Tectonic and Structural Framework of the Zagros Fold-Thrust Belt

Ali Farzipour Saein is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geology at the University of Isfahan (Iran), where he has worked since 2009. From 1997 to 2001, he served as a Senior Geologist and Manager in different mining governmental and private companies. In 2012, he was a visiting researcher at the Hans Ramberg Tectonic Laboratory, Uppsala University (Sweden). He received a B.S. from Shahid Beheshti University in 1998 in geology and an M.S. from Tarbiat Modares University. He received a Ph.D. in tectonics from Tarbiat Modares University in 2009. From 2001 to 2009, he worked at the National Iranian Oil Company, Tehran, as a Senior Surface Geologist. His research interest is in applied structural geology analysis based on remote sensing, modeling, and surface and subsurface data. Associate Professor Ali Farzipour Saein is the author of several papers on structural geology.
