Fault Friction, Plate Rheology, and Mantle Torques From a Global Dynamic Model of Neotectonics
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Improvements in software, parallel computing, global data sets, and laboratory flow‐laws help to develop the global Earth5 thin‐shell finite‐element model of Bird et al. (2008, https://doi.org/10.1029/2007jb005460) into a benchmark study. All experiments confirm that modeled faults (other than megathrusts) have low effective friction of 0.085 ±

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.

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.

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 ...

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.

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.

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 ...

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.

The admissible tsunamigenic source region of 24 September 2013 land-based earthquake application of backward ray tracing technique [PDF]
, 2015 A minor tsunami of about 50 cm was generated along the coast of Qurayat near Makran subduction zone in the Arabian Sea due to the 24 September 2013 Pakistan earthquake of magnitude 7.6 Mw(mB),although its source was ~200 km far inland of the Makran ...
