Triggered slip: observations of the 17 August 1999 Izmit (Turkey) earthquake using radar interferometry

We use Synthetic Aperture Radar ingterferometry (InSAR) to map the displacement field of the 17 August 1999 Izmit earthquake, which largely conforms to that predicted for an elastic upper crust. We determine the earthquake source parameters and show that slip continues farther west than the mapped f...
