Iranshahr blueschist: subduction of the inner Makran oceanic crust

open access: yes, 2017
The Makran accretionary prism in SE Iran and SW Pakistan is one of the most extensive subduction accretions on Earth. It is characterized by intense folding, thrust faulting and dislocation of the Cenozoic units that consist of sedimentary, igneous and ...

3D joint inversion of gravity data and Rayleigh wave group velocities to resolve shear-wave velocity and density structure in the Makran subduction zone, south-east Iran

open access: yes, 2019
International audienceIn this study, we developed a method to invert jointly Rayleigh wave group velocities and gravity anomalies for velocity and density structure of the lithosphere. We applied the method to the Makran accretionary prism, SE Iran.

Stratigraphic and petrological data on the Late Cretaceous Durkan Complex (North Makran domain, SE Iran): an example of plume-type ophiolite

open access: yes, 2022
Ophiolitic basaltic and metabasaltic rocks are widespread within accretionary and collisional belts and their tectono-stratigraphic setting and petrological features are sensitive to different geodynamic settings of formation.

Geochemistry and magmatic petrology of meta-ophiolites from the Bajgan Complex (Makran Accretionary Prism, SE Iran): new insights on the nature of the Early Cretaceous Middle East Neotethys

open access: yes
The Bajgan Complex in the North Makran Domain (Makran Accretionary Prism) comprises disrupted meta-ophiolitic sequences originating from oceanic crust protoliths. They include ultramafic and mafic cumulates, isotropic gabbros, plagiogranites and basalts.

Concentration of archaeal intact polar lipids (IPLs) of ROV sediment core GeoB12315-9

open access: yes, 2012
Here we report the amount of archaeal cardiolipins analogues in a cold seep off Pakistan (Makran accretionary prism). The published data (Yoshinaga et al., 2012) describes a series of tentatively identified cardiolipin analogues (dimeric phospholipids or

Accommodation of Arabia-Eurasia convergence in the Zagros-Makran transfer zone, SE Iran: A transition between collision and subduction through a young deforming system

open access: yes, 2004
International audienceAt Iranian longitude, the Arabian plate is moving northward relative to Eurasia (∼20 mm yr-1 according to GPS). To the east, this relative motion is accommodated by northward subduction under the E-W Makran emerged accretionary ...

Short-term deformation of accretionary prism, the role of mechanical and thermal inheritance. Application to Makran

open access: yes
Déformation court terme des prismes d'accrétion, le rôle de l'héritage thermique et mécanique : application au Makran Les données GPS indiquent que la subduction accumule des contraintes qui devraient être libérées lors de futurs séismes, Makran potentiel sismogénique est très mal contraint.

The structure, fluid distribution and earthquake potential of the Makran Subduction Zone, Pakistan

open access: yes, 2013
The Makran subduction zone (offshore Pakistan and Iran) has the largest accretionary prism of any margin worldwide, formed due to the thick incoming sediment section of up to 7.5 km.
