TL;DR: In this article, the authors report that during the two devastating 1999 earthquakes in Turkey, rupture propagated over a large part of the nearly 200km long fault zone at supershear speed approaching 5km/s.

TL;DR: Observations show that one of the best-recorded large earthquakes to date, the 1999 moment magnitude 7.6 Izmit (Turkey) earthquake, was preceded by a seismic signal of long duration that originated from the hypocenter that consisted of a succession of repetitive seismic bursts, accelerating with time, and increased low-frequency seismic noise.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the records of the ground motion obtained at near-fault accelerometers to study the space and time evolution of rupture and faulting during the Izmit earthquake.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used near-fault accelerograms to infer the space-time history of rupture on the Duzce fault during the Izmit earthquake, and they found that the ground displacement and velocity near the fault were surprisingly simple.

TL;DR: The surface trace of these faults is described in the field or seen on satellite images as remarkably linear, continuous and narrow as mentioned in this paper, and the segmentation features along these segments are small or absent and the deformation is highly localized.
