Deep structure of the western coast of the Makran subduction zone, SE Iran

Tectonophysics, 2020
Abstract The Makran subduction zone is one of the world's least well documented active subduction zones. We investigate the geometry of subsurface velocity interfaces across the western coastal Makran by means of teleseismic data for the first time. The data were gathered by two permanent and four temporary seismic stations.

Seismotectonic and seismicity of Makran, a bimodal subduction zone, SE Iran

Journal of Asian Earth Sciences, 2019
Abstract The present study combined spatial distribution and mechanism of seismicity, seismicity parameters, geomorphology in satellite imagery and tectonic features in Makran inland to show that the Makran low angle thrust fault is divided into two separate segments. Depth dispersal of earthquakes, especially relocated events, shows that the sinking

Seismic imaging of the lithospheric structures in the Iranian Makran subduction zone

2023
The Makran subduction zone (MSZ) is located in between the Zagros mountain belt to the west and Himalayan orogen to the east, forming a transition from oceanic subduction to continental collision on both sides along the Tethyan orogenic belt. The Arabian oceanic plate, a narrow remnant of the Neotethys ocean, is subducting northward beneath the ...

A probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment for the Makran subduction zone at the northwestern Indian Ocean [PDF]

Natural Hazards, 2010
A probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment is performed for the Makran subduction zone (MSZ) at the northwestern Indian Ocean employing a combination of probability evaluation of offshore earthquake occurrence and numerical modeling of resulting tsunamis.

A geophysical potential field study to image the Makran subduction zone in SE of Iran

Tectonophysics, 2016
Abstract The Makran subduction wedge as one of the largest subduction complexes has been forming due to the Arabian oceanic lithosphere subducting beneath the Lut and the Afghan rigid block microplates. To better visualize the subducting oceanic crust in this region, a geophysical model of magnetic susceptibility from an airborne magnetic survey ...

The hazard potential of the western segment of the Makran subduction zone, northern Arabian Sea

Natural Hazards, 2012
Evaluating the hazard potential of the Makran subduction zone requires understanding the previous records of the large earthquakes and tsunamis. We address this problem by searching for earthquake and tectonic proxies along the Makran Coast and linking those observations with the available constraints on historical seismicity and the tell-tale ...

An investigation on possibilty of creep on the Makran subduction zone based on deformation data

2020
<p>Long term crustal flow of the Makran subduction zone is computed with a kinematic finite element model based on iterated weighted least squares fits to data. Data include 91 fault traces, 56 fault offset rates, 76 geodetic velocities, 1962 principal stress azimuths, and velocity boundary conditions.

Geodetic investigations of permanent earthquake-cycle deformation at the Makran subduction zone

2022
In many numerical modeling studies of the Earth system. Crustal deformation in response to earthquake rupture is assumed to be an elastic process, where earthquake-induced strain is recoverable after several earthquake cycles. Inelastic deformation, or permanent damages caused by the earthquake are ignored in under the elastic assumption, leading to ...

Far-Field Effects of Large Tsunamis Produced by the Makran Subduction Zone

Volume 4: Ocean Engineering; Ocean Renewable Energy; Ocean Space Utilization, Parts A and B, 2009
The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami which exported death and destruction to far distant shores, once more emphasized the tsunami hazards associated with transoceanic tsunamis. Historical records of tsunamis in the Makran subduction zone (MSZ) reveal that Makran tsunamis are capable of producing large waves in the far-field.
