Funds are provided to process the data collected on two geophysical cruises in the Sea of Marmara. The PIs will combine the results from the collected chirp, sidescan, and bathymetric data with detailed sedimentology of piston cores and land-based observations to work out the configuration of the fault zone and to determine the history of paleoseismicity by correlating submarine landslides and turbidites to individual paloearthquakes. The work will have important societal relevance as it will lead to better understanding of the nature of deformation associated with the earthquakes and their history in the region.

为处理在马尔马拉海进行的两次地球物理巡航所收集的数据提供了资金。pi将把收集到的啁啾、侧扫描和测深数据的结果与活塞岩心的详细沉积学和陆地观测相结合，计算出断裂带的结构，并通过将海底滑坡和浊积与单个古地震相关联来确定古地震活动的历史。这项工作将具有重要的社会意义，因为它将使人们更好地了解与地震有关的变形性质及其在该地区的历史。
