Sebastián Núñez-Jara from Patricia’s ERC QUAKEHUNTER group published a paper in Earth and Planetary Science Letters entitled “Unraveling the spatiotemporal fault activation in a complex fault system: the run-up to the 2023 MW 7.8 Kahramanmaraş earthquake, Türkiye”. The study builds…
Xiang Chen published another paper entitled “Rupture Directivity of Moderate Earthquakes Along the Main Marmara Fault Suggests Larger Ground Motion Towards Istanbul”, this time in the Geophysical Research Letters. In the paper, she calculates rupture directivity of 31 earthquakes with…
On February 6th, 2023, the devastating Mw 7.8 Kahramanmaraş earthquake in South East Türkiye ruptured multiple fault segments of the East Anatolian Fault Zone. This earthquake and its aftershock sequence was followed by a second large earthquake with MW 7.6…
Patricia published a paper on 2022 Mw 6.0 Gölyaka–Düzce earthquake that occurred in Western Türkiye. In the paper she discusses the source parameters and evolution of the seismicity framing the earthquake. Her primary goal was to determine how the earthquake initiated,…
