    Yılmaz, Zeynep. (Thesis (Ph.D.)-Bogazici University. Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute, 2022., 2022)
    A series of earthquakes occurred along the North Anatolian Fault (NAF) during the 20th century, primarily migrating from east to west. The only part of the NAF that has not broken is under the Marmara Sea. The Main Marmara ...
  • Investigating crustal structure of the Marmara region using local tomography and seismic anisotropy anisotropy methods 
    Polat, Gülten. (Thesis (Ph.D.)-Bogazici University. Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute, 2019., 2019.)
    The crustal structure underneath the Marmara region was investigated by uti lizing local tomography and shear wave splitting methods in this study. These regions have high seismicity and are thus of serious importance to ...
  • Lithospheric structure of the western Turkey and aegean region 
    Afacan Ergün, Tuğçe. (Thesis (Ph.D.)-Bogazici University. Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute, 2019., 2019.)
    Aegean-Anatolia region undergoes an intense internal deformation as evidenced by the existence of major active faults, intense seismic activity and the marked thinning of the crust. It makes the region center of attraction ...
  • Modelling 3D seismic wave propagation in Marmara region 
    Yelkenci, Seda. (Thesis (Ph.D.)-Bogazici University. Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute, 2016., 2016.)
    This study focuses on the modeling of 3D seismic wave propagation in the east of the Marmara Sea in particular for the city of Istanbul, which is identified as one of the megacities with the highest seismic risk in the ...
  • Paleoseismological studies on Düzce fault and geological data on the seismogenic sources in the vicinity of Düzce area 
    Komut, Tolga. (Thesis (Ph.D.)- Bogazici University. Kandilli Observatory and Eartquake Research Institute, 2005., 2005.)
    In 1999, two earthquakes ruptured the Northern Almaclk strand (NAIS) of the North Anatolian Fault that includes the Diizce and Aksu faults, producing surface rupture along the northern border of the Almaclk block. ...
  • Seismic interactions and related faulting revealed by moderate to large earthquakes in the SE Aegean region 
    Eskiköy, Figen. (Thesis (Ph.D.)-Bogazici University. Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute, 2022., 2022)
    Southern Aegean and Western Turkey are mainly dominated by significant exten sional regime and crustal thinning. Segmented normal faults and horst graben systems with varying orientations characterize the region. In these ...
  • Source properties of micro - earthquakes in eastern Marmara and their connection to the structure of the Çınarcık basın 
    Can, Birsen. (Thesis (Ph.D.)-Bogazici University. Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute, 2019., 2019.)
    This study mainly focuses on the source properties of micro-earthquakes in Eastern Marmara and their connection to the structure of the Çınarcık Basin, in particular. Throughout this study, Prince Islands Real Time Earthquake ...
  • Studying seismotectonics of Eastern and Southern Anatolia using earthquake mechanisms 
    Güvercin, Sezim Ezgi. (Thesis (Ph.D.)-Bogazici University. Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute, 2019., 2019.)
    The Anatolia-Aegean domain provides a unique opportunity to explore plate interactions where oceanic subduction, continental collision and transform plate motions are observed simultaneously. High seismicity rates and ...
  • Surface wave tomography of Turkey and surroundings 
    Cambaz, Musavver Didem. (Thesis (Ph.D.)-Bogazici University. Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute, 2010., 2010.)
    Seismic wave velocities can be obtained by using active or passive sources with appropriate arrays. Seismic reflection and refraction surveys using active sources are the most traditional ones. However the cost as well as ...
