The Anatolia?Aegean domain represents a broad plate boundary zone, with the deformation accommodated by major faults bounding quasi-low deforming units. First-order features of this were obtained in form GNSS-derived velocity field. During last decade, accuracy solutions was improved, and expansion continuous networks increased spatial resolution. Nonetheless, an accurate representation field requires interstation distances much lower than locking depth nearby faults, which has not yet been...

Coulomb stress calculations based on preliminary data and models suggest that the magnitude-7.5 shock Sürgü Çardak faults was brought closer to failure by magnitude-7.8 rupture East Anatolian Fault, 110 kilometers south.

The engines of surface deformation in the Anatolia–Aegean region are a matter debate, including origin high elevations Anatolian plateau. Recent publications based on geological and thermomechanical modelling emphasize role dynamic topography plateau uplift. However, quantitative estimates contribution affected by large uncertainties due to insufficient knowledge crustal structure, particular thickness density. To reduce these uncertainties, we provide new accurate map domain computed from...

The Sürgü-Cardak fault ruptured ~9 hours after the Mw 7.8 mainshock on East Anatolian Fault zone (EAFZ) during 2023 Kahramanmaraș earthquake sequence. With a moment magnitude 7.5, involving up to 11 m slip, this event featured comparable slip magnitudes as mainshock. Published strain rate fields based geodetic observations do show accumulation around EAFZ, but appears be absent. We therefore reexamine GNSS-based interseismic field see whether, or not, accumulated...

Landslide mapping is essential for hazard assessment and disaster response, methods based on Earth observation (EO) enable the of large areas impacted by major disasters.  These methods, however, often rely cloud-free optical images, which are rarely available in high-rainfall prone to landslides, delaying timely detection. Furthermore, mosaicking multiple consecutive images eliminate cloud cover discards valuable temporal information, such as actual timing landslide occurrences...

Landslides cause severe damage to the built environment and communities, requiring effective hazard management. Landslide catalogs, which provide essential data on past landslide occurrences, are primary sources for this purpose. Furthermore, they enable training validation of predictive models.  Although catalogs largely compiled through manual mapping based expert judgement, various advanced techniques using optical Earth observation (EO) imagery have been developed automate...

Convergence of the Africa, Arabia, and Eurasia plates westward escape Anatolia have resulted in an evolving plate boundary zone Eastern Mediterranean. The current location nature between Anatolian African is difficult to trace due scattered crustal earthquakes absence deep ones. We examine various types locations for as constrained by seismicity, seismic reflection studies, tomographic geodetic measurements we use a spherical plane stress finite element model test these possibilities. In our...

Vertical edges along subducted slabs have been recognized in the majority of subduction zones. Surprisingly, slab evolved into Subduction-Transform-Edge-Propagator (STEP) faults only a few regions; conditions under which STEPs form are special. It is relevant to constrain that facilitate STEP fault initiation because they leave clear geological footprint overriding plate, whereas vertical tears generally do not. We therefore study candidate region for western Hellenic Subduction Zone....

The aim of this study is to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool for obtaining information about the ecological literacy adults. For purpose, 72-item three-part was created in accordance with literature presented experts their opinions. After finalizing scale feedback received, 25-item 5-point Likert-type Ecological Literacy Awareness Scale, 17-item true/false-type Knowledge Test (1), multiple-choice (2) were created. 59-item draft administered two groups. These groups selected by...

The Anatolia–Aegean domain represents a broad plate boundary zone, with the deformation accommodated by major faults bounding quasi-low deforming units. main characteristics of Anatolia-Aegean were identified using GNSS-derived velocity field. Recent advancements in GNSS measurements and networks have improved spatial resolution field, however, for better understanding deformation, interstation distances that are smaller than fault-locking depth consistent data processing single...
