Tectonics of the Papua‐Woodlark Region

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 22, Issue 1, January 2021., 2021
Abstract The Papua‐Woodlark region exemplifies many plate tectonic processes, from active continental breakup to double plunging subduction zones. We present a synthesis of geological and geophysical data from the region and interpret these data to characterize the present plate boundaries.

A review of the seismotectonics of the Makran Subduction Zone as a baseline for Tsunami Hazard Assessments

Geoscience Letters, 2019
The Makran Accretionary Wedge (900 km across) is a consequence of northward subduction of the oceanic part of the Arabian Plate beneath the Lut and Afghan blocks in the northwestern Indian Ocean.

a geophysical and geological study in the southern Gulf of Mexico and at the frontal Makran Accretionary prism, Pakistan [PDF]

, 2009
The major objective of the study is to investigate how near-surface sediment structures and other geological aspects control the nature and occurrence of cold fluid seepage. Mainly high resolution multichannel seismic data and swatch bathymetry data were

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 ...

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.
