[Geoqus] Final call for EGU 2020 abstracts for session ST5.15 Seismotectonics of the Marmara Sea

Tue Jan 7 09:45:15 CET 2020

Dear Colleagues,

the deadline for the abstract submission is on January 15th and thus we 
would like to draw your attention and invite you to consider submitting 
an abstract to the session *ST5.15 **Seismotectonics of the Marmara Sea* 
to be held at the EGU General Assembly 2020, May 3–8, in Vienna.

*Abstract submission:

__The continuation of the North Anatolian fault below the Marmara Sea is 
the segment where the next strong earthquake is expected after the 1999 
Izmit event. Since the city of Istanbul is very close to the seismic gap 
the seismic risk is probably very high. Furthermore, the fault seems to 
be mature given the fact that the last major event struck the area in 
1766 and a return period of approximately 250 years. However, to assess 
the hazard and risk in detail a number of open scientific key question 
have to be addressed that are critical to assess the seismic hazard in 
terms of maximum earthquake magnitude, location, nucleation area and 
rupture propagation direction. To better address these questions an 
integration of different geo-disciplines is essential in order to better 
describe the structural setting, rheology, temperature and density 
distribution, spatio-temporal deformation and all kinds of observation 
data ranging from satellite geodesy, seismology, geological to 
geomorphological.

The main goal of this session is to bring together researchers from 
various geodisciplines that contribute to a thorough understanding of 
the driving processes below the Sea of Marmara on different 
spatio-temporal scales. Furthermore, it is intended to identify open 
key-questions and future challenges. Contributions may regard, but are 
not limited to, studies of:

- Seismic Monitoring of the Marmara seismic gap
- Historical seismicity and paleoseismological investigations
- Co-, inter- and post-seismic observations and models
- Forward and inverse models of THM-processes and 3D subsurface structure
- Structural investigations from active profiling, receiver functions 
and tomography
- Interpretation and modelling of stress and strain observations
- Finite geologic strain versus geodetic strain
- Relationship between crustal deformation, heat flow and seismicity
- Seismic hazard and risk assessment and early warning systems

*Confirmed invited speaker* is *Pierre Henry* (CEREGE, Aix Marseille 
Univ., CNRS, IRD, INRA, Coll. France, Aix-Marseille, France) who will 
give an overview talk/./

We look forward to receiving your contributions and thank you very much 
for your attention.

Sincerely yours, session conveners,
Oliver Heidbach
