Pleistocene Coastal Evolution in the Makran Subduction Zone [PDF]
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019 Along the coast of the Makran subduction zone (SE Iran and SW Pakistan), active uplift combined with efficient erosion and vigorous sediment transport have led to marine terraces with unique morphology and sedimentology. These terraces are characterized by the systematic presence of an extensive 1–10+m thick sandstone layer capping their wave-cut base.
