Pleistocene Coastal Evolution in the Makran Subduction Zone [PDF]

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019
Along the coast of the Makran subduction zone (SE Iran and SW Pakistan), active uplift combined with efficient erosion and vigorous sediment transport have led to marine terraces with unique morphology and sedimentology.

Subduction thermal state, slab metamorphism, and seismicity in the Makran Subduction Zone

Earth and Planetary Physics
The dependence of the subduction regime on three-dimensional slab geometry poses a challenge for accurately estimating the evolving thermal structure of megathrusts globally.

Seismicity and return period investigation of destructive earthquake in Makran subduction zone

Discover Geoscience
This work uses the frequency-magnitude relation for the earthquakes to analyze seismicity and return period for the earthquakes in Makran subduction and its adjacent region. The data for seismicity analysis and return period range from 1934 to 2022, with

New Constraints for the On‐Shore Makran Subduction Zone Crustal Structure [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2021
The Makran Subduction Zone is the primary seismic/tsunami hazard of the northwestern Indian Ocean, but little is known of its on‐shore seismic structure.

High interseismic coupling in the Eastern Makran (Pakistan) subduction zone [PDF]

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2015
Estimating the extent of interseismic coupling along subduction zone megathrusts is essential for quantitative assessments of seismic and tsunami hazards.

Comprehensive Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Assessment in the Makran Subduction Zone [PDF]

Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2020
In the wake of the unprecedented disaster caused by the 2004 and 2011 tsunamis, efforts by the scientific community have highlighted the important role of probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment (PTHA) in tsunami-prone areas.

Restoring the Missing Late Cretaceous Arc of Iran

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Persistent arc magmatism archives fluid transport and mantle partial melting in subduction zones. However, arc magmatism often exhibits different magmatic records along the strike, as seen in the Tethyan orogenic belt.

Holocene Sedimentary Record and Coastal Evolution in the Makran Subduction Zone (Iran) [PDF]

Quaternary, 2019
The western Makran coast displays evidence of surface uplift since at least the Late Pleistocene, but it remains uncertain whether this displacement is accommodated by creep on the subduction interface, or in a series of large earthquakes.

Extension at the coast of the Makran subduction zone (Iran)

Terra Nova, 2019
In the Makran subduction zone, earthquake focal mechanisms and geodetic data indicate that the deforming prism currently experiences N–S compression. However, palaeostress inversions performed on normal faults observed along the coast reveal local stress

Tsunami hazard and risk zoning for Qurayyat in northeast Oman coast: Worst-case credible scenarios along the Makran Subduction Zone, Western Asia

Journal of Asian Earth Sciences: X, 2022
This paper investigates the deterministic tsunami hazard scenarios to assess the potential impact on the Qurayyat coast, northeast Oman. It assesses the maximum tsunami hazard characteristics with a focus on the zoning of tsunami hazard related to the ...
