Seismic imaging of the lithospheric structures in the Iranian Makran subduction zone
2023The 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 ...

Geodetic investigations of permanent earthquake-cycle deformation at the Makran subduction zone
2022In 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 ...

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.

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, 2009The 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.

Structure of the Makran subduction zone from wide-angle and reflection seismic data
Tectonophysics, 2000Abstract Makran is one of the largest accretionary wedges on the globe, formed by the convergence between the Eurasian and the Arabian Plates. It is characterised by an extremely high sediment input of 7 km and a shallow subduction angle. We present seismic velocity models from four wide-angle seismic lines that image the wedge sediments and the ...
