AGU 2014 – 15 years of geodetic monitoring of inter- and post-seismic deformation

23 Temmuz 2014 • Kategori: Haberler/Duyurular

AGU 2014 kapsamında düzenlenen ve İzmit/Düzce depremleri sonrası devam eden çalışmaların yer alacağı oturum duyurusu şu şekildedir:

Dear colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to our AGU session # 2851, “What we have learned from 15 years of geodetic monitoring of inter- and post-seismic deformation, and what we still need to know” [T + G, NH, S]. The session description is below and more information may be found at

https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm14/webprogrampreliminary/Session2851.html.

We hope you and your colleagues will consider submitting an abstract based on your work – past, present, and looking to the future – on data- and modeling-driven post-seismic studies in general and on this anniversary, 15 years after the Izmit and Duzce earthquakes on the North Anatolian Fault.

Please also encourage your colleagues that would be interested in such a landmark session to submit an abstract accordingly.

Abstracts may be submitted through
http://agu.confex.com/agu/fm14/t/papers/index.cgi?sessionid=2851
and must be completed by Wednesday 6 August 2014 at 23:59 EDT.

We hope to see you in San Francisco in December!

Sincerely,

Mike Floyd, MIT, USA
Semih Ergintav, Bogazici University, Turkey
Simon McClusky, Australian National University, Australia
Eric Hetland, University of Michigan, USA

The 1999 Mw7.4 Izmit and Mw7.2 Ducze earthquakes on the North Anatolian Fault (NAF) in Turkey are among the earliest geodetically observed earthquakes. 15 years later, there is a rich geodetic record that includes pre-earthquake inter-seismic velocities, co-seismic displacements, and a long record of transient post-seismic deformation. Yet this window captures a small fraction of the earthquake cycle for the NAF, of which a complete  understanding is important for assessing the earthquake hazard in the region. This session focuses on two inter-related questions: What have we learned from these geodetic observations, and what do we still need to know? We welcome contributions from data acquisition and processing (e.g. GPS, InSAR, gravity), and modeling studies based on the Izmit and Duzce post-seismic processes. We also encourage contributions from comparable studies of other continental fault systems with instrumentally observed earthquakes, such as in California, Mexic! o, Haiti, New Zealand, Alaska and Tibet.
