The Sea of Marmara (SoM), located on the North Anatolian Fault, is under the risks of large earthquakes, submarine landslides and tsunamis. It is also under a serious environmental risk. The SoM is also interesting in terms of its oceanographic setting between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, being characterized by a two-layer flow system. The study of the ecosystems, especially those located...
The late glacial to Holocene sedimentary record of the northern shelf of the Sea of Marmara (SoM) has been documented by detailed seismo-, chrono-, and biostratigraphic analyses using sub-bottom (Chirp) profiles and sediment cores. During MIS 3 and the main part of MIS 2 (60–15 14C ka b.p.), disconnection from the Mediterranean and Black seas together with a dry climate resulted in a regression in...
In 1999, the large surface-rupturing earthquakes of Izmit and Duzce completed a 60-year cycle that included a westward migration of nine consecutive large earthquake failures (>50 km surface rupture), which started with the 1939 Erzincan earthquake in eastern Turkey. In this study, we focused on seismic cycles and seismic risk predictability along the North Anatolian Fault (NAF). Toward the west...
