Tectonic and structural framework of the Zagros fold-thrust belt - Volume 3

This collection of new research and developments on its tectonic and structural geology is crucial and will have broad appeal, not only in Iran, but worldwide.

Collisional mountain ranges, such as the Zagros, the Himalayas, the Alps and the Andes share common fundamental deformation mechanisms, therefore geoscientists study these ranges and compare and contrast the research.

The Zagros range is studied by geologists from different parts of the world, particularly with the goal to understand its unique dynamics and kinematics.

In addition, the Zagros range is a potential source for hydrocarbons, thus it is of particular interest to petroleum geologists and exploration companies worldwide.
