In the past two decades, because of the
significant increase in the availability of differential
interferometry from synthetic aperture radar and GPS
data, spaceborne geodesy has been widely employed
to determine the co-seismic displacement field of
earthquakes. On April 18, 2021, a moderate
earthquake (Mw 5.8) occurred east of Bandar
Ganaveh, sout...
Sentinel-1 Ascending/Descending interferogram/LOS, Slant range pixel offsets displacement maps, and 3D displacement view (exaggerated) of the 06.02.2023 Turkey Syria Earthquakes (Kahramanmaras, Pazarcık and Elbistan). InSAR data obtained from NERC_COMET and COMET database.
The geological and tectonic background of the Sabalan area in NW Iran and its present-day surface processes make it ideal for examining the effects of tectonic processes in shaping the Earth's crust. As a result of the intense distribution of pre-Quaternary and Quaternary structures (e.g., faults, joints and folds), most of the drainage basins in t...
Climate change adversely affects the environment and human life in many respects. The evidence for climate change on earth is quite solid and convincing. Observable rises in sea levels, melting of a glacier’s ice, the regression of the glacial areas, critical changes in annual precipitation patterns, and global warming increases are specific eviden...
The arc-shaped Bozgush Mountains is a remarkable morphological feature bounded by active faults in northwest Iran. The southern and northern parts of the mountain belt are limited by the South and North Bozgush Fault Zones, which produced numerous destructive earthquakes in historical and instrumental periods. We employed the Sentinel-1A Differenti...
Disasters can cause major damages and can even lead to the complete destruction of urban areas. The casualties and structural damages caused by disasters have forced people to take preventions to protect themselves and their assets. The first written document on disaster legislation in Turkish history is an edict issued by the Ottoman Sultan after...
Remote sensing studies have an essential role in identifying natural disaster risks and subsequently in urban planning. Remote sensing observations facilitate the determination of the land deformation related to active faults, saving time, and being more economical when compared with field studies. Furthermore, after earthquakes, it provides signif...
The Çaysimav segment constitutes one of the most important parts of the Sındırgı-Sinanpaşa Fault Zone, as one of the remarkable active fault zones in Western Anatolia. Numerous earthquakes (e.g., 1875-M: 6.1; 1928-Ms: 6.1; 1944-Ms: 6.0; March 28, 1970-Mw: 7.2; February 17, 2009-Mw: 5.3; May 19, 2011-Mw: 5.9; May 3, 2012-Mw: 5.8) have occurred along...
Aras Fault Zone (AFZ) is one of the most important intra-plate fault zones within the Turkish-Iranian Plateau. The AFZ is divided into five fault branches based on geometrical and structural properties called the Aras Main, Horadiz, Khodafarin, Asadkandi, and Aslanduz fault branches. Our geometric and kinematic analysis indicates that these faults...
Golestan Province is classified as an area of high risk concerning natural hazards. Earthquakes, floods, landslides, and land subsidence are among the disasters that affected this region. In recent years, remote sensing techniques have played a key role in determining land subsidence events that produce significant environmental problems in various...
The Golestan province is one of the regions with high natural disaster risk in Iran due to many natural disasters. In the last 30 years, many flood disasters have occurred because of heavy rains, and thus many people lost their lives, animals perished, residential and agricultural areas submerged, and significant structural damages occurred. These...
Complex geology and tectonics of the NW Iran, the Caucasus region, and EasternTurkey, are responsible for the present-day landscapes of the region. The Aras drain-age basin located in Iran, Azerbaijan and Armenia borders, provides an appropriategeographical environment for systematically studying the landforms produced ormodified by active tectonic...
The 1944 earthquake segment of the North Anatolian Fault Zone contains paleoseismological signatures of major earthquake events. The segment consists of three active main faults and secondary faults showing anastomosing fault pattern. Stratigraphic and structural relationships and radiocarbon ages from trench excavation reveal that the main active...
NW Iran is among the most interesting and complex areas within Arabian-Eurasia collision zone. Historical and instrumental earthquake records in this region indicate that active faults have the potential to produce serious seismic hazards in the future. The North Bozgush Fault Zone, an anastomosing fault zone, consists of several parallel and sub-p...
Turkey is among the countries most affected by disasters on a global scale due to its tectonic, seismic, topographic and climatic structures. Although disasters such as floods, landslides, rock falls, and avalanches are common in our country, earthquakes take the first place when evaluated in terms of their devastating effects. Turkey is located in...
Landscapes result in a combination of tectonic and climatic forces. The differential displacement of the land by tectonic processes changes the elevation of the surface of the earth's crust, and thus affects the rate of geomorphic processes. Tectonic and geomorphic processes are very tightly connected and their results are intertwined. The present...
This study focus on the structural architecture of the Kayaonu fault zone (KOFZ) in Central
Taurides. The KOFZ is a normal fault and juxtapose Mesozoic basement rocks and Cenozoic
basin rocks. The length of the outcropping fault zone is more than 25 km showing 100 meters of
throw and 175 meters of heave in typical exposing site. Part of fault scarp...
ÖZET Türkiye, jeolojik, jeomorfolojik ve özellikle deprem potansiyeli nedeniyle afetlerden en fazla etkilenen ülkeler arasındadır. Heyelan, su baskını, sel ve çığ gibi afetler sık yaşanan afet türleri olmasına rağmen yıkıcı etkileri açısından değerlendirildiğinde ilk sırayı depremler almaktadır. Ülkemizde ortalama olarak her yıl büyüklüğü 5 ile 6 a...

NW Iran records a complex tectonic history and is one of the seismically active regions between
the Zagros thrust belt at the south and Caucasus at the north part. The North Bozgush Fault
Zone (NBFZ) that bound north part of arch-shaped Bozgush Mountains has tens of kilometers in
length and hundreds of meters in width. The zone has produced not onl...
NW Iran, including the study area is one of the seismically active regions between Zagros Thrust Belt at the south and Caucasus at the north. In this region, an area known as Alborz-Azerbaijan zone includes many significant active fault zones. Not only large magnitude historical earthquakes (Ms>7), but also 1997 Ardebil (Mw 6.1) and 2012 Ahar-Varza...

Adakoy fault zone (AFZ) is an extensional brittle shear zone which lies
within Galatya Volcanic Province characterized by Neogene lava flows and
intercalated with pyroclastics and fluvia-lacustrine sedimentary
sequences in NW central Turkey. The trace of the zone is more than 12 km
in length and oriented west-northwest. The AFZ is a ~2 km wide faul...
