Morphotectonics of the central Muertos thrust belt and Muertos Trough (northeastern Caribbean) [PDF]
Multibeam bathymetry data acquired during the 2005 Spanish R/V Hespérides cruise and reprocessed multichannel seismic profiles provide the basis for the analysis of the morphology and deformation in the central Muertos Trough and Muertos thrust belt ...

Ridge subduction at an erosive margin - the collision zone of the Nazca Ridge in southern Peru [PDF]
The 1.5-km-high, obliquely subducting Nazca Ridge and its collision zone with the Peruvian margin have been imaged by wide-angle and reflection seismic profiles, swath bathymetry, and gravity surveying.

The 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 ...

Probabilistic seismic hazard maps for the sultanate of Oman [PDF]
This study presents the results of the first probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) in the framework of logic tree for Oman. The earthquake catalogue was homogenized, declustered, and used to define seismotectonic source model that characterizes ...

A New Tsunami Hazard Assessment for Eastern Makran Subduction Zone by Considering Splay Faults and Applying Stochastic Modeling [PDF]
Tsunami hazard imposed by possible rupture of splay faults is important as it may significantly intensify tsunami heights locally. The Makran Subduction Zone (MSZ) in the northwestern Indian Ocean can generate large thrust earthquakes that could trigger ...

Restoring the Missing Late Cretaceous Arc of Iran
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 ...

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 ...

Sumatra Seismogenic Zone - The role of input materials in shallow seismogenic slip and forearc plateau development [PDF]
Drilling the input materials of the north Sumatran subduction zone, part of the 5000 km long Sunda subduction zone system and the origin of the Mw ~9.2 earthquake and tsunami that devastated coastal communities around the Indian Ocean in 2004, was ...

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
