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 ...

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.

Subduction tractions and vertical axis rotations in the Zagros–Makran transition zone, SE Iran: the 2013 May 11 Mw 6.1 Minab earthquake [PDF]
, 2015 The source parameters and slip distribution of the 2013 May 11 Mw 6.1 Minab earthquake are studied using seismology, geodesy and field observations. We observe left-lateral strike-slip motion on a fault striking ENE–WSW; approximately perpendicular to ...

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.

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.

Subduction in the Western Makran : the historian's contribution [PDF]
, 2009 The Makran subduction zone, which runs along the southeastern coast of Iran and the southern coast of Pakistan, is a major control on the seismic hazard of the region.

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 ...

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.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 19, 16 October 2025.Abstract We unambiguously document unrest at Taftan volcano. Summit uplift was detected using Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar time series and its timing tightly constrained applying a new common mode filtering method. Uplift started and ended gradually lasting 10 months (July 2023 to May 2024).

Transfer of Strontium and Carbon From Subducting Sediment Into the Leading Edge of the Mantle Wedge
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 9, September 2025.Abstract Carbon mobilization at subduction zones can be constrained by focusing on Sr as a proxy, as Sr readily substitutes for Ca—a major cation in the crystal structures of carbonates. Unmelted high/ultrahigh pressure (HP/UHP) pelitic metasediments exhumed from less than 100 km depth along the slab‐mantle interface show loss of Sr and retention of ...
