Palaeoseismological Investigations On The Karadere Segment, North Anatolian Fault Zone, Turkey, Aynur Di̇kbaş, Hüsnü Serdar Akyüz
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
The Karadere segment of the North Anatolian Fault (NAF) is the easternmost part that ruptured during the 17 August 1999 İzmit earthquake (Mw 7.4). It has a different orientation, at N65°E to other segments which have a nearly E-W trend, and lesser dextral displacement, with maximum 2.3 m in contrast with 5.2 m in the ruptured neighbouring western segment. Two palaeoseismological trenches, at Kazimiye and Karadere sites, were excavated on the central part of the Karadere segment to determine the timing of past earthquakes. Excavation of the Kazimiye site revealed the occurrence of five past events since the 4th century …

The 6 September 2009 Mw5.4 Earthquake In Eastern Albania – Fyrom Border: Focal Mechanisms, Slip Model, Shakemap, Anastasia Kiratzi
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
On 6 September 2009 (GMT 21:49) a moderate Mw5.4 earthquake sequence burst at the eastern border of Albania with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM). The main shock was located ~6 km north of the epicentre of the 30 November 1967 Mw6.2 Dibra (or Debar) earthquake, which caused loss of life and considerable damage to buildings. We use broad band waveforms recorded by the Hellenic Unified Seismic Network (HUSN), which receives real-time waveforms from the neighbouring networks, to compute focal mechanisms, obtain the slip model and derive the Shake Map of the mainshock. The focal mechanisms of 18 of …
