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 ...

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.

Tsunami Vulnerability Analysis of Makran Subduction Zone through Fuzzy Logic

Indonesian Journal on Geoscience
Tsunamis are among the most terrifying natural hazards, causing significant loss of life and property and impacting our society’s human, economic, and social aspects. Given their destructive nature, developing effective techniques for tsunami observation and demolition reduction is crucial. This study proposes a novel tsunami detection and alert system

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.

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.

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 ...

Structure of the Makran subduction zone from wide-angle and reflection seismic data

Tectonophysics, 2000
Abstract Makran is one of the largest accretionary wedges on the globe, formed by the convergence between the Eurasian and the Arabian Plates. It is characterised by an extremely high sediment input of 7 km and a shallow subduction angle. We present seismic velocity models from four wide-angle seismic lines that image the wedge sediments and the ...

Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment for United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Bahrain

Applied Sciences, 2020
A probabilistic seismic hazard assessment in terms of peak ground acceleration (PGA) and spectral acceleration (SA) values, for both 10% and 5% probability of exceedance in 50 years, has been performed for the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Bahrain. To

Tsunami and the effects on coastal morphology and ecosystems: A report [PDF]

, 2012
Tsunamis are one of the most destructive natural hazards that affect the coastal areas. Tsunami waves that impact the coast with enormous energy are capable of destroying the objects on the coast and re-shaping the coastal geography, geomorphology and ...

Sensitivity Analysis of the Thermal Structure Within Subduction Zones Using Reduced‐Order Modeling

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract Megathrust earthquakes are the largest on Earth, capable of causing strong ground shaking and generating tsunamis. Physical models used to understand megathrust earthquake hazard are limited by existing uncertainties about material properties and governing processes in subduction zones.
