Zusammenfassung |
The Ismetpasa segment of the North Anatolian Fault (NAF) is a rare
place where aseismic fault slip (creep) has been observed. Its creep
behaviour has been monitored using different observation methods
since the 1950s. The findings obtained from the studies until 1990s
showed that the creep rate exponentially decreased before the major
shocks in 1999, Golcuk (Mw = 7.4) and Duzce (Mw = 7.2). After these shocks, three GPS periods observation in 2002,
2007 and 2008 were carried out on the geodetic network established
around the segment. The evaluations of these observations showed
that the creep behaviour relaxed after the major earthquakes. This
result demonstrates that the creep behaviour of the Ismetpasa
segment might be a warning before future major earthquakes. |
