35. Present-day knowledge and questions about seismic versus aseismic activity of the Anatolian Faults in Turkey integrating historical earthquakes, paleoseimic studies and creep evidenced by Insar studies.

Mrs Aurelia Hubert-Ferrari (Université de Liège)

Keynote

The North and East Anatolian Faults in Turkey are two large conjugate strike-slip faults characterized by earthquakes of magnitude equal or larger than 7 and creep, which makes it difficult to evaluate their long-term seismic activity and the related seismic hazard. The North Anatolian Fault (NAF) ruptured from east to west in a westward propagating sequence of M> 7 earthquakes since 1939...

12. Relative tectonic activity in the Colca catchment revealed by geomorphic indices, Central Andes

Dr Krzysztof Gaidzik (Department of Fundamental Geology, Faculty of Earth Sciences, University of Silesia)

Oral Preference

Geomorphic indices are widely used to quantitatively appraise relative tectonic activity. Extensive, uncomplicated and nearly unlimited access to digital elevation models and GIS software essentially sustained the worldwide usage of those indices. Even though they can provide valuable information on active tectonics from landforms, the obtained data should be always corroborated in the field....

36. Location and kinematics of the Southern Issyk-Kul Fault in eastern part of the Issyk-Kul Depression, the Tien Shan

Dr Andrey Korzhenkov (Schmidt Institute of Physics of the Earth RAS)

24/10/2018, 16:50

Oral Preference

The Issyk-Kul intermountain depression has a border with the Terskey Ala-Too Range in the south. Formation of these structures of the Tien Shan goes in conditions of the continental compression caused by a collision of Eurasian and India lithosphere plates. In the south a contact of the depression and mountains goes along Pre-Terskey Border Fault. Structure of this fault is a complicated...

15. Active faulting in the Upper Rhine Graben: geomorphological and geophysical evidence

Prof. Klaus Reicherter (Prof. Dr., RWTH Aachen University)

24/10/2018, 17:10

Oral Preference

The Upper Rhine Graben (URG) is the central part of the Central European Cenozoic Rift System (ECRIS) and one of the tectonically active regions in Europe. The URG extends from the Jura thrust and fold belt in the South near Basle city (Switzerland) to the Rhenish Massif in the North near Frankfurt and is limited by sinistral strike-slip faults on either sides. Several studies suggested...
