A Major Medieval Earthquake on the Main Köpetdag (Kopeh Dagh) Fault, Turkmenistan [PDF]
Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2022 ABSTRACTThe Main Köpetdag fault (MKDF) of Turkmenistan is one of the longest (≈500 km) and the most rapidly straining (9.1 ± 1.3 mm/yr) faults of the Arabia–Eurasia collision zone, and yet, in contrast to adjacent parts of Turkmenistan and Iran, it has little in the way of observed seismicity.

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.

Tectonics, Volume 40, Issue 8, August 2021., 2021 Abstract We provide the first measurement of strike‐slip and shortening rates across the 200‐km‐long right‐lateral strike‐slip Main Köpetdag Fault (MKDF) in Turkmenistan. Strike‐slip and shortening components are accommodated on parallel structures separated by ∼10 km.

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2021 The Aghdarband Basin in the Kopeh-Dagh Range (NE Iran) is one of the most important areas for unraveling the evolution of the Turan plate (southern margin of Eurasia) during the last phase of the closure of the Paleotethys and to reconstruct the history ...
