Founded in 1997 by late Aykut Barka, the Active Tectonics Research Group (ATAG) is a non-official scientific gathering of Turkish Earth scientists and students.

The main purpose of the group is to organize annual meetings and field trips in Turkey, to give early career scientists and students from the Turkish universities/institutions a chance to present their active tectonics related work. Having a local perspective, foreign participation is also possible.

The ATAG mail list has over two hundred subscribers; please feel free to post your active-tectonics related messages. The mail list address is: atag-liste at listeci.itu.edu.tr
