High‐resolution lithospheric structure of the Zagros collision zone and Iranian Plateau
From a joint analysis of fundamental mode Rayleigh wave group velocities and P‐wave
receiver functions, we derive a new, high‐resolution 3D shear‐wave velocity (Vs) model for …

Seismicity around the boundary between eastern and western Makran
The Makran subduction zone is segmented into western and eastern parts. The small
number of teleseismic and regionally-recorded earthquakes makes it difficult to detect …

New constraints for the on‐shore Makran subduction zone crustal structure
Abstract The Makran Subduction Zone is the primary seismic/tsunami hazard of the
northwestern Indian Ocean, but little is known of its on‐shore seismic structure. We derived a …

Limited arc magmatism and seismicity due to extensive mantle wedge serpentinization in the Makran subduction zone
Subduction processes usually involve extensive seismicity and create voluminous magmatic
arcs by mantle wedge melting caused by dehydration of the subducting slab, but the Makran …

The Bajgan Complex revealed as a Cretaceous ophiolite-bearing subduction complex: A key to unravel the geodynamics of Makran (southeast Iran)
In the Makran area, a wide accretionary wedge is originated by the north-dip** subduction
of the Neo-Tethyan oceanic lithosphere. The rear of the accretionary wedge is represented …
