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 PhysicsThe dependence of the subduction regime on three-dimensional slab geometry poses a challenge for accurately estimating the evolving thermal structure of megathrusts globally.

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.

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

Comprehensive Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Assessment in the Makran Subduction Zone [PDF]
Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2021 After the 2004 and 2011 tsunamis came unprecedented to the scientific community the role of probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment (PTHA) in tsunami-prone areas came to the fore. The Makran subduction zone (MSZ) is a hazardous tsunami-prone region; however, due to its low population density, it is not as prominent in literature.

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.

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.
