This paper reviews the main tectonic features of the Eastern Mediterranean region
combining the recent information obtained from GPS measurements, seismicity and …

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 …

Being a part of ongoing continental collision between the Arabian and Eurasian plates, the
Caucasus region is a remarkable site of moderate to strong seismicity, where devastating …

We establish reliable and conservative estimates for epicentre location accuracy using data
that are readily available in published seismic bulletins. A large variety of seismic studies …

This paper examines how active faulting in the Turkey‐Iran‐Caucasus region
accommodates the Arabia‐Eurasia collision and the velocity field observed by GPS. The …

We use the GPS velocity field (1988–1998) for eastern Mediterranean and Asia Minor to
determine the crustal deformation strain rate field in an area bounded by 35° N and 43° N …

A combined analysis of the geodetic strain-rate field and the strain-rate field deduced from
the seismicity allows us to define the style of deformation and to distinguish seismic from …

Triggered earthquakes can be large, damaging, and lethal as evidenced by the1999 shocks
in Turkey and the 2001 earthquakes in El Salvador. In this study, earthquakes with Ms≥ 7.0 …

Abstract The Greater Caucasus Mountains, due to their youth (~ 5 Ma), provide an
opportunity for insight into the early stages of orogen development during continent …

This work contributes to a better knowledge of potentially seismogenic faults of the Georgia
Greater and Lesser Caucasus by evaluating the distribution of earthquake foci, active …
