An assessment of the tsunami risk in Muscat and Salalah, Oman, based on estimations of probable maximum loss [PDF]
, 2016 We present a method for determining an initial assessment of tsunami risk, with application for two coastal areas of Oman. Using open source GIS and seismic databases we carry out a tsunami risk assessment using a deterministic and probabilistic approach

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 11, November 2025.Abstract Mantle metasomatism is a common phenomenon in convergent margins; however, metasomatism by subducted sediments and their role in alkaline magma generation remain poorly understood. Alkaline rocks from the Tangra‐YumCo rift (TYR) in southern Tibet show a unique geochemical composition among post‐collisional volcanic rocks of the Lhasa terrane ...

Stochastic Analysis of Tsunami Hazard of the 1945 Makran Subduction Zone Mw 8.1–8.3 Earthquakes
Geosciences, 2020 Historical records of major earthquakes in the northwestern Indian Ocean along the Makran Subduction Zone (MSZ) indicate high potential tsunami hazards for coastal regions of Pakistan, Iran, Oman, and western India.

Pottery Making in the First Oases: Comparison Between Bat and Bisya Domestic and Tower Assemblages
Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, Volume 36, Issue 1, Page 81-107, November 2025.ABSTRACT The earliest known significant pottery production in Oman appears in the first oases of the Hajar mountains southern foothills during the Umm an‐Nar period (ca. 2700–2000 bc) of the third millennium bc. Despite the history of ceramic research in southeast Arabia, the modalities of the establishment and organisation of this craft are little ...

Possible inundation map of coastal areas of gujarat with a tsunamigenic earthquake [PDF]
, 2007 The western Indian peninsula experienced the most destructive tsunami ever recorded in the Arabian Sea by the 28th November 1945 earthquake (Mw 8.1) in Makran region. The run-up height during the tsunami was of 17m at Makran coast and 11 to 11.5m in Gulf

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 19, 16 October 2025.Abstract We unambiguously document unrest at Taftan volcano. Summit uplift was detected using Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar time series and its timing tightly constrained applying a new common mode filtering method. Uplift started and ended gradually lasting 10 months (July 2023 to May 2024).

Subduction tractions and vertical axis rotations in the Zagros-Makran transition zone, SE Iran: The 2013 May 11 M
, 2015 The source parameters and slip distribution of the 2013 May 11 Mw 6.1 Minab earthquake are studied using seismology, geodesy and field observations. We observe left-lateral strike-slip motion on a fault striking ENE–WSW; approximately perpendicular to ...

Makran continental margin sedimentation during the Late Holocene [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2019 Sedimentation in the Makran active margin is governed by a complex interaction of atmospheric, tectonics, and hydrodynamic setting of the northern flank of the Gulf of Oman. The mixed clastic carbonate sediments in the tectonically and hydrodynamically active environment have complicated the distribution pattern.
