Submarine landslide tsunami hazard assessment for the western Makran based on a deterministic approach

The Makran region, which borders southern Iran and Pakistan along the Gulf of Oman, has experienced multiple tsunamis in last century, with some being triggered by submarine landslides. However, role played landslides been largely neglected tsunami hazard assessments western Makran. In present study, four different landslide scenarios volumes 10–40 km3 are simulated on 25 locations Makran, resulting 100 hypothetical scenarios. results indicate that Oman’s coastline, a country part subduction zone, is more vulnerable to landslide-generated waves (maximum average 3.1 m wave height) compared 0.9 height). Although Chabahar, Iran, Muscat, two major cities severe during scenarios, it can be implied Muscat this kind due significant gap between maximum height for all We further discuss applying worst-case sometimes lead an overestimation assessment. Therefore, geological, sedimentological, geotechnical considerations studies required defining
