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.

Subduction thermal state, slab metamorphism, and seismicity in the Makran Subduction Zone
Earth and Planetary PhysicsThe dependence of the subduction regime on three-dimensional slab geometry poses a challenge for accurately estimating the evolving thermal structure of megathrusts globally.

Dating and morpho-stratigraphy of uplifted marine terraces in the Makran subduction zone (Iran) [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2019 The western part of the Makran subduction zone (Iran) is currently experiencing active surface uplift, as attested by the presence of emerged marine terraces along the coast.

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

Deformational pattern and seismogenic potential of the eastern Makran subduction zone [PDF]
Journal of Asian Earth Sciences, 2022 In last 500 years, the ∼900 km long Makran subduction zone (MSZ) has hosted 9 M7+ large earthquakes, and 8 of them activated the eastern segment of the fault. The 1945 M 8.1 megathrust event also generated significant tsunami signifying the region as active subduction zone in the world.

New Constraints for the On‐Shore Makran Subduction Zone Crustal Structure [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2022 AbstractThe Makran Subduction Zone is the primary seismic/tsunami hazard of the northwestern Indian Ocean, but little is known of its on‐shore seismic structure. We derived a shear wave velocity model extending to 100 km depth beneath a ∼400 km‐long seismic profile oriented parallel to the convergence vector of the Arabian Sea Plate.

Probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment for the Makran region with focus on maximum magnitude assumption [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2016 Despite having been rather seismically quiescent for the last decades, the Makran subduction zone is capable of hosting destructive earthquakes and tsunami.

Geosciences, 2020 For the first time, Quaternary thrusts are documented within the Central Oman Mountains to the northwest of the Jabal Akhdar Dome. Thrusts with a throw of up to 1.1 m displace Quaternary alluvial fan conglomerates.

THE 326 BC EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI IN THE NORTHERN ARABIAN SEA - IMPACT ON THE FLEET OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT [PDF]
Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2022 Ancient Greek and Indian texts support that destructive sea waves along the Makran coast in the northern Arabian Sea were responsible for the partial destruction of Alexander the Great’s fleet in 326 BC.
