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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Subduction Zone Obliquity Dictates Global Trench‐Parallel Inner Forearc Deformation

AGU Advances, Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract Although subduction zones are characterized by convergence, the upper plates of subduction zones exhibit a diverse range of deformation styles that are often inconsistent with regional convergence. While several theories have been proposed to explain these variations, the underlying factors driving these differences are still not fully ...

Deformation history and processes during accretion of seamounts in subduction zones: The example of the Durkan Complex (Makran, SE Iran) [PDF]

, 2023
The Durkan Complex is a tectonic element of the Makran Accretionary Prism (SE Iran) that includes fragments of Late Cretaceous seamounts. In this paper, the results of map- to micro-scale structural studies of the western Durkan Complex are presented ...

Data from: 3D shear-wave velocity model of central Makran using ambient-noise adjoint tomography

, 2023
The Makran subduction zone is unique in its wide onshore thick accretionary prism, and a volcanic arc not parallel to the E-W trend of the Makran accretionary prism.
