Surface Ruptures Associated with the 2023 Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes in Turkey

This book provides extensive data on the surface ruptures resulting from two large earthquakes that occurred in Kahramanmaras, Turkey, on February 6, 2023.The data were exhaustively gathered through on-site observations, systematic measurements, and advanced remote sensing techniques involving high-resolution image analysis along approximately 550 km of surface ruptures.Key features of the book include: 1) detailed insights into the active tectonic framework of the region where the February 6 earthquakes occurred, 2) a comprehensive characteristics of the East Anatolian Fault zone within the broader context of active tectonics, 3) a thorough analysis of the surface rupture geometry and segmentation pertaining to the earthquakes, 4) surface rupture maps at a scale of 1:2,000, derived from high-resolution lidar and drone imagery combined with digital terrain models data, 5) extensive offset measurements and corresponding change graphs, and 6) visual content, including lidar, drone,and ca
