Selection and Modification of Ground Motion Prediction Equations for Makran Subduction Zone, Southeast Iran

Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2021
The Iranian Plateau is considered mostly as a shallow crustal area, except the Makran region in southeast Iran where subduction events can occur. Because of the tectonic characteristics of the Makran subduction zone, different categories of ground motion prediction equations (GMPEs) are required for seismic hazard assessment, including GMPEs for ...

A new tsunami hazard assessment for eastern Makran subduction zone by considering splay faults and applying stochastic modeling

Coastal Engineering Journal, 2022
Tsunami hazard imposed by possible rupture of splay faults is important as it may significantly intensify tsunami heights locally. The Makran Subduction Zone (MSZ) in the northwestern Indian Ocean can generate large thrust earthquakes that could trigger ...

Tsunami potential in the Makran subduction zone: Amplification effects from earthquake rupture directivity and speed

Terra Nova, 2023
The Makran subduction zone has historically experienced major earthquakes and tsunamis. Here, we integrate fault morphology, InSAR measurements, and high‐resolution bathymetry to quantitively evaluate potential future tsunami sources and tsunami wave ...

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.

Limited arc magmatism and seismicity due to extensive mantle wedge serpentinization in the Makran subduction zone

Earth and Planetary Science Letters
Highlights • We present a new integrated seismic, magnetic, gravity and isostatic model across the Makran subduction zone. • Slow low-angle Makran subduction has 60–65% serpentinization in the peridotitic shallow mantle wedge. • A large volume of rheologically weak serpentinite reduces seismicity by lowering the slab friction.
