The kinematics of the Zagros Mountains (Iran)

open access: yesGeological Society, London, Special Publications, 2010
Abstract We present a synthesis of recently conducted tectonic, global positioning system (GPS), geomorphological and seismic studies to describe the kinematics of the Zagros mountain belt, with a special focus on the transverse right-lateral strike-slip Kazerun Fault System (KFS).

Orogenic evolution of the Zagros mountains

open access: yes
This dissertation addresses the Phanerozoic tectonic and paleogeographic evolution of the Zagros orogenic belt. The Zagros formed due to multiple deformation events affiliated with the opening and closure of the Neotethys ocean, serving as the Middle Eastern link between the European and Asian segments of the Alpine-Himalayan belt. The first chapter of

Revised age of proximal deposits in the Zagros foreland basin and implications for Cenozoic evolution of the High Zagros

open access: yesTectonophysics, 2008
The regionally extensive, coarse-grained Bakhtiyari Formation represents the youngest synorogenic fill in the Zagros foreland basin of Iran. The Bakhtiyari is present throughout the Zagros fold-thrust belt and consists of conglomerate with subordinate ...

Building the Zagros collisional orogen: Timing, strain distribution and the dynamics of Arabia/Eurasia plate convergence

open access: yesTectonophysics, 2012
The Zagros Mountains are the result of the Arabia/Eurasia collision initiated at ~. 35. Ma as the rifted Arabian lithosphere was underthrusted beneath the Iranian plate due to its negative buoyancy. The onset of crustal thickening started at ~. 25.
