Dating and morphostratigraphy of uplifted marine terraces in the Makran subduction zone (Iran) [PDF]
, 2018 Abstract. The western part of the Makran subduction zone (Iran) has not experienced a great megathrust earthquake in recent human history, yet, the presence of emerged marine terraces along the coast indicates that the margin has been tectonically active during at least the late Quaternary.

Analogue Experiments of Subduction vs. Collision Processes: Insights for the Iranian Tectonics
, 2005 We investigate, using laboratory experiments, the behavior of subduction-collision transition. These experiments help understanding of the tectonics at the transition between the Zagros collision ranges and the Makran emerged accretionary prism in south ...

Crustal structure of the Murray Ridge, northwest Indian Ocean, from wide-angle seismic data [PDF]
, 2015 The Murray Ridge/Dalrymple Trough system forms the boundary between the Indian and Arabian plates in the northern Arabian Sea. Geodetic constraints from the surrounding continents suggest that this plate boundary is undergoing oblique extension at a rate

Basin Research, Volume 37, Issue 1, January–February 2025.Sediment delivery to the northern Hikurangi Trough has been driven by transverse gravity flows funnelled through the Māhia Canyon, alongside contributions from the overspill of the axial Hikurangi Channel. Large‐scale sediment waves and scours were formed by flows from the Māhia Canyon during MIS2 in response to substantially higher sediment fluxes ...

Possible inundation map of coastal areas of gujarat with a tsunamigenic earthquake [PDF]
, 2007 The western Indian peninsula experienced the most destructive tsunami ever recorded in the Arabian Sea by the 28th November 1945 earthquake (Mw 8.1) in Makran region. The run-up height during the tsunami was of 17m at Makran coast and 11 to 11.5m in Gulf

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 129, Issue 8, August 2024.Abstract Increases in temperature and pressure caused by rapid burial of sediments seaward of the Sumatra subduction zone have been hypothesized to trigger dehydration reactions that diagenetically strengthen sediments and contribute to the formation of an over‐pressured pre‐décollement, which together facilitate the occurrence of large shallow ...

A Detailed Reconstruction of the Woodlark Basin
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 25, Issue 7, July 2024.Abstract An animated 100,000‐year‐interval tectonic reconstruction of the Woodlark Basin in the southwest Pacific illustrates how, at intermediate initial spreading rates, orogenic continents break up (dyke model), spreading segments nucleate, transform faults initiate and ocean basins evolve. We refine the location/timing of initial seafloor spreading

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

Backstop geometry and accretionary mechanics of the Sunda margin [PDF]
, 2003 The convergent Sunda margin off Indonesia displays all geological features characteristic of an accretion-dominated subduction zone. A combined interpretation of prestack depth-migrated seismic reflection data and velocity information gained from ...
