Tsunami hazard assessment along Diba-Oman and Diba-Al-Emirates coasts

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2017
Tsunami is among the most devastating natural hazards phenomenon responsible for significant loss of life and property throughout history. The Sultanate of Oman and United Arab Emirates are among the Indian Ocean countries that were subjected to one ...

Mineral chemistry and chromite mineralization in the Qaranaz-Alamkandi area, west Zanjan

Journal of Economic Geology, 2021
Introduction Malek Ghasemi and Karimzadeh Somarin (2005) reported that Chromite deposits in Iran occur in Paleozoic and Mesozoic ophiolite complexes in association with serpentinite and serpentinized peridotites and dunites (Ghazi et al., 2004; Shafaii ...

Cenozoic Evolution of the North‐Eastern Mediterranean Basins

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The Eastern Mediterranean lies at the junction of the African, Arabian, and Eurasian plates, a region shaped by a long and complex tectonic history. While the Levant Basin in the southern sector has been extensively studied for hydrocarbon exploration, the northern domain offshore Cyprus, Turkey, Syria, and Lebanon remains less understood.

Imaging the seismic structure of the western Makran Subduction Zone

Geophysical Journal International
SUMMARY We analyse data from 48 seismic stations located in the western part of the Makran Subduction Zone to gain a detailed knowledge of the crustal and uppermost mantle structure in that region. The Makran is a flat subduction zone with a very thick accretionary wedge.

Dating and morphostratigraphy of uplifted marine terraces in the Makran subduction zone (Iran) [PDF]

, 2018
Abstract. The western part of the Makran subduction zone (Iran) has not experienced a great megathrust earthquake in recent human history, yet, the presence of emerged marine terraces along the coast indicates that the margin has been tectonically active during at least the late Quaternary.

From tsunami risk assessment to disaster risk reduction – the case of Oman [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2018
Oman is located in an area of high seismicity, facing the Makran Subduction Zone, which is the major source of earthquakes in the eastern border of the Arabian plate. These earthquakes, as evidenced by several past events, may trigger a tsunami event.

Tectonics and Surface Processes During Collisional Orogenesis—Exploring the Parameter Space of the Beaumont Number

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract The collision of continents typically leads to orogenesis as a result of crustal thickening and isostatic compensation. High topography is a main locus of precipitation‐fueled erosion, providing a feedback‐loop between tectonics, surface processes, and climate.

A CATALOG OF TSUNAMIS IN THE INDIAN OCEAN [PDF]

Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2006
A catalog of about ninety tsunamis in the Indian Ocean has been prepared from 326 BC to 2005 AD. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries tsunamis have occurred once in three years or so.

Strain Rates Along the Alpine‐Himalayan Belt From a Comprehensive GNSS Velocity Field

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract The Alpine‐Himalayan belt is one of Earth's most dynamic and complex regions, characterized by intense tectonic deformation and seismicity. Comprehensive analyses of continental‐scale crustal deformation and seismic hazards along this extensive orogenic belt require the compilation of large geodetic data sets.

Slab Tearing and Recycled Continental Sediments in the Lithospheric Mantle: Geodynamic Insights From Miocene Alkaline Rocks of the Tangra‐YumCo Rift, Southern Tibet

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Mantle metasomatism is a common phenomenon in convergent margins; however, metasomatism by subducted sediments and their role in alkaline magma generation remain poorly understood. Alkaline rocks from the Tangra‐YumCo rift (TYR) in southern Tibet show a unique geochemical composition among post‐collisional volcanic rocks of the Lhasa terrane ...
