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

open access: yesNatural 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 ...

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

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 ...

Modeling the near-field effects of the worst-case tsunami in the Makran subduction zone

Ocean Engineering, 2009
Abstract As a first step towards the development of inundation maps for the northwestern Indian Ocean, we simulated the near-field inundation of two large tsunami in the Makran subduction zone (MSZ). The tsunami scenarios were based on large historical earthquakes in the region.

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

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. This margin has been relatively understudied, and this thesis presents a new, detailed structural and hydrological interpretation and seismogenic hazard assessment for the
