Two-sided asymmetric subduction; implications for tectonomagmatic and metallogenic evolution of the Lut Block, Eastern Iran [PDF]

, 2011
West directed subduction zones show common characteristics, such as low structural elevation, deep trench, steep slab and a conjugate back-arc basin that are opposite to those of the east directed subduction zones.

Middle to late Cenozoic basin evolution in the western Alborz Mountains: Implications for the onset of collisional deformation in northern Iran [PDF]

, 2007
Oligocene-Miocene strata preserved in synclinal outcrop belts of the western Alborz Mountains record the onset of Arabia-Eurasia collision-related deformation in northern Iran.

Tectonics and Surface Processes During Collisional Orogenesis—Exploring the Parameter Space of the Beaumont Number

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract The collision of continents typically leads to orogenesis as a result of crustal thickening and isostatic compensation. High topography is a main locus of precipitation‐fueled erosion, providing a feedback‐loop between tectonics, surface processes, and climate.

Geophysical Insights Into 3D Crustal Architecture of Jurassic Magmatic Intrusions in the Moroccan Atlas

Earth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Magmatic intrusions in rifted continental margins play a critical role in shaping structural evolution, yet their geometry and emplacement mechanisms remain poorly constrained in salt‐influenced terrains. The Moroccan Central High Atlas, a segment of the Atlas fold‐and‐thrust belt, hosts extensive Middle Jurassic to Early Cretaceous intrusions

An innovative approach for investigation of overpressure due to hydrocarbon generation: a regional study on Kazhdumi formation, South-western Zagros Basin, Iran

Journal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technology
Overpressure is always considered as a severe problem in the oil industry. Besides creating life risks through serious accidents while drilling, failure to correctly identify high-pressure intervals causes a significant increase in costs and prolongs the

Biostratigraphic Study of the Gurpi Formation Based on Planktonic Foraminifera In Lar Area (Kuh-e-kurdeh Section) [PDF]

, 2009
The study of planktonic foraminifera of the Gurpi formations at Lar area (Kuh-e-kurdeh section) enables me to find the most standard biozones defined in mediterranean regions, especially Tethysian domain. Five biozones were determined.

Potential Evaluation and Basin Modeling of the Pabdeh Formation in Zagros Basin: A Case Study

Open Journal of Geology, 2017
Pabdeh Formation is one of the most important source rocks in Zagros basin. In this study, thermal modeling and comparing of hydrocarbon potential evaluation of Pabdeh Formation in Mish Anticline and Gachsaran oil field have been investigated. For this reason, Rock-Eval pyrolysis was carried out on 21 cuttings samples collected from 2 boreholes (Well ...

Restoring the Missing Late Cretaceous Arc of Iran

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Persistent arc magmatism archives fluid transport and mantle partial melting in subduction zones. However, arc magmatism often exhibits different magmatic records along the strike, as seen in the Tethyan orogenic belt. During Neo‐Tethys subduction under Iran, there was pulsed arc magmatism with Middle Jurassic and Eocene magmatic flare‐ups ...

Strain Rates Along the Alpine‐Himalayan Belt From a Comprehensive GNSS Velocity Field

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract The Alpine‐Himalayan belt is one of Earth's most dynamic and complex regions, characterized by intense tectonic deformation and seismicity. Comprehensive analyses of continental‐scale crustal deformation and seismic hazards along this extensive orogenic belt require the compilation of large geodetic data sets.

Global Groundwater Drought Assessment Revisited: A Holistic Re‐Evaluation of the GRACE‐Groundwater Drought Index Across Major Aquifers

Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and GRACE Follow‐On missions have enriched global groundwater monitoring, forming the basis for tools that detect groundwater drought, including the GRACE‐Groundwater Drought Index (GGDI). The reliability of GGDI is fundamentally tied to the accurate isolation of a representative groundwater ...
