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

Catastrophic flood of the Mediterranean after the Messinian salinity crisis

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show the continuity of a 200 km-long channel across the Gibraltar Strait and explain its morphology as the result of erosion by the flooding waters, adopting an incision model validated in mountain rivers.

Catastrophic flood of the Mediterranean after the Messinian Salinity Crisis? Insights from river incision models and geophysical evidence

TL;DR: The results suggest that 90 per cent of the water was transferred in a short period ranging from a few months to two years, suggesting that this extremely abrupt flood may have involved peak rates of sea level rise in the Mediterranean of more than ten metres per day.
Journal ArticleDOI

Magnetostratigraphy of Miocene–Pliocene Zagros foreland deposits in the front of the Push-e Kush Arc (Lurestan Province, Iran)

TL;DR: In this article, a magnetostratigraphic study was carried out in a composite section spanning about 2800 m in order to date growth strata, and to constrain the timing of the deformation in the Mountain Front Flexure (MFF).
Journal ArticleDOI

The Pyrenean orogen: pre-, syn-, and post-collisional evolution

TL;DR: In this article, an integrated synthesis of the Pyrenees from the middle Cretaceous to the present showing the pre-, synand post-collisional evolution ranging from plate tectonics to single anticlines and thrusts is presented.
