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

open access: yesJournal 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.

Tsunamigenic potential due to frontal rupturing in the Sumatra locked zone [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
International audienceThe Sumatra subduction zone is one of the most seismically active subduction zones. Although there have been three Mw ≥ 8.4 earthquakes in the region, including the disastrous 2004 Mw=9.2 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake, a 500 km long ...

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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Study on p‐Wave Attenuation in Hydrate‐Bearing Sediments Based on BISQ Model

open access: yesJournal of Geological Research, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
In hydrate‐bearing sediments, the elastic wave attenuation characteristics depend on the elastic properties of the sediments themselves on the one hand, and on the other hand, they also depend on the hydrate occurrence state and hydrate saturation. Since the hydrate‐bearing sediments always have high porosity, so they show significant porous medium ...

Subduction Zone Obliquity Dictates Global Trench‐Parallel Inner Forearc Deformation

open access: yesAGU 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 ...

Subduction tractions and vertical axis rotations in the Zagros-Makran transition zone, SE Iran: The 2013 May 11 Mw 6.1 Minab earthquake [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The source parameters and slip distribution of the 2013 May 11 Mw 6.1 Minab earthquake are studied using seismology, geodesy and field observations. We observe left-lateral strike-slip motion on a fault striking ENE–WSW; approximately perpendicular to ...

The admissible tsunamigenic source region of 24 September 2013 land-based earthquake application of backward ray tracing technique [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A minor tsunami of about 50 cm was generated along the coast of Qurayat near Makran subduction zone in the Arabian Sea due to the 24 September 2013 Pakistan earthquake of magnitude 7.6 Mw(mB),although its source was ~200 km far inland of the Makran ...

Early cretaceous plume–ridge interaction recorded in the band-e-zeyarat ophiolite (North Makran, Iran): New constraints from petrological, mineral chemistry, and geochronological data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The North Makran domain (southeast Iran) is part of the Makran accretionary wedge and consists of an imbricate stack of continental and Neo-Tethyan oceanic tectonic units.

Geomorphological and geochemical characterization of the 11 August 2008 mud volcano eruption at S. Barbara village (Sicily, Italy) and its possible relationship with seismic activity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
On 11 August 2008 a paroxysmal eruption occurred at Santa Barbara mud volcano (MV), located close to Caltanissetta, one of the most densely populated cities of Sicily (Italy). An associated minor event took place on August 2009.
