“…The modern morphology of the Marmara region, which consists of the Marmara Sea and its surroundings, including the Biga and Gelibolu peninsulas, mostly reflects remnants of a mature horizontal erosion surface termed the ThraceKocaeli peneplain (Cvijic 1908;Pamir 1938;Emre et al 1998;Erinç 2000;Elmas 2003;Gökaşan et al 2005Gökaşan et al , 2008Yılmaz et al 2010). According to Yılmaz et al (2010), the erosion of this peneplain took place from the Late Oligocene to the end of the Late Miocene.…”

“…Previous studies in the northeastern corner of the Aegean Sea primarily focused on the evolution of the Saros Gulf (Saner 1985;Tüysüz et al 1998;Yaltırak et al 1998;Saatçılar et al 1999;Kurt et al 2000;Ustaömer et al 2008), the Çanakkale Strait (Yalçınlar 1949;Erol 1968Erol , 1992Elmas and Meriç 1998;Yaltırak et al 2000;Gökaşan et al 2008Gökaşan et al , 2010 and the Ganos Fault, the latter being the western continuation of the northern segment of the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NS-NAFZ;Saner 1985;Elmas and Meriç 1998;Tüysüz et al 1998;Yaltırak et al 1998Okay et al 1999Okay et al , 2004Ustaömer et al 2008).

8 January 2013 Mw = 5.7 North Aegean Sea earthquake and its seismotectonic significance

The deformation of the North Aegean Sea is mainly controlled by the westernmost segments of North Anatolian Fault System. On 8 January 2013, a moderate earthquake (Mw = 5.7) occurred in the North Aegean Sea. A series of aftershocks were occurred within four months following the mainshock, which have magnitudes varying from Ml = 0.9 to 5.0. We have obtained a total of 23 earthquake moment tensor solutions that belong to the 2013 earthquake sequence. The source of this earthquake sequence is a N75°E trending pure dextral strike-slip fault. The temporal and spatial distribution of the earthquakes indicate that the rupture unilaterally propagates from SW to NE. The stress tensor analysis shows that the direction of the regional compressive stress is WNW-ESE. The 1968 Aghios earthquake (Ms = 7.3) and the 2013 North Aegean Sea earthquake sequences indicate that the regional stress has been transferred from SW to NE in this region. The 1672 Bozcaada earthquake (M = 7.0) had been occurred to the north-east of the 2013 earthquake sequence. The elapsed time (342 year) and the regional stress transfer point out that the 1672 earthquake segment is probably a seismic gap and it is a potential earthquake hazard for this region.

Population dynamics of a temperate coral along a depth gradient in the Dardanelles

Notwithstanding the importance of analyzing the variations of population dynamic traits along environmental gradients for assessing coral resilience to global climate change, temperate areas are more understudied than tropical regions. In the Mediterranean Sea, some studies are available for its western basin, while there is a lack of information for its eastern basin. This study starts to fill this gap, by determining the demographic characteristics of the solitary zooxanthellate scleractinian Balanophyllia europaea in the Dardanelles (Turkey) along a 1-21 m depth transect. The population dynamics of B. europaea from this site in the eastern Mediterranean Sea was compared with the populations in the NW Mediterranean Sea. In particular, the sites of Calafuria and Palinuro (Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy) were chosen for the comparison since their temperature and latitude, respectively, were similar to that of the Dardanelles population. The population density in the Dardanelles increased exponentially with depth, possibly due to lower current and wave action, and higher salinity at depth. Age structure in the Dardanelles was relatively overrepresented in younger age classes with increasing depth. Nevertheless, this difference in age structure was not strong enough to cause trends with depth for all derived demographic parameters. In comparison with Italian populations, age structure presented a higher frequency of young individuals and were more stable in the Dardanelles, likely due to the less intense wave action. Hosting different clades of symbiotic algae may also contribute to these differences, but molecular studies are necessary to verify this hypothesis.
