Extension at the coast of the Makran subduction zone (Iran)
Terra Nova, 2019 AbstractIn 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 components consistent with N‐S extension.

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

Mineral Chemistry and Whole-rock Geochemistry of Pillow lava from the Arangue Complex, Southeastern Hormozgan, Iran [PDF]
Journal of Sciences, Islamic Republic of Iran, 2021 The Upper Cretaceous Arangue complex is located in the Makran zone at the SE of Iran. The complex consists of ultra-mafic rocks, microgabbro dykes, pillow lavas and lime stones that pillow lavas are mainly exposed to the northwest and southeast part of ...

GPS constraints on interplate locking within the Makran subduction zone [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 2016 The Makran subduction zone is one of the last convergent margins to be investigated using space-based geodesy. While there is a lack of historical and modern instrumentation in the region, a sparse sampling of continuous and campaign measurements over the past decade has allowed us to make the first estimates of convergence rates.

TSUNAMI RISK ASSESSMENT MODELLING IN CHABAHAR PORT, IRAN [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2017 The well-known historical tsunami in the Makran Subduction Zone (MSZ) region was generated by the earthquake of November 28, 1945 in Makran Coast in the North of Oman Sea.

Evaluation of tsunami wave energy generated by earthquakes in the Makran subduction zone [PDF]
Ocean Engineering, 2018 The Makran subduction zone, an approximate 1000 km section of the Eurasian-Arabian plate, is located offshore of Southern Iran and Pakistan. In 1945, the Makran subduction zone (MSZ) generated a tsunamigenic earthquake with a magnitude of Mw 8.1. The region has also experienced large historical earthquakes but the data regarding these events are poorly

THE POTENTIAL OF TSUNAMI GENERATION ALONG THE MAKRAN SUBDUCTION ZONE IN THE NORTHERN ARABIAN SEA. CASE STUDY: THE EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI OF NOVEMBER 28, 1945 [PDF]
Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2006 Although large earthquakes along the Makran Subduction Zone are infrequent, the potential for the generation of destructive tsunamis in the Northern Arabian Sea cannot be overlooked.

Geochemical characterization of basalts from west of Khash (SE Iran): an approach to the nature of the mantle source [PDF]
پترولوژی, 2017 Monogenic basaltic cinder cones and lava flows from west of Khash are part of volcanic arc of northern Makran, formed as a result of subduction of Oman oceanic lithosphere beneath the Eurasian plate. The basalts belong to medium-K calc-alkaline series as
