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

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 ...

Abstract We present the development and laboratory evaluation of RPiPIV, an underwater particle image velocimetry (PIV) system controlled by a Raspberry Pi. Designed specifically to measure bubble characteristics and bubble‐induced flow in natural hydrocarbon seeps, RPiPIV comprises three primary pressure enclosures, housing a consumer‐grade laser for ...

Abstract Quantifying the vertical distribution of dissolved gases entering the oceans from natural seeps is important to understand biogeochemical cycling of these gases and to constrain their emissions to the atmosphere. The fate and transport of gas bubbles in seawater depend on their rise velocity and their rate of mass exchange with ambient water ...

Biogeographic Patterns of Iranian Lepidoptera: A Framework for Conservation
ABSTRACT Aim The contact zone of three zoogeographic realms, the Palearctic, Saharo‐Arabian and Oriental, is an evolutionary cradle of high species richness and endemism in Iran. In this study, we investigate statistically inferred bioregions of Lepidoptera in this region.

Tsunami hazard assessment along Diba-Oman and Diba-Al-Emirates coasts
Tsunami is among the most devastating natural hazards phenomenon responsible for significant loss of life and property throughout history. The Sultanate of Oman and United Arab Emirates are among the Indian Ocean countries that were subjected to one ...

Abstract The obduction of the Tethys oceanic lithosphere is documented by the Semail ophiolite along the northeastern Arabian continental margin. Although the ophiolite is continuous and of similar age across the region, the eastern and western segments display distinct geological contrasts.

Subduction Zone Obliquity Dictates Global Trench‐Parallel Inner Forearc Deformation
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 ...
