“…Subsequently, from the early-middle Miocene, exhumation rates increased significantly possibly in response to a more advanced stage of the Arabia-Eurasia collision (e.g., Axen et al, 2001;Ballato et al, 2013Ballato et al, , 2015Guest et al, 2006bGuest et al, , 2007Madanipour et al, 2017;Paknia et al, 2021;Rezaeian et al, 2012). To the north, the South Caspian Basin appears to have started subducting beneath Eurasia at least from the late Miocene (e.g., Mammadov, 2008), possibly when the TAK range started bending around the South Caspian Basin (e.g., Cifelli et al, 2015;Mattei et al, 2017) or following the rapid sediment loading triggered by the ∼ 6 to 3 Ma, km-scale (0.6 to 1.4km) base-level fall in the Caspian Sea.…”

“…Eventually, since the late Miocene, the collisional deformation triggered a major reorganization of the Central Iran area (e.g., Calzolari et al, 2016;Jentzer et al, 2017;Nozaem et al, 2013;Tadayon et al, 2017), the oroclinal bending of the Talesh-Alborz and Kopeh-Dagh around the South Caspian Basin (SCB) (Cifelli et al, 2015;Mattei et al, 2017), and the subduction of the SCB beneath the Absheron Ridge with the development of an accretionary prism (Allen et al, 2002;Axen et al, 2001;Ballato et al, 2015;Jackson et al, 2002;Mammadov, 2008).…”

“…These are mainly due to the active tectonics and structure of the South Caspian Sea and its role in the collision between Arabia and Eurasia [Jackson et al, 2002;Brunet et al, 2003]. The South Caspian depression is an autonomous tectonic unit that consists of: the southern part of the Caspian Sea; the West Turkmen depression adjacent to the latter; the northern lowland periphery of the Alborz system; the Lower Kura trough; and the Apsheron-Kobystan trough [Mammadov, 2008]. This interaction between tectonic plates makes the region subject to frequent and strong earthquake.…”

In this paper, a combination of satellite altimetry (SA) and tide-gauge (TG) observations is used to determine the pattern of vertical deformation at southern coasts of Caspian Sea. Satellite altimetry measures the variations of sea water surface with a respect to a reference ellipsoid, while tide gauge data gives the sea level relative to a particular ground station; consequently, the difference between these two observations will give the vertical motion at the ground station. However, altimeter satellites still have problems at shallow waters or coastal areas which leads to inaccurate and corrupted sea surface height at tide gauge stations. To minimize this imprecision, two strategies are applied for the selection of the suitable SA points near the TG stations. The First one is to choose those close passes to the TG stations, provided that the SA data is not corrupted (range observation is available). The second strategy is to extrapolate the SA points at TG stations using Spatio- Temporal Kriging method. In both point of views, use is made of re-tracking methods to improve the ranges of SA observations near the coast. Amplitudes of tidal components are removed from both SA and TG observations to derive the residual tide free signals. Afterward, a linear trend is fitted to the residual signals in the sense of least square; the difference between these two, supplies the vertical deformation of the ground station. The results illustrate that the average vertical crustal motion at Anzali, Noshahr and Neka are -1.387, -1.903 and -3.14 mm/year, respectively.

“…From the Ventura field only 120 mln.t of oil and 60 mln.m 3 meters of gas were produced from turbidite deposits. In the Mexican gulf also the oil and gas bearing sequence with alternation of high quality reservoirs and pelagic deposits has been attributed to turbidites [21][22]. They have been accumulated in areas far from frontal parts of deltas and avandeltas and in underwater cones.…”

The paper considers sedimentation process and objects of lateral development in deep-water uncompensated and shallow-water – epicontinental paleobasins developed at various evolution stages of South- Caspian and Middle-Caspian basins. The South Caspian megabasin is a great tectonic crustal element and a highly prospective sedimentary basin in the central segment of the Alpine-Himalayan mobile belt. The role of boundary structures of Scythian-Turan platform in the Middle Caspian (such as South-Caspian land and Karaboghaz arc) and avalanche sedimentation on the continental shelf in development of sedimentation units and specific shape objects of lateral development in many kilometers long sedimentary cover of South-Caspian basin has been shown. According to interpretation of seismo-stratigraphic data the inflow of paleodeltaic, avandelatic and turbidite objects of lateral development for infill of the Early Pliocene basin has been proved. Seismo-stratigraphic analysis, using other analyses (e.g. study of morphostructure of palaeorelief and thicknesses of the units and formations) and GSW, enabled the genesis of deposits in the underlying PS formations to be clarified from a new perspective and the favou- rable zones of formation of large lithological and stratigraphic traps for oil and gas accumulations to be identified.
