Characteristics of High Saturation Hydrate Reservoirs in the Low-Angle Subduction Area of the Makran Accretionary Prism

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
To delineate the spatial distribution of high saturation gas hydrate reservoirs in the low-angle subduction areas of the Makran Accretionary Prism, we conducted seismic data interpretation and impedance inversion of gas hydrates in the Makran ...

Diapir structure and its constraint on gas hydrate accumulation in the Makran accretionary prism, offshore Pakistan

open access: yesChina Geology, 2020
: The Makran accretionary prism is located at the junction of the Eurasian Plate, Arabian Plate and Indian Plate and is rich in natural gas hydrate (NGH) resources.

Characteristics of major and trace elements in surface sediments of the Makran Accretionary Prism, Pakistan and their implications for natural gas hydrates

open access: yesChina Geology, 2021
To accurately identify the natural gas hydrates (NGH) in the sea area of the Makran Accretionary Prism, Pakistan, this paper presents the testing and analysis of major and trace elements in sediment samples taken from two stations (S2 and S3) in the area

Surficial sedimentary properties of Makran accretionary prism and its application to natural gas hydrate distribution

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
The Makran accretionary prism (MAP) resulted from the low-angle, slow-rate subduction of the Arabian Plate beneath the Eurasian Plate. The MAP is an active continental margin, with natural gas hydrate (NGH).

Geochemistry of volcanic rocks and dykes from the Remeshk-Mokhtarabad and Fannuj-Maskutan Ophiolites (Makran Accretionary Prism, SE Iran): New constraints for magma generation in the Middle East neo-Tethys

open access: yesGeosystems and Geoenvironment, 2023
The Remeshk-Mokhtarabad and Fannuj-Maskutan ophiolites represent two major ophiolitic units in the North Makran Domain (Makran Accretionary Prism).

Controls on the geometry and evolution of thin-skinned fold-thrust belts, and applications to the Makran accretionary prism and Indo–Burman Ranges [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Journal International, 2019
The formation of fold-thrust belts at convergent margins is a dynamic process. Accretion of weak sediments to the front of the overriding plate results in crustal thickening and continued flexural subsidence of the underthrusting plate. Fold-thrust belts

Interaction between hydrocarbon seepage, chemosynthetic communities, and bottom water redox at cold seeps of the Makran accretionary prism: insights from habitat-specific pore water sampling and modeling [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2012
The interaction between fluid seepage, bottom water redox, and chemosynthetic communities was studied at cold seeps across one of the world's largest oxygen minimum zones (OMZ) located at the Makran convergent continental margin. Push cores were obtained

THE POTENTIAL OF TSUNAMI GENERATION ALONG THE MAKRAN SUBDUCTION ZONE IN THE NORTHERN ARABIAN SEA. CASE STUDY: THE EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI OF NOVEMBER 28, 1945 [PDF]

open access: yesScience of Tsunami Hazards, 2006
Although large earthquakes along the Makran Subduction Zone are infrequent, the potential for the generation of destructive tsunamis in the Northern Arabian Sea cannot be overlooked.

Mineral chemistry and chromite mineralization in the Qaranaz-Alamkandi area, west Zanjan

open access: yesJournal of Economic Geology, 2021
Introduction Malek Ghasemi and Karimzadeh Somarin (2005) reported that Chromite deposits in Iran occur in Paleozoic and Mesozoic ophiolite complexes in association with serpentinite and serpentinized peridotites and dunites (Ghazi et al., 2004; Shafaii ...
