Deformation along an apparent seismic barrier: a palaeoseismological study along the North Anatolian Fault

An overstep in the North Anatolian Fault, possibly acting as a seismic barrier, was investigated for its structural and palaeoseismological characteristics. Study interests were: i) to find overstep related spatial changes in deformation which would help assess the structure as a long term singulari...
