1 a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Keywords: Balochistan earthquake Chaman fault Makran megathrust earthquake source model image geodesy We analyse the Mw 7.7 Balochistan earthquake of 09/24/2013 based on ground surface deformation measured from sub-pixel correlation of Landsat-8 images, combined with back-projection and finite source modeling of teleseismic waveforms. The earthquake nucle...

the makran subduction zone in southeastern iran and southern pakistan is where the oceanic crust of the arabian plate (oman sea) is subducting beneath eurasia. compared to other subduction zones in the world, the makran subduction zone has some unusual features, including different seismicity patterns in its eastern and western parts. also, the quaternary volcanoes in the eastern part of makran...

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...

Tsunami waves are the most underrated hazard affecting the life near coastal belts. With socio-economic developments in coastal region results in more hazardous from tsunami. The hazard assessment of tsunami is highly vital. The Makran region is exceptional in closure zone of Tethys; it is only segment east of the Mediterranean and west of Andaman arc in which subduction of oceanic lithosphere ...

Extreme coastal inundation associated with the 2004 Indian Ocean and 1945 Makran tsunamigenic-earthquakes highlight the risk of tsunamis to coastlines of the northern Oman Sea. Foraminifera have been used as indicators of paleotsunamis in the past where allochthonous tests, found in low-energy environments such as in coastal lagoons, ponds, and marshes, indicate marine overwash. In this study, ...

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...
