The potential of small mountain river systems for paleoenvironmental reconstructions in drylands - an example from the Binaloud Mountains in Northeastern Iran [PDF]

, 2020
Fluvial sediments are valuable paleoenvironmental archives of the Quaternary. Since besides environmental factors they are also affected by local tectonics or intrinsic processes, large instead of small catchments should be studied.

Microseismicity and seismotectonics of the South Caspian Lowlands, NE Iran [PDF]

, 2013
This paper is concerned with the microseismicity and seismotectonics of the eastern South Caspian Sea region, where the East Alborz mountains descend to meet the South Caspian Lowlands of NE Iran.

Estimating the maximum earthquake magnitude in the Iranian Plateau [PDF]

, 2021
The Iranian Plateau has been subjected to destructive earthquakes throughout its history. Reliable assessment of the seismic hazard in this earthquake-prone region is therefore essential.

New tectonic configuration in NE Iran: Active strike‐slip faulting between the Kopeh Dagh and Binalud mountains [PDF]

Tectonics, 2009
In this paper, a combined approach of geomorphic analyses, detailed geological mapping on SPOT 5 satellite images and field surveys, complemented by radiometric dating (40Ar/39Ar) allows proposing a new and consistent tectonic configuration for the northeastern Arabia‐Eurasia collision zone.

Estimating the mechanical anisotropy of the Iranian lithosphere using the wavelet coherence method [PDF]

, 2013
We calculated anisotropic wavelet coherence between Bouguer anomaly and topography in order to map the anisotropy of the effective elastic thickness of the Iranian lithosphere (Te). An orthotropic elastic plate model is used for inverting the anisotropic

Late Cenozoic to Present Kinematic of the North to Eastern Iran Orogen: Accommodating Opposite Sense of Fault Blocks Rotation [PDF]

, 2022
The opposite-sense fault block rotation across the continental strike-slip faulting plays an important role in accommodating crustal deformation in the north of the East Iran orogen.

Strike-slip faulting, rotation, and along-strike elongation in the Kopeh Dagh mountains, NE Iran [PDF]

Geophysical Journal International, 2006
SUMMARY The Kopeh Dagh is a linear mountain range separating the shortening in Iran from the stable, flat Turkmenistan platform. In its central part is an array of active right-lateral strike-slip faults that obliquely cut the range and produce offsets of several kilometres in the geomorphology and geological structure.

The Post-Eocene Evolution of the Doruneh Fault Region (Central Iran): The Intraplate Response to the Reorganization of the Arabia-Eurasia Collision Zone [PDF]

, 2017
The Cenozoic deformation history of Central Iran has been dominantly accommodated by the activation of major intracontinental strike-slip fault zones, developed in the hinterland domain of the Arabia-Eurasia convergent margin.

Extrusion tectonics and subduction in the eastern South Caspian region since 10 Ma: REPLY [PDF]

, 2008
In our paper (Hollingsworth et al., 2008), we present a model of how the distribution of active faults in northeast Iran might accommodate both the northward motion of Central Iran and the westward motion of the South Caspian region, relative to Eurasia.

Palaeoenvironmental study and sequence stratigraphy of Sanghaneh Formation in Qalehjegh section (North of Bojnord) using organic matter contents of the rock unit [PDF]

Journal of Stratigraphy and Sedimentology Researches, 2015
  Introduction   Kopeh-Dagh basin is located northeast of Iran and in this basin the sedimentary beds began from middle Jurassic. The Sanghaneh Formation is one of the lower Cretaceous rock units in sections.
