- Studying the crustal deformation using GPS measurements;
- Studying the Paleoseismology along active fault escarpments;
- Studying the tectonic stress in different regions of Iran;
- Accurate identification and segmentation of active faults for use in earthquake hazard assessment in engineering sites and buildings.
