Seismic hazard assessment of the central North Anatolian Fault (Turkey) from GPS-derived strain rates and b-values

Seismic hazard assessment of the central North Anatolian Fault (Turkey) from GPS-derived strain rates and b-values

The North Anatolian Fault (NAF) represents one of the most seismically active transform zones on Earth. It is characterized by high rates of crustal deformation that generate destructive earthquakes. These rates are induced by convergence of the northward-migrating Arabian and African plates with re...
