This article is aimed to give the first results of the project studying the faults and tectonic style of the southwestern part of Turkey based on remote sensing techniques. LANDSAT-TM and ASTER satellite data have been used in visual interpretation. The several techniques based on DEM have been applying to interpret in the determining of the tectonic features. The anaglyph image produced from L...

The island of Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain), is showing possible signs of reawakening after its last basaltic strombolian eruption, dated 1909 at Chinyero. The main concern relates to the central active volcanic complex Teide – Pico Viejo, which poses serious hazards to the properties and population of the island of Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain), and which has erupted several times during...

In order to develop a solid earth science framework for understanding and studying of active tectonic and earthquake processes, this task develops simulation and analysis tools to study the physics of earthquakes using state-of-the-art modeling, data manipulation, and pattern recognition technologies. We develop clearly defined accessible data formats and code protocols as inputs to the simulat...

extended abstract 1. introduction neo-tectonics is the study of horizontal and vertical motions of earth’s crust originating from the late periods of neogen and quaternary. many researchers have defined tectotecnic as “the beginning of earth’s crust motions after the earliest orogenic phase” (stipancikova et al., 2008, p. 68). since there is no possibility of having access to the old seismic re...

The Messina Strait, that separates peninsular Italy from Sicily, is one of the most seismically active areas of the Mediterranean. The structure and seismotectonic setting of the region are poorly understood, although the area is highly populated and important infrastructures are planned there. New seismic reflection data have identified a number of faults, as well as a crustal scale NE-trendin...

The Behabad region is located within a tectono–sedimentary zone in southeast Yazd province, Central Iran. The tectonic activities have deformed and faulted the Mesozoic and Quaternary formations in this area. The faults in Kuhbanan and Behabad have played a key role in the evolution of geological events, mineralization, and the formation of Behabad–Kuhbanan horst. These faults have separated th...
