<div class="col-md-5 "><u> </u>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.</div>
<div class="col-md-5 "><br>
</div>
<div class="col-md-5 "> 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
