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...
Western Turkey provides spectacular examples of the two end-member models deformation continental lithosphere, with strain localization along North Anatolian fault and distributed north–south extension Aegean coast. To provide constraints on mechanisms deformation, we present a new high-resolution image lithospheric structure ∼650 km transect crossing Anatolia at 28°E longitude from Black Sea to Mediterranean. More than 2600 receiver functions are computed records teleseismic earthquakes 40...
The Sea of Marmara, located along the North Anatolian Fault (NAF) system, represents a geologically significant region where fault’s bifurcation into northern and southern branches plays key role in shaping region's tectonic framework.  The NAF, acting as primary driver, has not only shaped basin's morphology but also controlledits seismicity, making area for studying active processes earthquake hazards. İzmit Gulf, at easternmost part Marmara Sea, is particular...
A tsunami warning system providing services in the Eastern Mediterranean, Aegean, Marmara and Black Seas under UNESCO Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC)—Intergovernmental Coordination Group (ICG) for Tsunami Early Warning Mitigation System North-Eastern Atlantic, Mediterranean Connected (NEAMTWS) framework was established Turkey by Kandilli Observatory Earthquake Research Institute (KOERI) (Özel et al., 2011). KOERI’s Regional Monitoring Center (RETMC) on foundations of legacy...
Abstract As the earliest institute in Turkey dedicated to locating, recording, and archiving earthquakes region, Kandilli Observatory Earthquake Research Institute (KOERI) has a long history seismic observation, which dates back installation of its first seismometers soon after devastating Istanbul earthquake 10 July 1894. For over century, since deployment seismometer, KOERI network grown steadily time. In this article, we present facilities as data center for seismological community,...
A high-resolution two-dimensional tomographic velocity image in the eastern Marmara region along a 1.2 km long N-S trending seismic profile, which crosses surface rupture of İzmit earthquake on North Anatolian Fault (NAF) is presented. vibroseis source at more than 180 points with 50 receivers was used profile. regularized inversion technique applied to first arrival travel times. More 6500 arrivals from 129 shot gathers were analyzed construct images and qualitatively evaluated for fault...
