GPS constraints on continental deformation in the Africa-Arabia-Eurasia continental collision zone and implications for the dynamics of plate interactions
Robert Reilinger,Simon McClusky,Philippe Vernant,Shawn Lawrence,Shawn Lawrence,Semih Ergintav,R. Cakmak,Haluk Ozener,Fakhraddin Kadirov,Ibrahim Guliev,Ruben Stepanyan,Merab Nadariya,Galaktion Hahubia,Salah Mahmoud,K. Sakr,Abdullah ArRajehi,Demitris Paradissis,A.

TL;DR: In this article, an elastic block model was developed to constrain present-day plate motions (relative Euler vectors), regional deformation within the interplate zone, and slip rates for major faults.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geodetic constraints on the tectonic evolution of the Aegean region and strain accumulation along the Hellenic subduction zone
TL;DR: In this article, GPS velocities were used to estimate the timing of initiation of principal structures in NW Turkey, the N Aegean Sea, and central Greece, including, the Marmara Sea, the Gulfs of Evia (GoE), the Corinth (GoC), and the Kephalonia Transform fault (KTF), during the past 1-4 Ma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Active transtension inside central Alborz: A new insight into northern Iran–southern Caspian geodynamics
Jean-François Ritz,H. Nazari,A. Ghassemi,Reza Salamati,A. Shafei,S. Solaymani,Philippe Vernant +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the internal domain of central Alborz is not affected by a transpressional regime but by an active transtension with a WNW-ESE extensional axis.
Journal ArticleDOI
GPS network monitors the Arabia-Eurasia collision deformation in Iran
F. Nilforoushan,Frédéric Masson,Philippe Vernant,Christophe Vigny,Joseph Martinod,M. Abbassi,Hamid Reza Nankali,Denis Hatzfeld,Roger Bayer,F. Tavakoli,A. Ashtiani,Erik Doerflinger,Marc Daignières,P. Collard,Jean Chéry +14 more
TL;DR: A large-scale survey of 28 sites (25 in Iran, two in Oman and one in Uzbekistan) has been performed by as discussed by the authors, with a minimum observation of 4 days.
Journal ArticleDOI
Difference in the GPS deformation pattern of North and Central Zagros (Iran)
Andrea Walpersdorf,Denis Hatzfeld,H. Nankali,F. Tavakoli,F. Nilforoushan,Mohammad Tatar,Philippe Vernant,Jean Chéry,F. Masson +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, measurements on either side of the Kazerun fault system in the Zagros Mountain Belt, Iran, show that the accommodation of the convergence of the Arabian and Eurasian Plates differs across the region.
