TLDR
In this paper, the authors presented selections from and a synthesis of a high-resolution bathymetric, sparker and deep-towed seismic reflection data set recently acquired by the French Ifremer R.V. Le Suroit in an E-W deep trough that formed the northern half of the Sea of Marmara in NW Turkey.About:

TL;DR: The North Anatolian Fault (NAF) as discussed by the authors is a 1200 km-long dextral strike-slip fault zone that formed by progressive strain localization in a generally westerly widening right-lateral keirogen in northern Turkey mostly along an interface juxtaposing subduction-accretion material to its south and older and stiffer continental basements to its north.

Earthquakes in the Mediterranean and Middle East: A Multidisciplinary Study of Seismicity up to 1900
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an evaluation of macroseismic data and a Catalogue of earthquakes and a long-term seismicity evaluation of instrumental data, as well as future challenges in the field of seismology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetric slip partitioning in the Sea of Marmara pull-apart: a clue to propagation processes of the North Anatolian Fault?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on the submarine fault system that formed a smaller pull-apart beneath the Northern Sea of Marmara, between two well-known strike-slip faults on land (Izmit and Ganos faults).
Journal ArticleDOI
Recalculated probability of M >= 7 earthquakes beneath the Sea of Marmara, Turkey
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used bathymetric images of the North Anatolian fault beneath the Sea of Marmara to provide a revised forecast and an evaluation of time-dependent interaction techniques.

Active tectonics of Mediterranean region
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined more than 100 fault plane solutions for earthquakes within the Alpide belt between the Mid-Atlantic ridge and Eastern Iran and found that the deformation at present occurring is the result of small continental plates moving away from Eastern Turkey and Western Iran.

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.

Active tectonics of the Alpine—Himalayan belt: the Aegean Sea and surrounding regions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that rapid extension is now taking place in the northern and eastern parts of the Aegean sea region and that the seafloor has been stretched by a factor of two since the Miocene.
