Reservoir heterogeneity and fracture parameter determination using electrical image logs and petrophysical data (a case study, carbonate Asmari Formation, Zagros Basin, SW Iran)

open access: yesPetroleum Science, 2019
Assessment of reservoir and fracture parameters is necessary to optimize oil production, especially in heterogeneous reservoirs. Core and image logs are regarded as two of the best methods for this aim.

Geometry and Kinematics of the Hormuz Salt at Jebel Al Dhanna, United Arab Emirates: Implications for Salt Tectonics and Subsurface Storage

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 44, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract The United Arab Emirates government is assessing the potential of Hormuz Salt domes for subsurface storage, aligning with the transition toward clean energy systems and carbon reduction goals. However, the geometry, kinematics, and halokinetic evolution of these salt structures remain poorly constrained.

Unraveling the Connection Between Subsurface Stress and Geomorphic Features

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 19, 16 October 2025.
Abstract The tectonic stress field induces surface deformation. At long wavelengths, both lithospheric heterogeneity (changes in the thickness and density of crust and lithospheric mantle) and basal tractions from mantle convection contribute to the stress field.

A Recipe for Exotic Continental Fragment Formation: Key Constraints From Numerical Rift Models

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract The Wilson Cycle describes the opening and closing of oceans, generating new plate boundaries at continental rifts, and extinguishing ancient plate boundaries with continental collisions (creating a continental suture). However, the general view of the Wilson Cycle does not fully explain more complex tectonic scenarios.

Rupture of the 1949 Khait Earthquake on a Cryptic Fault: Implications for Earthquake Hazard

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 44, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract The 1949 Mw 7.6 Khait earthquake, Tajikistan, was one of the most destructive of the Pamir—Tien Shan region, killing over 7,000 people by building collapse and landsliding. It occurred at the transition between the Pamir and Tien Shan mountain ranges, which converge along the narrow Vashkh river valley.

PALYNOLOGICAL STUDY OF PALEOZOIC SEDIMENTS OF THE CHAL-I-SHEH AREA, SOUTHWESTERN IRAN [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Sciences, Islamic Republic of Iran, 1993
The Paleozoic sediments of the Chal-i-Sheh area in southwestern Iran comprising of Mila Formation, Ilebek Formation and Faraghan Formation, were studied palynologically. The samples containing well-preserved palynomorphs include acritarchs, chitinozoans,

Introduction: geodynamic evolution of the Zagros [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This special issue of Geological Magazine presents a collection of 17 papers dealing with different aspects of the Zagros orogen. Many, though not all, of these contributions were presented as part of a highly successful session devoted to the geodynamic

Unveiling Cenozoic Volcanism in the Takab‐Shahindezh Area Induced by Slab‐Mantle Interaction in the Zagros Orogen, NW Iran

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract The Zagros orogen records the closure of the Neotethys Ocean by northward subduction of the oceanic slab beneath the Iranian plate. Northwestern Iran has undergone episodic volcanism since the Eocene, due to a shift of tectonic regimes from subduction to collision and post‐collisional extension, although the dynamics responsible for such ...

Flexural Development in the Foreland Basin Adjacent to Northern Oman‐UAE Mountain Belt: Effect of Lithospheric Weakening

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 44, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Inception of obduction is a rare phenomenon in the Wilson cycle and requires specific prerequisites to transfer relatively high‐density oceanic lithosphere over the less‐dense continental lithosphere. The world's famous Semail ophiolite belt developed during the Late Cretaceous, when Neo‐Tethyan oceanic lithosphere obducted onto the rifted ...
