Makran is an active subduction zone with a lower activity rate in comparison with other similar subduction zones. In the extent of Makran seismotectonic province, from coastline up to 70 Km distance onshore, the earthquakes are shallow whilst further inland, focal depths of the earthquakes are ...

In 1945, the Makran subduction zone (MSZ) generated a tsunamigenic earthquake with a magnitude of Mw 8.1. The region has also experienced large historical earthquakes but the data regarding these events are poorly documented. Therefore, the need to investigate tsunamis in Makran must be taken ...

The Makran subduction zone, an approximate 1000 km section of the Eurasian-Arabian plate, is located offshore of Southern Iran and Pakistan. In 1945, the Makran subduction zone (MSZ) generated a tsunamigenic earthquake with a magnitude of Mw 8.1. The region has also experienced large historica...
To estimate the maximum possible size of megathrust earthquakes, we calculate the thermal structure along two profiles in west and east Makran subduction zone by solving the steady-state 2-D energy equation. For the western profile, we derive the slab geometry from a recent receiver function stud...
The current silent status of the western segment of the Makran Subduction Zone (MSZ), also known as the western Makran , is an opportunity to examine different aspects of a tsunami hazard for this region. In this study, we compute the contribution of the horizontal coseismic displacement of ...
