“…We assume that for the small events in the Sea of Marmara region ≈ (Kılıç et al, 2017) and convert all the magnitudes in the catalog to MW. We utilize the maximum curvature technique and a method based on a goodness-of-fit technique (Woessner & Wiemer, 2005) to estimate the temporal evolution of the magnitude of completeness using a sliding window of 100 events (Fig S2).…”

For decades the Earth's periodic phenomena such as tidal movements or seasonal effects have been studied to investigate whether small, but predictable stress changes are sufficient to trigger regular or low-frequency earthquakes (Obara, 2002;Tanaka et al., 2002). The response to a known forcing can provide insight into the stress change needed to activate faults and hence the probable timing of earthquakes, and more generally to the processes promoting earthquake initiation. Solid-Earth tides can trigger both earthquakes and tectonic tremor. The conditions that promote tremor include elevated pore pressure and low effective normal stresses, and hence triggering of tectonic tremor by solid-earth tides has been observed often where ambient tremor occurs, including Nankai (Shelly et al., 2007), Cascadia (Rubinstein et al., 2008), and the creeping portion of the San Andreas Fault (Thomas et al., 2009, van der Elst et al., 2016. Tidal triggering of earthquakes is far less common, and has been observed in only a few places where the Earth's crust is sufficiently close to failure that small stress changes can induce slip, including shallow thrust faults at global scale (Cochran et al., 2004) and mid-oceanic ridges such as the East Pacific Rise (Stroup et al., 2007). An extreme case of triggered seismicity from periodic changes in the water level comes from the Koyna and Warna hydro-electric power plants in India, where M > 5 earthquakes have occurred following water level increase from monsoon rains (Bansal et al., 2018;Gupta, 2018). Some models of earthquake nucleation hold that large and small earthquakes begin similarly (Beroza & Ellsworth, 1996;Ellsworth & Beroza, 1995). If small and large earthquakes share a common nucleation process, high-resolution earthquake catalogs should be useful to better illuminate it.

“…The EA system uses a relational database and has graphical features to quickly access and process the parameters, such as fault plane solutions. AFAD also uses SEISAN (Havskov and Ottemöller, 1999;Ottemöller et al, 2013) for manual processing of larger events (M> 3.5) to calculate fault plane and moment tensor solutions (Kılıç et al, 2016a).…”

Local magnitude scale for earthquakes in Turkey

Abstract: Based on the earthquake event data accumulated by the Turkish National Seismic Network between 2007 and 2013, the local magnitude (Richter, Ml) scale is calibrated for Turkey and the close neighborhood.
