An up-to-date GPS velocity field of Iran

Abstract

In this study we present an up-to-date velocity field of Iran, including the largest number of data ever presentedon this region. It includes both a synthesis of all previously published campaign data (Raeesi et al., 2016) andall data from the Iranian Permanent GNSS Network (IPGN). The IPGN data cover some parts of Iran whichwere previously scarcely documented. These stations have been measured for 7 years. In total, more than 400instrumented sites are presented. From this velocity field, we calculated the strain rate.In this paper, we will show the contribution of this very dense velocity field to the detailed understanding of theactive tectonics of the various regions of Iran (Makran, Zagros, Alborz, ...)
