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.

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.

Stochastic Analysis of Tsunami Hazard of the 1945 Makran Subduction Zone Mw 8.1–8.3 Earthquakes

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.

The 2013 M_w 7.7 Balochistan Earthquake: Seismic Potential of an Accretionary Wedge [PDF]

, 2014
Great earthquakes rarely occur within active accretionary prisms, despite the intense long‐term deformation associated with the formation of these geologic structures.

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

Integrated analysis of surface wave velocity and gravity data for the development of new density-velocity models of the crust and upper mantle in SE Iran

Journal of Asian Earth Sciences: X, 2022
Inversion of Rayleigh wave dispersion curves is challenging due to its nonlinearity and multimodality. In this paper, a Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm is applied to the nonlinear inversion of fundamental-mode Rayleigh wave group dispersion curves for

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
