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
GPS constraints on continental deformation in the Africa-Arabia-Eurasia continental collision zone and implications for the dynamics of plate interactions

TL;DR: In this article, an elastic block model was developed to constrain present-day plate motions (relative Euler vectors), regional deformation within the interplate zone, and slip rates for major faults.
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
Geodetic constraints on the tectonic evolution of the Aegean region and strain accumulation along the Hellenic subduction zone
TL;DR: In this article, GPS velocities were used to estimate the timing of initiation of principal structures in NW Turkey, the N Aegean Sea, and central Greece, including, the Marmara Sea, the Gulfs of Evia (GoE), the Corinth (GoC), and the Kephalonia Transform fault (KTF), during the past 1-4 Ma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimates of Seismic Potential in the Marmara Sea Region from Block Models of Secular Deformation Constrained by Global Positioning System Measurements
Brendan J. Meade,Bradford H. Hager,Simon McClusky,Robert Reilinger,Semih Ergintav,Onur Lenk,Aykut Barka,Haluk Ozener +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors model the geodetically observed secular velocity field in north- western Turkey with a block model that accounts for recoverable elastic-strain ac- cumulation.
