabia‐Eurasia
convergence. The western Fars highlights a major bend of the deformation front and …

The NW trending Zagros fold‐and‐thrust belt is affected by two major dextral faults:(1) the
NW trending Main Recent Fault that accommodates partitioning of oblique convergence at …

Active faulting in Iran is a direct indicator of active crustal deformation due to the
convergence between Arabia and Eurasia which occurs at 2.1-2.5 cm/yr. In this paper active …

The central part of the Zagros Fold-Thrust Belt is characterized by a series of right-lateral
and left-lateral transverse tear fault systems, some of them being ornamented by salt diapirs …
