Spatio-temporal evolution of intraplate strike-slip faulting: the Neogene-Quaternary Kuh-e-Faghan Fault, Central Iran [PDF]

, 2016
Central Iran provides an ideal region to study the long-term morphotectonic response to the nucleation and propagation of intraplate faulting. In this study, a multidisciplinary approach that integrates structural and stratigraphic field investigations ...

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.

Thermal structure and megathrust seismogenic potential of the Makran subduction zone [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2013
The Makran subduction zone experienced a tsunamigenic Mw 8.1 earthquake in 1945 and recent, smaller earthquakes also suggest seismicity on the megathrust; however, its historical record is limited and hazard potential enigmatic. We have developed a 2‐D thermal model of the subduction zone.

Probabilistic seismic hazard maps for the sultanate of Oman [PDF]

, 2016
This study presents the results of the first probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) in the framework of logic tree for Oman. The earthquake catalogue was homogenized, declustered, and used to define seismotectonic source model that characterizes ...

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.

Improving InSAR geodesy using global atmospheric models [PDF]

, 2014
Spatial and temporal variations of pressure, temperature and water vapor content in the atmosphere introduce significant confounding delays in Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) observations of ground deformation and bias estimatesof ...

Release of mineral-bound water prior to subduction tied to shallow seismogenic slip off Sumatra [PDF]

, 2017
Plate-boundary fault rupture during the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman subduction earthquake extended closer to the trench than expected, increasing earthquake and tsunami size.

Effects of mass waste events on thrust wedges: Analogue experiments and application to the Makran accretionary wedge [PDF]

, 2010
Olistostromes cover large portions of active thrust wedges like Makran, Gulf of Cadiz, and offshore Borneo. Olistostrome emplacement by submarine mass flow represents an instantaneous and massive mass redistribution that may influence thrust wedge ...
