The total Arabia-Eurasia collision with 22mnl/yr of shortening is absorbed on the Iranian territory mainly in two mountain belts, the Zagros and the Alborz, and on a jew large strike-slip faults. Our study focuses on the northern part ofthe Zagros (west ofthe NS trending Kazerun fault system), that has been covered by an 18 site CPS network measured in 2001 and 2003.
