An assessment of the tsunami risk in Muscat and Salalah, Oman, based on estimations of probable maximum loss [PDF]
, 2016 We present a method for determining an initial assessment of tsunami risk, with application for two coastal areas of Oman. Using open source GIS and seismic databases we carry out a tsunami risk assessment using a deterministic and probabilistic approach

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]
پترولوژیIntroduction 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

Tectonics of the Dalrymple Trough and uplift of the Murray Ridge (NW Indian Ocean) [PDF]
, 2014 International audienceThe Dalrymple Trough is a 150-km-long, 30-km-wide basin located at the northern termination of the Owen Fracture Zone (OFZ), which is the present-day active India-Arabia plate boundary.

Geology, 2020 The Makran subduction zone has produced M 8+ earthquakes and subsequent tsunamis in historic times, hence indicating high risk for the coastal regions of southern Iran, Pakistan, and neighboring countries. Besides this, the Makran subduction zone is an

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
