▪ Abstract Dedicated to the memory of three pioneers, İhsan Ketin, Sırrı Erinç and Melih
Tokay, and a recent student, Aykut Barka, who burnt himself out in pursuit of the mysteries of …

We have updated the active fault map of Turkey and built its database within GIS
environment. In the study, four distinct active fault types, classified according to …

Turkey forms one of the most actively deforming regions in the world and has a long history
of devastating earthquakes. The belter understanding of its neotectonic features and active …

We calculate the probability of strong shaking in Istanbul, an urban center of 10 million
people, from the description of earthquakes on the North Anatolian fault system in the …

We review the long term evolution of seismicity in the eastern Marmara Sea over a decade,
before and after the 1999 Mw 7.6 Izmit earthquake. We analyze large scale space-time …

Although some liquefaction assessment methods were proposed to evaluate the liquefaction
potential of sandy soils, the conventional method based on the standard penetration test …

Earthquake scarps associated with recent historical events have been found on the floor of
the Sea of Marmara, along the North Anatolian Fault (NAF). The MARMARASCARPS cruise …

The basins in the Marmara Sea are the products of a superimposed evolutionary history
defined by two different-aged fault systems: the early Miocene–early Pliocene Thrace …

Earthquake hazard in the Marmara Region, Turkey has been investigated using time-
independent probabilistic (simple Poissonian) and time-dependent probabilistic (renewal) …

Using the detailed geometry and tectonics of the Main Marmara fault that connects the Gulf
of Izmit fault with the Ganos fault established by Le Pichon et al.[2001] and the new GPS …
