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.

Sea Level Change Controlled the Sedimentary Processes at the Makran Continental Margin Over the Past 13,000 yr

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.

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.

Cenozoic Evolution of the North‐Eastern Mediterranean Basins

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The Eastern Mediterranean lies at the junction of the African, Arabian, and Eurasian plates, a region shaped by a long and complex tectonic history. While the Levant Basin in the southern sector has been extensively studied for hydrocarbon exploration, the northern domain offshore Cyprus, Turkey, Syria, and Lebanon remains less understood.

Restoring the Missing Late Cretaceous Arc of Iran

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Persistent arc magmatism archives fluid transport and mantle partial melting in subduction zones. However, arc magmatism often exhibits different magmatic records along the strike, as seen in the Tethyan orogenic belt. During Neo‐Tethys subduction under Iran, there was pulsed arc magmatism with Middle Jurassic and Eocene magmatic flare‐ups ...

Evolving Sediment Structure and Lithospheric Architecture Across the Indo‐Burman Forearc Margin From the Joint Inversion of Surface‐ and Scattered‐Wave Seismic Constraints

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract The Indo‐Burman subduction zone represents a global endmember for extreme sediment accretion and is a region characterized by ambiguous tectonic structure. The recent collection of broadband seismic data across the Indo‐Burman accretionary margin as part of the Bangladesh‐India‐Myanmar Array (BIMA) experiment provides an opportunity to ...

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

Crustal and Lithospheric Structures Beneath an Ophiolite Nappe, Southern New Caledonia, Southwest Pacific

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

Characterizing Complex Surface Ruptures in the 2013 Mw 7.7 Balochistan Earthquake Using Three‐Dimensional Displacements

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 123, Issue 11, Page 10,191-10,211, November 2018., 2018
Abstract We use satellite‐derived high‐resolution topography and orthoimages, namely, preearthquake Advanced Land Observing Satellite World 3‐D data and postearthquake Pleiades data, to retrieve 3‐D displacements in the 2013 Balochistan, Pakistan, earthquake.

Geophysical Investigations of the Fujairah Basin, East Coast of United Arab Emirates: Insights Into Tectonic Evolution

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 ...
