Earth's rotation variability triggers explosive eruptions in subduction zones [PDF]

, 2015
The uneven Earth’s spinning has been reported to affect geological processes, i.e. tectonism, seismicity and volcanism, on a planetary scale. Here, we show that changes of the length of day (LOD) influence eruptive activity at subduction margins ...

Low-strength shear zone in the western Makran subduction zone, southeastern Iran: insights from a receiver functions analysis

Geophysical Journal International
To understand the seismic hazard of a subduction zone, it is necessary to know the geometry, location, and mechanical characteristics of the interplate boundary below which an oceanic plate is thrust downward. By considering the azimuthal dependence of

A CASE-STUDY OF RUBBLE-MOUND BREAKWATERS STABILITY AGAINST MAKRAN SUBDUCTION ZONE TSUNAMIS [PDF]

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2017
A case-study pertaining to a number of existing breakwaters located on northern coastlines of the Gulf of Oman, directly facing the Makran Subduction Zone (MSZ) sets the context in order to elucidate the adopted methodologies for both Probabilistic Tsunamis Hazard Analysis (PTHA) as well as investigating breakwater stability in the event of a major ...

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 ...

The Neotethyan Sanandaj-Sirjan zone of Iran as an archetype for passive margin-arc transitions [PDF]

, 2016
The Sanandaj-Sirjan zone of Iran is a northwest trending orogenic belt immediately north of the Zagros suture, which represents the former position of the Neotethys Ocean.

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.

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 ...

3-D lithospheric structure and regional/residual Bouguer anomalies in the Arabia-Eurasia collision (Iran) [PDF]

, 2013
The aim of this work is to propose a first-order estimate of the crustal and lithospheric mantle geometry of the Arabia-Eurasia collision zone and to separate the measured Bouguer anomaly into its regional and local components.

Petrogenetic and tectonic aspects of collisional granitoids from the Sanandaj-Sirjan Belt of Iran [PDF]

, 2012
The Sanandaj-Sirjan granitoids (SSG) in western Iran are composed mainly of granite, granodiorite and tonalite. Chemically the rocks are peraluminous and metaluminous, and show S-and I-type characteristics.

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.
