The main purpose of the present study is to develop a comprehensive
Moho depth map and crust and upper mantle velocity model for Iran.
This will allow for more precise computation of travel time and
thereby also more precise hypocenter estimation of the recorded
events in Iran.
For this purpose all available depth and velocity data relevant to
this region has been matched and compiled. In the locations that there
were no local data, available global data has been replaced. Based on
these results Iran has been divided into 8 regions of varying seismicity
and velocity structure
