Bricks and urbanism in the Indus Valley rise and decline [PDF]
, 2014 The Indus Civilization, often denoted by its major city Harappa, spanned almost two millennia from 3200 to 1300 BC. Its tradition reaches back to 7000 BC: a 5000 year long expansion of villages and towns, of trading activity, and of technological ...

Deterministic seismic hazard assessment for Sultanate of Oman [PDF]
, 2016 The Sultanate of Oman forms the southeastern part of the Arabian plate, which is surrounded by relatively high active tectonic zones. Studies of seismic risk assessment in Oman have been an important on-going socioeconomic concern.

Earth's rotation variability triggers explosive eruptions in subduction zones [PDF]
, 2015 The uneven Earth’s spinning has been reported to affect geological processes, i.e. tectonism, seismicity and volcanism, on a planetary scale. Here, we show that changes of the length of day (LOD) influence eruptive activity at subduction margins ...

Sensitivity Analysis of the Thermal Structure Within Subduction Zones Using Reduced‐Order Modeling
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 5, May 2025.Abstract Megathrust earthquakes are the largest on Earth, capable of causing strong ground shaking and generating tsunamis. Physical models used to understand megathrust earthquake hazard are limited by existing uncertainties about material properties and governing processes in subduction zones.

The 2013 M_w 7.7 Balochistan Earthquake: Seismic Potential of an Accretionary Wedge [PDF]
, 2014 Great earthquakes rarely occur within active accretionary prisms, despite the intense long‐term deformation associated with the formation of these geologic structures.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 5, May 2025.Abstract To understand ophiolite emplacement mechanisms in New Caledonia, southwest Pacific, we image crustal and lithospheric structures beneath southern Grande Terre, using seismic waveform data from a network (ITOPNC) of permanent and temporary stations (October 2018–November 2019). Surface wave dispersion indicates a 1–2 km thick ophiolite nappe on

Faunal diversity of Paederus Fabricius, 1775 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) in Iran [PDF]
, 2012 Beetles of the genus Paederus sensu stricto Fabricius, 1775 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) are often noticed because of their potency in inducing a dermal lesion, so-called linear dermatitis.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 4, April 2025.Abstract The Fujairah basin in the Gulf of Oman experienced a complex tectonic evolution related to Late Cretaceous ophiolite obduction and Oligocene‐Miocene Zagros continental collision. The structure of the foreland basin in Oman‐UAE is well‐known, but the structure and evolution of the hinterland basin behind the obducted ophiolite and underlying ...
