ASEISMIC DEFORMATION OF A FOLD-AND-THRUST BELT IMAGED BY SYNTHETICAPERTURE RADAR INTERFEROMETRY NEAR SHAHDAD, SOUTHEAST IRAN (2004)

At depth, many fold-and-thrust belts are composed of a gently dipping, basal thrustfault and steeply dipping, shallower splay faults that terminate beneath folds at the surface.Movement on these buried faults is difficult to observe, but synthetic aperture radar(SAR) interferometry has imaged slip on at least 600 km2 of the Shahdad basal-thrustand splay-fault network in southeast Iran.
