New data on the upper, carpholite-bearing cover units of this HP nappe stack indicate that all of them underwent similar P conditions to the underlying Hulw structural unit (with a cooler exhumation P-T path). Early SSW-directed crustal thickening during ophiolite emplacement created recumbent folds and strong schistose fabrics in these Permian–Mesozoic shelf carbonates and was followed by later NNE-dipping normal sense shear zones (namely the Hulw, Al Wudya, Yenkit, Al Hamriyah shear zones) and normal faults. In particular, the Mayh unit shows high strain in a 15-25 km long sheath fold that likely formed at carpholite grade pressures of 8-10 kbar and depths of ∼30 km. We show that there are no significant P differences across the Hulw shear zone (‘upper plate – lower plate discontinuity’) or the overlying Mayh, Yenkit-Yiti and Ruwi units, nor between them.

  • The English Transliteration of Place Names in Oman
    Journal of Academic and Applied Studies Vol. 1(3) September 2011, pp. 1-27 Available online @ www.academians.org ISSN1925931X The English Transliteration of Place Names in Oman Nafla S. Kharusi, Amel Salman Department of English, College of Arts and Social Sciences Sultan Qaboos University Muscat, Oman Abstract An especially challenging aspect of transliteration is adopting an adequate system that can be used by an average person who may be unable to interpret diacritics or all the character and character combinations used in traditional and contemporary systems. Also, significant phonological differences between two languages such as those between Arabic and English, and the absence of a consistently used universal system, may result in numerous variations in the spelling of a name. This paper, part of a larger study that the authors are conducting, proposes a simplified system for the English transliteration of Oman‟s place names written in the Arabic script. The system is meant to be used on tourist maps, at tourist sites, on signposts, and in marketing and public relations material. Considering the importance of toponyms in conveying the historical and cultural heritage of a people, the extended project will examine the linguistic aspects of all Oman‟s toponyms, such as their morpho-syntactic and semantic properties and also their lexical-source domains. The research will further illustrate how cross-cultural influences on place name phonology may serve as narratives of identity and symbolic resistance to the dominant majority. Keywords: Arabic; Oman; place name; toponym; transliteration I. Introduction A. The Study In an increasingly globalized world, where economies are interdependent and language barriers are constantly encountered, there is a need for a reliable medium of communication to avoid misinterpretations and misunderstandings.

The Geological Society of Oman (GSO) invests its time and effort to deliver the monthly talks and Ifieldtrips in the best way its members can benefit from. The GSO also strives to diversify its ac- tivities to include more programs which are directed towards the general public. From this pro- spective, the GSO has launched this year a campaign entitled ”Geology around Oman” to deliver general geological talks in different Governorates of the Sultanate. Our first general geological talk took place in Al-Rustaq, in collaboration with Al-Misfah Culture and Sports Club and Al-Rustaq Sports Club, on March 4th, 2016. n another note, the GSO hosted the first Arabian Gulf Geosciences Societies’ Meeting, which was held in Muscat on May 27th, 2016.

  • Structural Geometry, Style and Timing of Deformation in the Hawasina Window, Al Jabal Al Akhdar and Saih Hatat Culminations, Oman Mountains
    GeoArabia, Vol. 12, No. 2, 2007 Structural deformation, Oman mountains Gulf PetroLink, Bahrain Structural geometry, style and timing of deformation in the Hawasina Window, Al Jabal al Akhdar and Saih Hatat culminations, Oman Mountains Michael P. Searle ABSTRACT The Al Jabal al Akhdar and Saih Hatat culminations in the central Oman Mountains expose the complete mid-Permian to Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian) passive shelf and margin carbonate sequence beneath the allochtonous slope (Sumeini Group), basin (Hawasina complex), distal ocean-trench (Haybi complex) facies rocks, and the Semail ophiolite thrust sheets that were emplaced from NE to SW during the Late Cretaceous. Reconstruction of the pre-thrust sequences shows that time- equivalent rocks occur in successively stacked thrust sheets from shelf to slope to basin. The Al Jabal al Akhdar structure is a 60 km wavelength anticline plunging to the northwest beneath the Hawasina Window and with a fold axis that curves from WNW-ESE (Jabal Shams) to NNE-SSW (Jabal Nakhl). The structure shows little internal deformation except for minor intra-formational thrust duplexing within the Cretaceous shelf stratigraphy along the northern margin. The upper structural boundaries around the flanks of the shelf carbonate culminations have been re-activated as late stage normal faults. The Semail thrust formed a passive roof fault during late-stage culmination of al Al Jabal al Akhdar such that the ophiolite rests directly on Wasia Formation top-shelf with the entire Sumeini, Hawasina and Haybi thrust sheets displaced around the margins. NE-directed backthrusting and intense folding in the northern part of the Hawasina Window affects all allochtonous units and is related to a steep ramp in the Late Cretaceous shelf margin at depth.
