Significant loss of life and property has occurred as a result of many destructive earthquakes
in both historical and instrumental periods in Turkey, which is located on the Alpine …

We document the establishment of the Aegea–Anatolia/Eurasia plate boundary in Pliocene–
Pleistocene time. Before 2 Ma, no localized plate boundary existed north of the Aegean …

Earthquakes are a consequence of the motions of the planet's tectonic plates, yet predicting
when and where they may occur, and how to prepare remain some of the shortcomings of …

The neotectonics of Turkey comprises a time slice since about the end of the Oligocene and
has been dominated by the shortening of Eastern Turkey, which created the Turkish–Iranian …

Abstract On 6 February 2023, the Elbistan (Kahramanmaraş)(Mw7. 6) earthquake produced
a strike-slip type coseismic surface rupture zone, involving the sinistral slip of the …

We discuss the structure of the present Hellenic subduction zone. We show that the present
Hellenic subduction zone was formed at about 15 Ma when it started to consume the …

Abstract The Yeşilyurt-Elazığ Fault Zone (YEFZ) located in Eastern Anatolia is a
morphologically distinct NE-SW trending left-lateral strike-slip fault, about 150 km long. In …

The present tectonic framework of NW Turkey has been dominated by two major
deformational settings. The first of these is the West Anatolian Extension, which is …

Turkey is located in a seismically active region with a complex tectonic history. In order to
perform seismic risk assessment precisely, major fault zones (North Anatolian Fault Zone …

We utilize in situ U‐Pb geochronology of fault‐related calcite to date faulting activity along
the Dead Sea Transform (DST) plate boundary and constrain the evolution of continental …
