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, resu...

To assist the analysis of tsunami hazards for Qatar coastal areas were using numerical model. By Tsunamis waves created from submarine earthquakes magnitude (Mw) 8.6 and 9.0 in Richard scale along Makran Subduction Zone (MSZ) as well landslides with soil volume 1.25 to 2.0 km3 Iranian coast inside Arabian Gulf is considered. TUNAMI-N2KISR model (Al-Salem) was applied this study predict propagat...

Iran's mud volcanoes are clearly visible on the coastal plains of the Oman and Caspian Seas. There are 30 Gatan Mud Volcanoes located in the southeast of Iran: 15 of which are located between Jask and Minab in Hormozgan province, nine are between Chabahar and Jask Ports, and another six are between Chabahar and the Iran-Pakistan border in Sistan and Balouchestan Province. After some studies and...

SUMMARY Makran subduction zone is very active with ∼38 mm yr−1 convergence rate and has experienced great earthquakes in the past. The latest earthquake of 1945 Mw 8.1 event also triggered a large tsunami led to ∼4000 casualties. However, due incomplete historical seismicity records poor modern instrumentation, mechanism, co-seismic slip characteristics remain unclear. On 2017 February 17, an 6...
