The
group is initiated to carry out the following tasks:
- Create awareness of the available geophysical
research activities conducted on the Almashriq Region.
- Conduct coordinated research and make available
publications contributing to an understanding of the internal structure and
evolution of Almashriq region including, but not limited to, the following
lines of research:
- Seismicity (paleoseismology, observational
seismology and macro, micro and induced seismicity studies),
seismotectonics and seismic hazard analyses of Almashriq region.
- Geodynamics and stress distribution of the
Arabian Subcontinent (defining the Arabian Plate) with special emphasis on
the Zagros Thrust zone, the Dead Sea Transform, the Red Sea Divergence,
the Gulf of Aden and the Afar Triple Junction.
- Promote research in the fields of Applied and
Environmental geophysics, which emphasises the application of
high-resolution geophysical and data modelling techniques to engineering
and environmental problems utilizing the various data from the available
geophysical techniques.
- Apply advanced geophysical data analysis and
modelling techniques to identify environmental hazards and evaluate areas
selected for the establishment of critical structures.
- Coordinate and utilize the available National
Geophysical Observatories data of the Region to establish a unified
geophysical database on the geophysics of Almashriq region.
- A coordinating committee is to be established to
organize the flow of proposals, streamlining of data collection and
analysis, final text writing and eventual publications.
