Recent sedimentary processes along the Makran trench (Makran active margin, off Pakistan)
Marine Geology, 2010Abstract A geophysical and geological survey (CHAMAK) has been carried out on the Makran accretionary wedge off Pakistan in order to understand the structure of the margin and the recent sedimentary processes in this self-maintaining prism disconnected from the modern Indus inputs (Qayyum et al., 1997; Gaedicke et al., 2002a; Schluter et al., 2002).

Tsunamigenic Analysis in and around Makran
Journal of Earthquake Engineering, 2014The Makran region is only segment east of the Mediterranean and west of Andaman arc in which subduction of oceanic lithosphere is still an ongoing process. We applied statistical models for the possible explanation of earthquakes in and around Makran, and described a method of Fault Plane Solutions to present seismicity picture in the investigated ...

A summary of the geology of the Iranian Makran
Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2002Abstract The Iranian Makran has been entirely mapped geologically on a scale of 1:250 000, except for a narrow coastal strip, which exposes the very youngest Cenozoic sediments of the main Makran accretionary prism. The geology of the Makran is less widely known than the geology of Oman, because it has been published in detail only in reports

A recent faulting episode in the Iranian Makran
Tectonophysics, 1978Abstract The identification of a twofold chronology for the Quaternary alluvial deposits of Iranian Makran makes it possible to give limiting ages to some of the recent movements that have affected parts of the Zendan fault belt. One such faulting episode has been dated by this method to the period 7000-1250 yr BP.

Sediment dewatering in the Makran accretionary prism
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 1985Abstract Sediments within the Makran accretionary prism are considerably more compacted than the material entering the subduction zone due to the additional tectonic stresses resulting from plate convergence and accretionary processes. Tectonic compaction of the offscraped sediments has been documented by deriving in-situ porosities in the upper 4 km

Harappan Outposts on the Makran Coast
Antiquity, 1962The widespread remains of the Indus Valley or Harappan civilization—contemporaneous in part with the great civilizations of Mesopotamia and Egypt—present at first glance a picture of sterile isolationism. Yet none of the great civilizations of the world originated or thrived in a cultural and economic vacuum.

Les ichthyophages du Makran (Bélouchistan, Pakistan)
Paléorient, 2005Dès la fin du Ve millénaire ВС, et surtout au IVe et au IIIe, les relations entre les populations des côtes du Makran (Bélouchistan, Pakistan) avec les sites de l 'intérieur, tels Miri Qalat et Shahi Тumр, sont désormais bien attestées grâce à l'dentification des restes fauniques marins (poissons et coquillages) retrouvés dans un contexte civil ou ...

Makran of Iran and Pakistan as an active arc system
Geology, 1977The character of convergence along the Arabian-Iranian plate boundary changes radically eastward from the Zagros ranges to the Makran region. This appears to be due to collision of continental crust on the west in contrast to subduction of oceanic crust on the east.

This book was the result of lifetime research studies both on the field and through archival and literature sources, conducted in Europe, Pakistan, Sultanate of Oman, and Zanzibar-Tanzania. In this study, I tried to focus on more than one littoral and on more than one region inside the Indian Ocean, with the object of analysing different perspectives ...
