Istanbul — The earthquake risk of a megacity
Posted On: September 7, 2012 – 4:30pm
Today the drilling starts for a seismic monitoring network on the Marmara Sea near Istanbul. Specially designed seismic sensors in eight boreholes on the outskirts of Istanbul and around the eastern Marmara Sea will monitor the seismic activity of the region with high precision. In each of the respective 300 meter deep holes several borehole seismometers will be permanently installed at various depths. These detect even barely perceptible earthquakes with very small magnitudes at a high resolution and can thus provide information about the earthquake rupture processes associated with these.

Anyone who has walked around the upper platform of Istanbul?s Galata Tower will notice history in the city?s skyline. Instead of the boxy skyscrapers and glass buildings we?re used to in America?s big cities, Istanbul?s pointed mosque minarets and jagged palace walls give the city a creatively pure look. Every day, the Bosphorus shines a bright blue, shaping a stunning scene against the red tile roofs and typically clear sky of this bi-continental city.
