Early Mesozoic sedimentary?tectonic evolution of the Central-East Iranian Microcontinent: Evidence from a provenance study of the Nakhlak Group [PDF]
, 2018 In Central Iran, the mixed siliciclastic?carbonate Nakhlak Group of Triassic age is commonly seen to have a Cimmerian affinity, although it shows considerable resemblances with the Triassic Aghdarband Group in far northeastern Iran, east of Kopeh-Dagh ...

Attenuation Models for Estimation of Vertical Peak Ground Acceleration Based on PSO Algorithm for the North of Iran [PDF]
, 2023 Peak ground acceleration (PGA) is a critical parameter in ground-motion investigations, in particular in earthquake-prone areas such as Iran. In the current study, a new method based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) is developed to obtain an ...

Quaternary slip rates along the northeastern boundary of the Arabia-Eurasia collision zone (Kopeh Dagh Mountains, Northeast Iran) [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 2009 P>The Kopeh Dagh is accommodating a large portion of the northward motion of central Iran with respect to Eurasia, involving a major right-lateral strike-slip fault system (Bakharden-Quchan). This fault system corresponds to the northeastern boundary of the Arabia-Eurasia collision, and can be considered as a lithospheric-scale tectonic feature.

Post-Cimmerian (Jurassic–Cenozoic) paleogeography and vertical axis tectonic rotations of Central Iran and the Alborz Mountains [PDF]
, 2015 According to previous paleomagnetic analyses, the northward latitudinal drift of Iran related to the closure of the Paleo-Tethys Ocean resulted in the Late Triassic collision of Iran with the Eurasian plate and Cimmerian orogeny.

Earthquakes and active tectonics of the South Caspian region, Central Asia [PDF]
The study of earthquakes and active faulting is vitally important at multiple scales. At a local level, analysis of past earthquakes and surface ruptures provides insight and source parameters that are critically important for effective seismic hazard ...

Journal of Geological Research, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 In this paper, the biostratigraphy and sequence stratigraphy of marine Paleogene deposits from the Kopet‐Dagh basin (NE of Iran) are described. Particularly the absence of Morozovella genus is discussed. In addition, the Paleocene/Eocene boundary has been studied in detail using the record of planktonic and larger benthic foraminifera. This boundary is
