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.

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
GPS-derived velocity field of the Iznik-Mekece segment of the North Anatolian Fault Zone
TL;DR: In this paper, GPS data have been continuously collected at these locations since 1994 for the monitoring of crustal deformation in the Iznik-Mekece fault segment of the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ).
Journal ArticleDOI
Gravimetric examination of Hagia Sophia's subsurface structure
TL;DR: In this paper, the subsurface structure of Hagia Sophia, one of the oldest sacred monuments in the world built between 532-537 under the reign of Justinian in today's Istanbul, has been investigated by using two relative LaCoste-Romberg gravimeters in order to detect hidden cavities which have also served as earthquake dampers in similar constructions.
