Coherence Tracking Measurements of the August 1999 Izmit Earthquake
The 17 of August 1999, an important earthquake of magnitude 7.6 occurred along the North Anatolian fault in the area of Izmit (Turkey). Relative horizontal displacements up to 4.5 meters were observed. The epicenter of the earthquake under concern is located in Golcuk, near the city of Izmit, on the South border of the Marmara Sea. The fault in the vicinity of Izmit is mainly oriented along an ...
متن کاملDeformation due to the 17 August 1999 Izmit, Turkey, earthquake measured from SPOT images
[1] The geometry of the ruptured areas and the coseismic slip distribution data are key to highlighting the behavior of seismic faults. This information is generally retrieved from field investigations and geodetic measurements or synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferometry. Here we show that SPOT images can also be used to accurately map the fault zone and to determine the slip distribution ...
متن کاملA New Observation of Dynamically Triggered Regional Seismicity: Earthquakes in Greece Following the August, 1999 Izmit, Turkey Earthquake
The M•,=7.4 Izmit, Turkey earthquake triggered widespread regional seismicity in Greece over a study region extending from 400 km to nearly 1000 km away from the epicenter. Small events began immediately after the passage of the mainshock surface waves suggesting that the transient stresses of the seismic waves were the trigger. The increase in cataloged earthquakes in ordinary continental crus...
متن کاملRestoration Activities Following the Marmara, Turkey Earthquake of August 17, 1999 (1999-2000)
The primary objective of the research is to provide detailed information on various social aspects of the Marmara earthquake. In particular, the research focuses on activities aimed at restoring basic social functions to the impacted region during the early recovery phase of the disaster. This paper examines three of those functions: (1) housing, (2) education, and (3) health care. The paper co...
