This study delves into the seismotectonic setting of the Armutlu-Yalova region through a comprehensive investigation, focusing on seismicity patterns and fault structures. The research aims to provide insights into the geological complexities of the area and the potential risks associated with seismic activity, suggesting improvements in monitoring techniques and data exchange collaborations with neighboring networks.

R E S U L T S • Tectonic structure is very complicated • Certain clusters, but mostly diffused seismicity • Clockwise rotation • Need better 1-D crustal model, seismic experiment, improvement location procedure by using crosscorrelataion metheod, HypoDD or similar algorithm • Data exchange necessary with surrounding networks • Add new station for better coverage • Online transmission is installing • SeisComp is installed and testing • Near future data exchange with ORFEUS/IRIS/FDSN or similar organizations, common research projects?
