Journal ArticleDOI
Convergence history across Zagros (Iran): constraints from collisional and earlier deformation
TL;DR: In this paper, the main Zagros orogen is shown to be deeply rooted, possibly to Moho depths, and the suture zone effectively runs along the MZT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Building the Zagros collisional orogen: Timing, strain distribution and the dynamics of Arabia/Eurasia plate convergence
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that only 42% of the post-35 Ma convergence is partitioned by shortening within central Iran, and the current subduction dynamics can be explained by the original lateral difference in the buoyancy of the distal margin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Late Cenozoic and modern stress fields in the western Fars (Iran): Implications for the tectonic and kinematic evolution of central Zagros
TL;DR: In this paper, the inversion of focal mechanisms from small and moderate earthquakes shows a consistent N020°-030° compression with a low ratio between differential stresses. But the authors do not consider the impact of small earthquakes on the stability of the strike-slip faults.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tertiary sequence of deformation in a thin‐skinned/thick‐skinned collision belt: The Zagros Folded Belt (Fars, Iran)
Frédéric Mouthereau,Julien Tensi,Nicolas Bellahsen,Olivier Lacombe,T. de Boisgrollier,S. Kargar +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe how thin-skinned/thick-skinned deformation in the Zagros Folded Belt interacted in time and space, and estimate a total shortening of 65-78 km (16-19%).
Journal ArticleDOI
Placing limits to shortening evolution in the Pyrenees: Role of margin architecture and implications for the Iberia/Europe convergence

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combine existing and new sequentially restored cross sections in the central Pyrenees, with Iberia/Europe (IB/EU) plate kinematic reconstructions and new apatite fission track, zircon (U-Th)/He, and U/Pb ages to discuss higher and lower bounds of crustal shortening and determine the amount of distal margin sutured during collision.
