    Abstract

    The input of terrigenous sediment along the tectonically active Makran continental margin off south-western Pakistan (Gulf of Oman, northern Arabian Sea) is studied on the basis of sediment cores distributed along a transect from the upper slope to the abyssal plain. Spatial and temporal variations in sediment composition, sedimentation rate and turbidite frequency in late Pleistocene-Holocene time (last ~20
