Interaction between accretionary thrust faulting and slope sedimentation at the frontal Makran accretionary prism and its implications for hydrocarbon fluid seepage [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 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, accumulation and seepage of hydrocarbon‐rich fluids.

3-D lithospheric structure and regional/residual Bouguer anomalies in the Arabia-Eurasia collision (Iran) [PDF]
, 2013 The aim of this work is to propose a first-order estimate of the crustal and lithospheric mantle geometry of the Arabia-Eurasia collision zone and to separate the measured Bouguer anomaly into its regional and local components.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 125, Issue 3, March 2020., 2020 Abstract Climate change, sea level fluctuations, and tectonic uplift play key roles in the evolution of sedimentary systems on continental margins. In the Arabian Sea, the Makran continental margin is suitable for studying these processes during the Holocene due to its high sedimentation rate and continuous sequence of Holocene sediments.
