Identifying Overwash Deposits in Arid Environments: Towards a Millennial-Scale Record of Cyclones and Makran Trench Tsunamis from Sur Lagoon, Oman
… Sea are susceptible to marine inundation from Makran Subduction Zone (MSZ) earthquakes and tropical cyclones. Sediments deposited by these forms of inundation can expand the decadal instrumental record of events to include millennial timescales in regions without rich historical records (i.e., …

Kinematics and Dynamics of Continental Deformation
… deformation. The first two studies look at the Makran subduction zone, and the third focusses on deformation in South East Tibet. The first study is an investigation of the 11 May 2013 M w 6.1 Minab earthquake which occurred at the western end of the Makran subduction zone, adjacent to the …

Modelling Viscous Flow and Elastic Deformation in Fold-Thrust Belts and Magmatic Intrusions
… or vertical thickening. I apply the model to the Makran accretionary prism and the Indo-Burman Ranges, and show that for the Makran flexure is important, while in the Indo-Burman Ranges the incoming sediment thickness has a first-order control on topography. The propagation of shallow magmatic …

Application of Remote Sensing Techniques for the Study of Neotectonic Deformation, Subsidence and Coastal Processes
… plate and in close proximity to the active Makran Subduction Zone. I used Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) to identify hotspots of subsidence in the city and quantify rates of deformation. This study was the first to report the presence of an active fault within the city. The …

Multidisciplinary investigations of the Chaman strike-slip fault along the western Indo-Asian collision boundary, Pakistan
… of the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen and connects the Makran subduction zone to the Himalayan convergence zone. This western collision boundary received extensive magmatism as Kandahar and Chagai-Ras Koh arcs, which evolved from oceanic to continental arcs before the closure of the neo-Tethyan Ocean …
