Active tectonics and late Cenozoic strain distribution in central and eastern Iran by Walker, R, Jackson, J

“…Little is known of the late Tertiary and younger offsets and slip rates on the active fault systems, results that are important for understanding the regional tectonics. We use observations from satellite imagery to identify displaced geological and geomorphological markers which we use in conjunction with the overall morphology and orientation of the active fault systems to estimate the total cumulative right-lateral shear. …”

Contrasting styles of convergence in the Arabia-Eurasia collision: Why escape tectonics does not occur in Iran by Allen, M, Blanc, E, Walker, R, Jackson, J, Talebian, M, Ghassemi, MR

“…Here we summarize how the tectonically active mountain ranges of Iran deform by combinations of thrusting and strike-slip movement oblique to the overall convergence vector across each region, without requiring net eastward movement with respect to Eurasia. …”

Subjects:

Slip-rate on the Main Köpetdag (Kopeh Dagh) strike-slip fault, Turkmenistan, and the active tectonics of the South Caspian by Walker, R, Bezmenov, Y, Begenjev, G, Carolin, S, Dodds, N, Gruetzner, C, Jackson, J, Mirzin, R, Mousavi, Z, Rhodes, E

“…The MKDF is estimated to have ~35 km of cumulative right-lateral slip which, if these geological measurements are correct, would accumulate in only 3-5 Ma at the rate we have determined, suggesting that the present tectonic configuration started within that time period. …”

Radiometric dates of uplifted marine fauna in Greece: Implications for the interpretation of recent earthquake and tectonic histories using lithophagid dates by Shaw, B, Jackson, J, Higham, T, England, P, Thomas, A

“…These observations reveal two important effects that limit the use of radiocarbon lithophagid ages in tectonic and paleoseismological studies. The first is that the exceptional preservation potential of lithophagids allows them to remain intact and in situ long after natural death, while the substrate continues to be colonised until eventual uplift. …”

Late Holocene uplift of Rhodes, Greece: evidence for a large tsunamigenic earthquake and the implications for the tectonics of the eastern Hellenic Trench System by Howell, A, Jackson, J, England, P, Higham, T, Synolakis, C

“…Hydrodynamical simulation of tsunami propagation from a range of tectonically plausible sources suggests that earthquakes on the fault uplifting Rhodes represent a significant tsunami hazard for Rhodes and SW Turkey, and also possibly for Cyprus and the Nile Delta.…”

Rate of slip from multiple Quaternary dating methods and paleoseismic investigations along the Talas‐Fergana Fault: tectonic implications for the Tien Shan Range by Rizza, M, Abdrakhmatov, K, Walker, R, Braucher, R, Guillou, V, Carr, A, Campbell, G, Mackenzie, D, Jackson, J, Aumaître, G, Bourlès, D, Keddadouche, K

The 1998 March 14 Fandoqa earthquake (M-w 6.6) in Kerman province, southeast Iran: re-rupture of the 1981 Sirch earthquake fault, triggering of slip on adjacent thrusts and the active tectonics of the Gowk fault zone by Berberian, M, Jackson, J, Fielding, E, Parsons, B, Priestley, K, Qorashi, M, Talebian, M, Walker, R, Wright, T, Baker, C

“…We use observations of surface faulting, analysis of P and SH body waves, SAR interferometry and geomorphology to investigate the ruptures in these earthquakes and how they are related both to each other and to the regional active tectonics. The 1998 Fandoqa earthquake produced 23 km of surface faulting with up to 3 m right-lateral strike-slip and 1 m vertical offsets. …”

ACTIVE DEFORMATION OF THE CONTINENTS by England, P, Jackson, J

“…Broad zones of deformation surrounding rigid blocks are highlighted as fundamental to the analysis and interpretation of continental tectonics. Detailed theoretical consideration is given to the kinematics of distributed formation and the dynamics of continental deformation. …”

Upper-mantle earthquakes beneath the arafura sea and south aru trough: Implications for continental rheology by Sloan, R, Jackson, J

“…The extent and controls of long-term elastic strength and seismicity in the upper continental lithospheric mantle (UCLM) are controversial topics in continental tectonics. One key issue is the scarcity of UCLM earthquakes, even where the UCLM is likely to be colder than 600°C. …”
