Tsunami hazard and risk zoning for Qurayyat in northeast Oman coast: Worst-case credible scenarios along the Makran Subduction Zone, Western Asia

Journal of Asian Earth Sciences: X, 2022
This paper investigates the deterministic tsunami hazard scenarios to assess the potential impact on the Qurayyat coast, northeast Oman. It assesses the maximum tsunami hazard characteristics with a focus on the zoning of tsunami hazard related to the ...

Estimation of size of megathrust zone in the Makran subduction system by thermal modelling

Geophysical Journal International, 2021
SUMMARYTo estimate the maximum possible size of megathrust earthquakes, we calculate the thermal structure along two profiles in west and east Makran subduction zone by solving the steady-state 2-D energy equation. For the western profile, we derive the slab geometry from a recent receiver function study along IASBS (Institute for Advanced Studies in ...

New high-resolution 2D seismic imaging of fluid escape structures in the Makran subduction zone, Arabian Sea

China Geology, 2020
: Seabed fluid escape is active in the Makran subduction zone, Arabian Sea. Based on the new high-resolution 2D seismic data, acoustic blanking zones and seafloor mounds are identified.

Uplift Dynamics of the Obducted Northeastern Continental Margin of the Arabian Peninsula, Sultanate of Oman

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023
Eustatic sea level changes and vertical tectonic movements are producing uplifted paleoshorelines. Along subduction zones, uplifted terraces are used to study fault activities and, overall, allow to interpret the tectonic history of plate convergence ...

Late Campanian (74–71 Ma) Arabia–Eastern Anatolia Collision and Its Geodynamic Implications

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The East Anatolian Plateau is a major collisional feature within the Tethyan realm formed as a late‐stage result of the collision between East Anatolia and the Arabian Platform. The timing of this collision is highly debated, with estimates from the Late Cretaceous to the Miocene.

Evolution of Pore Fluid Pressure in an Accretionary Outer Wedge Over Megathrust Earthquake Cycles: The Northern Cascadia Example

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
The evolution of pore fluid pressure ( Pf$P_{\mathrm{f}}$) in the most seaward portion of a subduction accretionary prism plays an essential role in the cycle of tsunamigenic earthquakes. Based on recent geophysical observations, here we propose a testable conceptual model for this evolution for northern Cascadia offshore of Washington.

Probabilistic forecast of next earthquake event in Makran subduction zone using Weibull distribution

Contributions to Geophysics and Geodesy
Earthquake is the most lethal type of natural disaster. Researchers have been working to develop precise earthquake prediction methods to save lives. A statistical investigation is an effective earthquake prediction method because they offer more details

Faster Than Real Time Tsunami Warning with Associated Hazard Uncertainties

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Tsunamis are unpredictable events and catastrophic in their potential for destruction of human lives and economy. The unpredictability of their occurrence poses a challenge to the tsunami community, as it is difficult to obtain from the tsunamigenic ...

Flux and Isotopic Composition of Sedimentary Carbon Subducting Along the World's Trenches

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Here we provide comprehensive estimates for the subducted sedimentary flux of inorganic and organic carbon and δ13C at 16 trench segments worldwide. Our calculations provide minimum (incoming sediment), maximum (trench fill) and best estimates (underthrust) of carbon fluxes.

Fault Friction, Plate Rheology, and Mantle Torques From a Global Dynamic Model of Neotectonics

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Improvements in software, parallel computing, global data sets, and laboratory flow‐laws help to develop the global Earth5 thin‐shell finite‐element model of Bird et al. (2008, https://doi.org/10.1029/2007jb005460) into a benchmark study. All experiments confirm that modeled faults (other than megathrusts) have low effective friction of 0.085 ±
