Description

The Iranian collisional belt formed through different geological events, some of which are still in progress, such as the convergence between Eurasian and Arabian plates, that led to the formation of a complex structure throughout the entire area. To better investigate these structures, we realize a 3D model of the lithosphere in Iran showing the density and the magnetic susceptibility distribution, obtained from a Bayesian joint gravity and magnetic field inversion, starting from a high-resolution seismic tomography (Kaviani et al., 2020). With these models we also calculate the rigidity distribution of the area. The Data Cube uploaded contains the density, magnetic susceptibility and shear modulus volumes, the Bouguer gravity field and the magnetic field, and the Moho, Curie depth and sediment base depth surfaces.
