This work documents for the first time prehistoric, but morphologically pristine, Emad Deh rock avalanche of Zagros Mountains. The ca. 420 Mm 3 was initiated as a rockslide on dip slope affecting weak unit marls with interbedded limestones overlain by thick and competent limestone formation. is located northern limb growing Gavbast Anticline at edge inflating Dome, related to buried salt diapir...

The Main Recent Fault is a major right-lateral strike-slip fault in the western Zagros mountains of Iran. geodetic and geological studies estimate low slip rate 1–6 mm/yr at an unknown depth which, when combined with non-ideal geometry, makes difficult but interesting target for InSAR analysis. This analysis would further cement estimated provide opportunity to base locked seismogenic zone, bot...

Charcoal canker of oak, which has recently increased in southern Iran, could pose a serious threat to the entire forest ecosystem near future. In addition, it seems that climate change and its consequences, such as drought regions have exacerbated this phenomenon. Consequently, objective study was identify fungal pathogens cause charcoal disease oak forests South Zagros. It also sought find ass...

Ghār-e Boof is a Paleolithic cave site in Iran well known for its rich early Upper Rostamian assemblages. The located on the edge of Dasht-e Rostam plain southern Zagros. Recent excavations by members Tübingen-Iranian Stone Age Research Project at also recovered well-stratified Middle Here, we provide first detailed luminescence chronology and site. More generally, our work Zagros Mountains reg...

Folding is a common mode of deformation in geology when mechanically layered rocks are subjected to compression. They occur on a wide range of scales from mm-scale to 10’s of kilometers in places where upper crustal rocks are compressed as a result of tectonic plate convergence (such as in the Zagros mountains, Iran). The physical instability that results in the formation of folds has been stud...
