“…geophysical surveys have been carried out in the Gulf of Gökova in order to delineate fault systems of this region (Iscan, Tur, & Gokasan, 2013;Kurt, Demirbag, & Kuscu, 1999;Tur, Yaltirak, Elitez, & Sarikavak, 2015;Ulug, Duman, Ersoy, Ozel, & Avci, 2005). According to the results obtained from these surveys (Figure 1), the GFZ runs E-W parallel to the coast in the eastern part of Gökova Gulf from Akyaka to Ören, where it makes a left bend and continues west-southwestward that splay into several submarine fault strands displaying an anastomosing pattern, where there is a number of second order faults between the seismic segments (Figure 2).…”

Greek-Turkish boundary near the cities Kos and Bodrum has been shaken on July 20, 2017 by a Mw6.6 earthquake. The mainshock is located offshore and did not generate an on-land surface rupture. Analyzing pre-and post-earthquake continuous/survey-type static GPS observations, we investigated co-seismic surface displacements at 20 sites to characterize source parameters and slip-distribution of the mainshock. Fault plane solutions as well as co-seismic slip distribution have been acquired through the inversion of co-seismic GPS displacements modeling the event as elastic dislocations in a half space. Fault plane solution shows a southward dipping normaltype fault segment extending a depth down to ~12 km, which remains within the brittle upper crust. Results from the distributed slip inversion show that the mainshock activated a ~65 km fault section, which has three high slip patches, namely western, central and eastern patches, where the coseismic slips reach up to 13, 26, and 5 cm, respectively. This slip pattern indicates that the pre-earthquake coupling, which is storing the slip deficit, occurred on these three patches.

“…While this has not been observed, there have been few detailed studies of the region, and some of the shorelines are subject to subsidence related to the N-S extension of SW Turkey (e.g. Altunel et al 2003;Ulug et al 2005). Furthermore, uplift scales linearly with slip, so that far-field uplift is much more sensitive to uncertainties in sea level history.…”

S U M M A R YSeveral large earthquakes in the Hellenic subduction zone have been documented in historical records from around the eastern Mediterranean, but the relative seismic quiescence of the region over the period of instrumental observation means that the exact locations of these earthquakes and their tectonic significance are not known. We present AMS radiocarbon dates from uplifted late Holocene palaeoshorelines from the island of Rhodes, showing that uplift is most consistent with a single large (M W ≥ 7.7) reverse-faulting earthquake between about 2000 BC and 200 BC. Analysis of the uplift treating the earthquake as a dislocation in an elastic half-space shows a predominantly reverse-faulting event with a slip vector oblique to the direction of convergence between Rhodes and Nubia. We suggest that the fault responsible for the uplift dips at an angle of 30-60• above the more gently dipping oblique subduction interface. The highly oblique convergence across the eastern Hellenic plate boundary zone appears to be partitioned into reverse slip on faults that strike parallel to the boundary and strike-parallel or oblique slip on the subduction interface. Hydrodynamical simulation of tsunami propagation from a range of tectonically plausible sources suggests that earthquakes on the fault uplifting Rhodes represent a significant tsunami hazard for Rhodes and SW Turkey, and also possibly for Cyprus and the Nile Delta.
