Low heat flow from young oceanic lithosphere at the Middle America Trench off Mexico

, 2005
Seismic reflection profiles across the Middle America Trench at 20°N show a high amplitude bottom simulating reflector interpreted as marking a phase transition between methane hydrate and free gas in the pore space of both accreted and trench sediments.

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]

Science 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.

Offshore Frontal Part of the Makran Accretionary Prism: The Chamak Survey (Pakistan)

, 2007
The Makran accretionary prism developed in the north-western part of the Indian Ocean as a consequence of the subduction of the Arabian Sea since Late Cretaceous times.

The distinct morphologic signature of underplating and seamounts in accretionary prisms, insights from thermomechanical modeling applied to Coastal Iranian Makran

, 2022
International audienceThe active structures of the Iranian Makran, especially the presence of normal faults, vary laterally in the upper plate of the subduction zone, and their relationship with the deep duplexes and seamounts at depth remains unknown ...

80 Years of research on tsunamigenic earthquakes in the Makran subduction zone (1945–2025): a review- Part A: MSZ features

Frontiers in Earth Science
The Makran Subduction Zone (MSZ) gained wide interest following the 1945 tsunamigenic earthquake. This three-part (A, B, and C) review provides a comprehensive and multidisciplinary synthesis of 80 years of research on tsunamigenic earthquakes associated

Interaction between accretionary thrust faulting and slope sedimentation at the frontal Makran accretionary prism and its implications for hydrocarbon fluid seepage

, 2010
Using high?resolution seismic profiles and other geophysical data, collected during R/V Meteor Cruise M74/2, we investigate the distribution patterns of shallow sediments, their structure and deformation processes, and their role in the migration ...

Possible Jurassic age for part of Rakaia Terrane: implications for tectonic development of the Torlesse accretionary prism [PDF]

, 2001
Greywacke sandstone and argillite beds comprising Rakaia Terrane (Torlesse Complex) in mid Canterbury, South Island, New Zealand, are widely regarded as Late Triassic (Norian) in age based on the occurrence of Torlessia trace fossils, Monotis, and other ...

The journey of the Band-e-Zeyarat ophiolite (Makran Accretionary Wedge, SE Iran) from the mid-ocean ridge to the accretionary complex: New insights from its sedimentary cover and associated basaltic dykes and sills

, 2023
The Band-e-Zeyarat ophiolite (BEZO) sedimentary cover in the Makran Accretionary Prism (SE Iran) records a complex tectono-sedimentary evolution, extending from its formation at a mid-ocean ridge (MOR) setting to deformation in an accretionary prism ...

The Durkan Complex in the western Makran Accretionary Prism (SE Iran): Evidence for a Late Cretaceous tectonically disrupted oceanic seamount

, 2020
T he Makran Accretionary Prism (SE of Iran) represents the less known segment of the Alpine-Himalayan orogenic system. It results from the Cretaceous to present-day convergence between the Arabian and Eurasian plates that was accommodated by the ...

Fault-based probabilistic seismic hazard assessment of the eastern Makran subduction and the Chaman transform fault, Pakistan: Emphasis on the source characterization of megathrust

, 2021
Seismic source characterization (SSC) for probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) in regions characterized by subduction megathrust involves a considerable ambiguity.
