Cenozoic evolution of Neotethys and implications for the causes of plate motions [PDF]
Africa-North America-Eurasia plate circuit rotations, combined with Red Sea rotations and new estimates of crustal shortening in Iran define the Cenozoic history of the Neotethyan ocean between Arabia and Eurasia. The new constraints indicate that Arabia-

Ordovician of North Iran: New lithostratigraphy, palaeogeography and biogeographical links with South China and the Mediterranean peri-Gondwana margin [PDF]
The Ordovician litho- and biostratigraphic framework of Alborz, Kopet-Dagh and the East-Central Iranian blocks is outlined and significantly updated, and a broad summary of the current state of knowledge of the Ordovician deposits and faunas across Iran ...

ABSTRACT The increasing global focus on carbon sequestration underscores the need for comprehensive CO2 storage atlases, extending beyond Europe and America to other countries that are significant contributors to carbon dioxide emissions. This article addresses this imperative by examining the CO2 storage potential in the Lurestan area of Iran, with a ...

A MONOTYPIC STAND OF NEOCALAMITES IRANENSIS N. SP. FROM THE CARNIAN PLUVIAL EPISODE (LATE TRIASSIC) OF THE AGHDARBAND AREA, NE IRAN (TURAN PLATE) [PDF]
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 ...

Future of Three Endemic Woody Species of Colutea (Fabaceae) in a Changing Climate in Iran
Investigating how climate change is influencing the distribution of three Colutea species endemic to Iran by modeling the potentially suitable distribution range of the species under current and proposed future climate change scenarios. ABSTRACT Woody plants offer valuable services to ecosystems, including providing useful products, stabilizing ...

Palaeobathymetry of the Abderaz Formation using foraminifera, Iran [PDF]
Abderaz Formation at its type section with an age of Turonian-early Campanian and a thickness of 300 m contains light grey shale and marl. The study of the planktonic foraminifera in isolated form led to differentiate three morphotype groups.

Biogeographic Patterns of Iranian Lepidoptera: A Framework for Conservation
ABSTRACT Aim The contact zone of three zoogeographic realms, the Palearctic, Saharo‐Arabian and Oriental, is an evolutionary cradle of high species richness and endemism in Iran. In this study, we investigate statistically inferred bioregions of Lepidoptera in this region.

An InSAR‐GNSS Velocity Field for Iran
Abstract We present average ground‐surface velocities and strain rates for the 1.7 million km2 area of Iran, from the joint inversion of InSAR‐derived displacements and GNSS data. We generate interferograms from 7 years of Sentinel‐1 radar acquisitions, correct for tropospheric noise using the GACOS system, estimate average velocities using LiCSBAS ...
