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.

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

Modeling of contribution of the Late Cretaceous-Miocene sediments of the Makran accretionary wedge to the petrogenesis of basalts from Makran volcanic arc, SE Iran [PDF]

پترولوژی
Introduction Makran geological province of SE Iran is an east-west trending mountain range related to the Cretaceous-to-recent subduction of the Indian oceanic lithosphere beneath the southeastern edge of the Eurasian plate (McCall, 1997; Saccani et al.,

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

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.
