The 2023 Southeast Türkiye Seismic Sequence: Rupture of a Complex Fault Network

The 2023 Southeast Türkiye Seismic Sequence: Rupture of a Complex Fault Network

On 6 February 2023, southeastern Türkiye experienced two M_w 7.7 and 7.6 earthquakes. The earthquake sequence caused widespread damage and tens of thousands of casualties in Türkiye and Syria. We analyze mainshocks and aftershocks, combining complementary source characterization techniques, relying...
