Stochastic Analysis of Tsunami Hazard of the 1945 Makran Subduction Zone Mw 8.1–8.3 Earthquakes [PDF]
Geosciences, 2020 Historical records of major earthquakes in the northwestern Indian Ocean along the Makran Subduction Zone (MSZ) indicate high potential tsunami hazards for coastal regions of Pakistan, Iran, Oman, and western India.

A probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment for the Makran subduction zone at the northwestern Indian Ocean [PDF]
Natural Hazards, 2010 A probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment is performed for the Makran subduction zone (MSZ) at the northwestern Indian Ocean employing a combination of probability evaluation of offshore earthquake occurrence and numerical modeling of resulting tsunamis.

Earth and Planetary Science LettersSubduction processes usually involve extensive seismicity and create voluminous magmatic arcs by mantle wedge melting caused by dehydration of the subducting slab, but the Makran subduction zone has anomalously low seismicity and magmatism. Here we explain these anomalous features by 60-65% serpentinization in the peridotitic shallow mantle wedge based

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 ...

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.

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.
