TSUNAMIGENIC SOURCES IN THE INDIAN OCEAN [PDF]

Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2008
Based on an assessment of the repeat periods of great earthquakes from past seismicity, convergence rates and paleoseismological results, possible future source zones of tsunami generating earthquakes in the Indian Ocean (possible seismic gap areas) are ...

Reevaluating historical tsunami hazards from the Makran subduction zone and local seismic sources along the Western Indian margin through numerical modelling

Geoscience Letters
The western coast of India is highly vulnerable to tsunami hazards due to its geographical proximity to the Makran Subduction Zone (MSZ), one of the most seismically active margins of the northern Indian Ocean.

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.

Tsunami heights and limits in 1945 along the Makran coast estimated from testimony gathered 7 decades later in Gwadar, Pasni and Ormara [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2021
The towns of Pasni and Ormara were the most severely affected by the 1945 Makran tsunami. The water inundated land for almost 1 km at Pasni, engulfing 80 % of the huts of the town, while at Ormara the tsunami inundated land for 2.5 km, washing away 60 ...

IS MAKRAN A SEPARATE MICROPLATE? A SHORT REVIEW [PDF]

Malaysian Journal of Geosciences, 2021
Makran Subduction Zone (MZS) is important as this region lies on both sides of the border of Iran and Pakistan along the coastline. Makran Subduction complex has pervasive seismicity and diverse focal mechanism solutions and being in the vicinity of ...

ASSESSMENT OF OPTIMUM VALUE FOR DIP ANGLE AND LOCKING RATE PARAMETERS IN MAKRAN SUBDUCTION ZONE [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2017
Makran subduction zone is one of the convergent areas that have been studied by spatial geodesy. Makran zone is located in the South Eastern of Iran and South of Pakistan forming the part of Eurasian-Arabian plate's border where oceanic crust in the ...

Seismic hazard of the western Makran subduction zone: Insight from mechanical modelling and inferred frictional properties [PDF]

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2021
Abstract Western Makran is one of the few subduction zones left with a largely unconstrained seismogenic potential. According to the sparse GPS stations, the subduction is accumulating some strain to be released during future earthquakes. To enhance the seismic hazard assessment, we here propose to study the finite deformation of the western Makran ...

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.

Megathrust and accretionary wedge properties and behaviour in the Makran subduction zone [PDF]

Geophysical Journal International, 2017
We study the Makran subduction zone, along the southern coasts of Iran and Pakistan, to gain insights into the kinematics and dynamics of accretionary prism deformation. By combining techniques from seismology, geodesy and geomorphology, we are able to put constraints on the shape of the subduction interface and the style of strain across the prism. We

Quaternary Thrusting in the Central Oman Mountains—Novel Observations and Causes: Insights from Optical Stimulate Luminescence Dating and Kinematic Fault Analyses

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.
