Viscous Accretionary Prisms: Viscoelastic Relaxation of the Makran Accretionary Prism Following the 2013 Baluchistan, Pakistan Earthquake [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2018 AbstractGeodetic observations of postseismic transients following earthquakes commonly help to inform the rheology of the lower crust and mantle, frictional properties of faults, and the kinematics of deformation across the earthquake cycle. Here we use interferometric synthetic aperture radar time series observations of postseismic deformation ...

The topographic signature of temperature-controlled rheological transitions in an accretionary prism [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2022 The local topographic slope of the accretionary prism is often used together with the critical taper theory to determine the effective friction on subduction megathrust.

The structure and fault activity of the Makran accretionary prism [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research, 2012 The Makran Subduction Zone has the highest incoming sediment thickness (up to 7.5 km) of any subduction zone. These sediments have formed a wide accretionary prism (∼400 km). Seismicity in the Makran is generally low; however the margin experienced an Mw 8.1 earthquake in 1945 which generated a significant regional tsunami.

Potential Bias in Inferred Megathrust Slip Rates Induced by the Neglect of Material Heterogeneity
Geophysical Research LettersAccurate knowledge of the pattern of interseismic coupling on megathrusts is critical to preparing for future earthquakes and tsunamis. However, published models for a given fault zone commonly differ widely, making hazard assessment difficult ...

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 To delineate the spatial distribution of high saturation gas hydrate reservoirs in the low-angle subduction areas of the Makran Accretionary Prism, we conducted seismic data interpretation and impedance inversion of gas hydrates in the Makran ...

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 The relationship between P‐wave velocity (Vp) and unconfined compressive strength (C0) can be used to estimate in situ rock strength and stresses at depth in subduction zones.

China Geology, 2022 The A-type granites with highly positive εNd(t) values in the West Junggar, Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), have long been perceived as a group formed under the same tectonic and geodynamic setting, magmatic sourceq and petrogenetic model. Geological

Deformation-enhanced diagenesis and bacterial proliferation in the Nankai accretionary prism [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2021 Understanding diagenetic reactions in accreted sediments is critical for establishing the balance of fluid sources and sinks in accretionary prisms, which is in turn important for assessing the fluid pressure field and the ability for faults to host ...

Scientific Reports, 2021 We propose a scheme to subdivide the Samarka terrane, a Jurassic accretionary prism fragment, into tectonostratigraphic complexes. This subdivision provides a basis to study these formations and map them on a medium- to large-scale.
