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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Deterministic seismic hazard assessment for Sultanate of Oman [PDF]

, 2016
The Sultanate of Oman forms the southeastern part of the Arabian plate, which is surrounded by relatively high active tectonic zones. Studies of seismic risk assessment in Oman have been an important on-going socioeconomic concern.

Spontaneous Transient Summit Uplift at Taftan Volcano (Makran Subduction Arc) Imaged Using an InSAR Common‐Mode Filtering Method

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).

The 2013 M_w 7.7 Balochistan Earthquake: Seismic Potential of an Accretionary Wedge [PDF]

, 2014
Great earthquakes rarely occur within active accretionary prisms, despite the intense long‐term deformation associated with the formation of these geologic structures.

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 ...

Adakitic magmatism, a window to evolution on tectonic and mineralization in eastern Iran

Journal of Economic Geology, 2023
In this research, geochemical data from 314 samples of volcanic and intrusive rocks with adakitic or adakite-like affinity reported from eastern Iran have been studied, these rocks are often known with Sr>400 g/ton and ...
