TL;DR: In this article, the authors present and interpret GPS measurements of crustal motions for the period 1988-1997 at 189 sites extending east-west from the Caucasus mountains to the Adriatic Sea and north-south from the southern edge of the Eurasian plate to the northern edge of Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global Positioning System measurements of present-day crustal movements in the Arabia-Africa-Eurasia plate collision zone
Robert Reilinger,Simon McClusky,M. B. Oral,Robert W. King,M. N. Toksoz,Aykut Barka,I. Kinik,Onur Lenk,I. Sanli +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present and interpret GPS measurements of crustal motions for the period 1988-1994 at 54 sites extending east-west from the Caucasus mountains of southern Russia, Georgia, and Armenia to the Aegean coast of Turkey and north-south from the southern edge of the Eurasian plate (Pontus block) to the northern edge of a platform.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coseismic and Postseismic Fault Slip for the 17 August 1999, M = 7.5, Izmit, Turkey Earthquake.
R. E. Reilinger,Semih Ergintav,Roland Bürgmann,Simon McClusky,Onur Lenk,Aykut Barka,O. Gurkan,L. Hearn,Kurt L. Feigl,R. Cakmak,Bahadır Aktuğ,Haluk Ozener,M. N. Toksoz +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Global Positioning System (GPS) observations and elastic half-space models to estimate the distribution of coseismic and postseismic slip along the Izmit earthquake rupture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Izmit (Turkey) Earthquake of 17 August 1999: First Report
TL;DR: The largest and most destructive earthquake to occur in Turkey since the 1939 Erzincan earthquake occurred on the western extension of the North Anatolian Fault, on a segment that has been identified as a "seismic gap".
Journal ArticleDOI
Lunar Crust: Structure and Composition
M. N. Toksoz,Frank Press,Kenneth R. Anderson,Anton M. Dainty,Gary V. Latham,Maurice Ewing,James Dorman,D. Lammlein,George H. Sutton,Frederick K. Duennebier,Yosio Nakamura +10 more
TL;DR: Lunar seismic data from artificial impacts recorded at three Apollo seismometers are interpreted to determine the structure of the moon's interior to a depth of about 100 kilomneters in the Fra Mauro region of Oceanus Procellarum.
