Strain Rates Along the Alpine‐Himalayan Belt From a Comprehensive GNSS Velocity Field

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract The Alpine‐Himalayan belt is one of Earth's most dynamic and complex regions, characterized by intense tectonic deformation and seismicity. Comprehensive analyses of continental‐scale crustal deformation and seismic hazards along this extensive orogenic belt require the compilation of large geodetic data sets.

Interseismic strain accumulation along the western boundary of the Indian subcontinent [PDF]

, 2012
Despite an overall sinistral slip rate of approximately 3 cm/yr, few major earthquakes have occurred in the past 200 years along the Chaman fault system, the western boundary of the India Plate with the Eurasia Plate.

North‐South Shear Along the West‐Lut Fault, Iran, Imaged From Burst Overlap InSAR

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract High‐resolution geodetic measurements of crustal deformation from InSAR provide crucial constraints on a region's tectonics, geodynamics, and seismic hazard. However, space‐based InSAR usually only provides good constraints on horizontal displacement in the east‐west direction, with the north‐south component typically provided by low ...

Building Disaster Resilience within the Emirati Energy Sector through a Comprehensive Strategic Mitigation Plan [PDF]

, 2013
Disasters, both natural and man-made, have been occurring with increasing frequency and effect in recent decades in many countries around the world. Such threats have been shown to result in a loss of life, property and income and all of which have an ...

Slab Tearing and Recycled Continental Sediments in the Lithospheric Mantle: Geodynamic Insights From Miocene Alkaline Rocks of the Tangra‐YumCo Rift, Southern Tibet

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 ...

REE distribution and enrichment of drainage point sediments from Makran and Lasbela, Pakistan

Kuwait Journal of Science
Rare Earth Elements (REEs) are mobile during weathering and their distribution is susceptible to both natural and anthropogenic influences. Four major drainage points in the Makran and Lasbela areas were selected for sampling to examine their REE ...

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 ...

Liomera rugata (H. Milne Edwards, 1834) (Decapoda: Xanthidae) from the Makran Coast: a new contribution to the decapod fauna of Pakistan

Journal of Fauna Biodiversity
The present study documents the first confirmed record of the xanthid crab Liomera rugata (H. Milne Edwards, 1834) (Crustacea: Decapoda: Xanthidae) from the rocky intertidal shores of Sistag, Jiwani, along the Makran coast. Identification was established

Spontaneous Transient Summit Uplift at Taftan Volcano (Makran Subduction Arc) Imaged Using an InSAR Common‐Mode Filtering Method

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).

Transfer of Strontium and Carbon From Subducting Sediment Into the Leading Edge of the Mantle Wedge

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract Carbon mobilization at subduction zones can be constrained by focusing on Sr as a proxy, as Sr readily substitutes for Ca—a major cation in the crystal structures of carbonates. Unmelted high/ultrahigh pressure (HP/UHP) pelitic metasediments exhumed from less than 100 km depth along the slab‐mantle interface show loss of Sr and retention of ...
