Numerical modelling of the absolute stress state in the Marmara region - a contribution to seismic hazard assessment
Abstract:
The kinematics and dynamics of the Sea of Marmara region are addressed using 3D geomechanical numerical modelling. The velocity field and absolute stress in the crust are modelled both in the long-term and during the interseismic period. A number of quantities relevant for seismic hazard assessment are derived.
