Crustal structure of the Murray Ridge, northwest Indian Ocean, from wide-angle seismic data [PDF]

, 2015
The Murray Ridge/Dalrymple Trough system forms the boundary between the Indian and Arabian plates in the northern Arabian Sea. Geodetic constraints from the surrounding continents suggest that this plate boundary is undergoing oblique extension at a rate

Geodynamics of Long‐Term Indian Continental Subduction and Indentation at the India‐Eurasia Collision Zone

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract The India‐Eurasia convergence is a long‐term, ongoing process despite the continental collision and associated velocity reduction from ∼15 to 20 cm/yr in the Late Cretaceous‐earliest Eocene to ∼4–5 cm/yr (since ∼40 Ma). Previous studies that impose Indian plate motion imply an external force driving long‐term convergence, continental ...

Estimation of size of megathrust zone in the Makran subduction system by thermal modelling

Geophysical Journal International, 2021
SUMMARYTo estimate the maximum possible size of megathrust earthquakes, we calculate the thermal structure along two profiles in west and east Makran subduction zone by solving the steady-state 2-D energy equation. For the western profile, we derive the slab geometry from a recent receiver function study along IASBS (Institute for Advanced Studies in ...

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.

Possible inundation map of coastal areas of gujarat with a tsunamigenic earthquake [PDF]

, 2007
The western Indian peninsula experienced the most destructive tsunami ever recorded in the Arabian Sea by the 28th November 1945 earthquake (Mw 8.1) in Makran region. The run-up height during the tsunami was of 17m at Makran coast and 11 to 11.5m in Gulf

Inferring Tectonic Plate Rotations From InSAR Time Series

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 12, 28 June 2025.
Abstract Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) provides constraints on lithospheric kinematics at high spatial resolution. Interpreting InSAR‐derived deformation maps at continental scales is challenged by long‐wavelength correlated noise and the inherent limitation of measuring relative displacements within the data footprint.

Seismological evidence for crustal-scale thrusting in the Zagros mountain belt (Iran) [PDF]

, 2006
International audienceCrustal receiver functions computed from the records of 45 temporary seismological stations installed on a 620-km long profile across central Zagros provide the first direct evidence for crustal thickening in this mountain belt. Due

Constraints from GPS measurements on plate-coupling within the Makran Subduction Zone and tsunami scenarios in the Western Indian Ocean

Geophysical Journal International
Plate-coupling estimates and previous seismicity indicate that portions of the Makran megathrust of southern Pakistan and Iran are partially coupled and have the potential to produce future magnitude 7 + earthquakes.

Evolving Sediment Structure and Lithospheric Architecture Across the Indo‐Burman Forearc Margin From the Joint Inversion of Surface‐ and Scattered‐Wave Seismic Constraints

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract The Indo‐Burman subduction zone represents a global endmember for extreme sediment accretion and is a region characterized by ambiguous tectonic structure. The recent collection of broadband seismic data across the Indo‐Burman accretionary margin as part of the Bangladesh‐India‐Myanmar Array (BIMA) experiment provides an opportunity to ...

On the magmatic record of the Makran arc, southeastern Iran: Insights from zircon U‐Pb geochronology and bulk‐rock geochemistry

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2014
Twenty‐one magmatic rocks were analyzed for major and trace elements, and a subset of them for Sr‐Nd isotopes and zircon U‐Pb isotopes, to constrain magma genesis and tectonic evolution of the Makran arc, southeastern Iran.
