Mantle convection in the Middle East: Reconciling Afar upwelling, Arabia indentation and Aegean trench rollback
Abstract The Middle East region represents a key site within the Tethyan domain where
continental break-up, collision, backarc extension and escape tectonics are kinematically …

Constant strain accumulation rate between major earthquakes on the North Anatolian Fault
Earthquakes are caused by the release of tectonic strain accumulated between events.
Recent advances in satellite geodesy mean we can now measure this interseismic strain …

Interseismic strain build-up on the submarine North Anatolian Fault offshore Istanbul
Using offshore geodetic observations, we show that a segment of the North Anatolian Fault
in the central Sea of Marmara is locked and therefore accumulating strain. The strain …
