Power‐Law Viscoelastic Flow of the Lower Accretionary Prism in the Makran Subduction Zone Following the 2013 Baluchistan Earthquake

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2022
Subduction zone accretionary prisms are commonly modeled as elastic structures where permanent deformation is accommodated by faulting and folding of otherwise elastic materials, yet accretionary prisms may exhibit other deformation styles over ...

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 ...

Probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment for the makran subduction zone using logic tree and stochastic rupture sources

Coastal Engineering Journal
The Makran Subduction Zone (MSZ) in the northwestern Indian Ocean can generate large tsunamigenic thrust earthquakes affecting the coastal regions of Pakistan, Iran, Oman, and western India.

Deterministic Tsunami Hazard Assessment for the Eastern Coast of the United Arab Emirates: Insights from the Makran Subduction Zone

Sustainability
Tsunamis are destructive oceanic hazards caused by underwater disturbances, mainly earthquakes. A deterministic tsunami hazard assessment for the United Arab Emirates (UAE), due to the Makran Subduction Zone (MSZ), was conducted based on the history of ...

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 ...

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

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.

Pn -velocity structure beneath Arabia–Eurasia Zagros collision and Makran subduction zones

Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2014
Abstract We use Pn -tomography to map lithospheric mantle velocity and anisotropy at the Arabia–Eurasia plate boundary, namely Makran and Zagros. We use catalogue events recorded by Oman, UAE, Saudi Arabia and Iran networks, the International Seismological Centre and the National Earthquake Information ...

The probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment along Karnataka Coast from Makran Subduction Zone, west coast of India

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2018
Coastal tsunami amplitudes were calculated to identify areas susceptible to tsunami hazard at selected locations of the coast of Karnataka, west of India, due to earthquakes in the Makran Subduction Zone. This is the first time that the probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment along this study area has been attempted.
