For a geoscientist Pakistan is a wonderful country. With an active subduction zone on its southern margin along the Makran coast, Palaeocene ophiolites preserved along its western border, on-going continental collision between India and Asia in the northern part of the collision, with a fossil island arc sandwiched between the two continents, and the fastest uplifting piece …

Skardu Basin is a northwest-trending intermontane basin along the Indus River in the Karakoram Himalaya Mountains of Pakistan. Seismotectonic domain boundaries in the Karakoram Himalaya commonly cross lithologic and some older structural boundaries. Four major structural-seismotectonic domains exist in the Skardu area: the Himalayan seismic ...

This paper summarizes some 30 years of more intense recent work and almost 100 years of geological observations in Kohistan. The paper is divided into two section: an earlier factual-based section with minimal interpretation, and a later section summarizing a range of ideas based on the data as well as presenting new thoughts and interpretations.

Balkassar is an important hydrocarbon producing area of the Potwar Plateau, Pakistan. Two-dimensional seismic reflection data of the area revealed tectonically controlled, distinct episodes of (1) normal faulting in the basement followed by (2) reverse faulting in the cover sequence. Himalayan orogeny and associated diapirism of the Precambrian Salt Range …
Central Indus Basin of Pakistan, as shown in the tectonic map in Bgure 1. It is located in the Khairpur district of Sindh, Pakistan. The spatial coverage of the 3D seismic data interpreted in this paper, and the relative location of wells Tajjal-01, Tajjal-02 and Tajjal-03, are shown in Bgure 2. The study area comprises a series of horst and graben

2. Tectonic Framework of Pakistan Tectonics of Pakistan is chracterized by two active convergent boundaries: 1) In the northeast there is an active continent-island arc-continent collision boundary, the west end of the Himalayan orogeny. 2) In the southwest there is an active boundary of oceanic lithosphere subducting beneatharc-trench gap sediments, the oceanic …
To provide a detailed record of a relatively rare thrust surface rupture and examine its active tectonic implications, we have conducted field mapping of the surface rupture associated with the 2005 M w 7.6 Kashmir earthquake. Despite the difficulty arising from massive earthquake-induced landslides along the surface rupture, we found that typical pressure ridges …
