Crustal and uppermost mantle shear wave velocity structure beneath the Middle East from surface wave tomography [PDF]
, 2020 SUMMARY We have constructed a 3-D shear wave velocity (Vs) model for the crust and uppermost mantle beneath the Middle East using Rayleigh wave records obtained from ambient-noise cross-correlations and regional earthquakes.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 128, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023 Abstract We propose a new model for the crust and upper mantle in Iran by joint inversion of gravity and magnetic fields, constrained with a seismic tomography model. We then calculate shear modulus from the Vs velocities and densities. The crust and mantle tomography model is first converted to a density cube through empirical and petrological ...

Meteorological Applications, Volume 30, Issue 5, September/October 2023., 2023 Six distinct climate zones are identified in Iran: mild and humid, cool and sub‐humid, cold and temperate semi‐arid, warm and semi‐arid, cool and arid, and warm and hyperarid. The maximum precipitation occurs in the southern coastal plains of the Caspian Sea in autumn. The minimum precipitation occurs in southwestern Iran in summer.

Rheological Heterogeneities Control the Non‐Progressive Uplift of the Young Iranian Plateau
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 50, Issue 3, 16 February 2023., 2023 Abstract The Iranian plateau is at the early stage of plateau development and intracontinental deformation in response to the Arabia‐Eurasia collision. Its compressive deformation is concentrated in the northern plateau but skips the central counterpart, challenging the common views envisaging the progressive uplift from the collisional front to the ...

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Abstract The interpretation of low‐temperature thermochronology (LTT) data in magmatic and metallogenic provinces requires a knowledge of the geothermal field through time. There, the challenge is differentiating rapid cooling following transient perturbations of the geotherms (reheating) from exhumational cooling induced by erosion during tectonic ...

The controls on the thermal evolution of continental mountain ranges
Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 1235-1270, September 2022., 2022 Abstract This paper examines the controls on the thermal evolution of continental mountain ranges and investigates how pressure (P) and temperature (T) estimates from metamorphic rocks can be used to reconstruct the thermal histories of orogenic belts.

Fold growth in the South Caspian Sea Basin: mechanisms and interaction with deep-water lacustrine sediments [PDF]
, 2023 Growth strata analysis, finite element modelling and mapping of a lacustrine turbidite channel network utilizing a high-quality 3D seismic reflection dataset have been used to explore the Plio-Pleistocene growth history of the Shafag – Asiman fold ...

Post-Eocene coupled oroclines in the Talesh (NW Iran): paleomagnetic constraints [PDF]
, 2020 The Talesh Mountains (NW Iran) witnessed a long deformation history from the Triassic Cimmerian orogeny to the ongoing Arabia-Eurasia collision. This protracted multi-stage deformation has generated a remarkably curved orogen with a puzzling kinematic ...

Spatio-temporal evolution of intraplate strike-slip faulting: the Neogene-Quaternary Kuh-e-Faghan Fault, Central Iran [PDF]
, 2016 Central Iran provides an ideal region to study the long-term morphotectonic response to the nucleation and propagation of intraplate faulting. In this study, a multidisciplinary approach that integrates structural and stratigraphic field investigations ...
