Contemporary Velocity Field for Turkey Inferred from Combination of a Dense Network of Long Term GNSS Observations

The Anatolia?Aegean domain represents a broad plate boundary zone, with the deformation accommodated by major faults bounding quasi-low deforming units. First-order features of this were obtained in form GNSS-derived velocity field. During last decade, accuracy solutions was improved, and expansion continuous networks increased spatial resolution. Nonetheless, an accurate representation field requires interstation distances much lower than locking depth nearby faults, which has not yet been satisfied. basis for creating precise is uniform processing time series recorded both campaign permanent GNSS stations, at once single reference system. Although Anatolia data density 6-fold since landmark work Reilinger et al. (2006), crucial integration made. We aim to fill gap analyzing providing solution. In study, we processed 836 178 are published first time. With period up 28 years, present most temporal resolution homogeneity. used improved coverage calculate strain accumulation on North East Anatolian Faults. Modelled slip rates vary between 20 26 mm/yr 9.7 11 respectively. can better constrain kinematics continental deformation, provide conditions dynamic models, help test outstanding hypotheses about Anatolia-Aegean domain.
