A new gastropod fauna of Burdigalian (early Miocene) age is described from the Iranian part of Makran. The fauna comprises 19 species and represents three distinct assemblages from turbid water coral reef, shallow subtidal soft-bottom and mangrove-fringed mudflat environments in the northern Indian Ocean. Especially the reef-associated assemblage comprises largely new species. This is explained...

We report the result of a 2010 survey of the effects on the Iranian coastline of the tsunami which followed the earthquake of 27 November 1945 (M0 = 2.8 9 10 28 dyn cm; Mw = 8.2), the only large event recorded along the Makran subduction zone since the onset of instrumental seismology. Based on the interview of elderly survivors of the event, we obtained a database of nine values of run-up or s...

Western Makran is one of the few subduction zones left with a largely unconstrained seismogenic potential. According to sparse GPS stations, accumulating some strain be released during future earthquakes. To enhance seismic hazard assessment, we here propose study finite deformation western accretionary wedge. Mechanical modelling used retrieve spatial variations frictional properties megathrus...

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...

To delineate the spatial distribution of high saturation gas hydrate reservoirs in low-angle subduction areas Makran Accretionary Prism, we conducted seismic data interpretation and impedance inversion hydrates Prism comprehensively analyzed characteristics Nankai Trough Japan Shenhu Area South China Sea. The results show that features thick sediments, developed transport systems “two-way suppl...

Abstract Regarding disadvantages of fossil fuels, renewables like geothermals can be an eco-friendly source energy. In Iran, the availability fuels and poor policies surrounding subsidies (ranked as first in giving subsidies) caused high energy consumption (1.75 times higher than global average). Energy is mainly provided by that leads to CO 2 emission. This study evaluates trend potentials mor...
