Sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) U-Pb ages for detrital zircons from the Caspian region reveal the age ranges of basement terrains that supplied the sediment. One sample from the modem Volga river has groupings at c. 340-370 Ma, c. 9... Read More about Zircon age constraints on sediment provenance in the Caspian region..

We use magnetic intensity data to determine the geometries of basalt-filled rifts of the West Siberian Basin. En echelon graben arrays suggest a component of right-lateral, north–south shear during east–west extension (present co-ordinates). Several...

The Arabia-Eurasia collision deforms an area of ∼3,000,000 km2 of continental crust, making it one of the largest regions of convergent deformation on Earth. There are now estimates for the active slip rates, total convergence and timing of collision...

Arabia–Eurasia convergence is achieved in the NW Zagros by a combination of shortening on NW–SE-trending folds and thrusts, mainly in the Simple Folded Zone, and by right-lateral strike-slip on the NW–SE-trending Main Recent Fault. A balanced and res... Read More about Structural styles in the Zagros Simple Folded Zone, Iran.
