چکیده

The extension Aegean region is seismically one of the most active regions in the world. During history many large,intermediate and micro-earthquakes have occurred in this region (34°N–43°N, 20°E–30°E). To understand the tectonic characteristics of the region, in this study the seismicity parameters (b- values, a- values, Magnitude of completeness (Mc)) of this region were calculated. For the aim, two event categories were constructed. The first catalog from 1900 to 28 July 2019 includes only large and intermediate earthquakes with magnitudes greater than M ≥ 5 occurred in this region (Figure 1-a). Before this period, station coverage for this region was not good to correctly calculate earthquake parameters. Therefore, earthquakes with magnitudes less than M ≥ 2 in the catalog were excluded. As a result of this, only large and intermediate earthquakes for this period were selected. Another catalog from 2012 to 28 July 2019 includes all earthquakes with greater than ML ≥ 2 occurred in this region (Figure 1-b). The constructed seismic event catalogs within the periods were recorded by seismic stations that are operated by Boğaziçi University Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute (KOERI) and Disaster and Emergency Management Authority Presidential of Earthquake Department (AFAD). To improve the determining seismic parameters of the study area, the earthquake catalogs from KOERI and AFAD were initially combined. Then, declustering method was applied to discriminate real (natural) seismic events from artificial (unnatural) events.

اطلاعات بیشتر در مورد COI

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
