Post-earthquake Damage Assessment Using Satellite and Airborne Data in the Case of the 1999 Kocaeli Earthquake, Turkey
To date, prevention of natural disasters is only rarely achieved, and such events continue to pose an increasing threat to life and property. Especially following earthquakes, there is a need for rapid, accurate and reliable damage information in the critical postevent hours. Remote sensing technology can provide valuable information for response activities due to potentially high spatialtempor...

متن کاملThe natech events during the 17 August 1999 Kocaeli earthquake: aftermath and lessons learned
Natural-hazard triggered technological accidents (natechs) at industrial facilities have been recognized as an emerging risk. Adequate preparedness, proper emergency planning, and effective response are crucial for the prevention of natechs and mitigation of the consequences. Under the conditions of a natural disaster, the limited resources, the possible unavailability of mitigation measures, a...
متن کاملThe 1999 İzmit, Turkey, Earthquake: Nonplanar Fault Structure, Dynamic Rupture Process, and Strong Ground Motion
We simulated dynamic rupture propagation along various nonplanar fault models of the 1999 İzmit, Turkey, earthquake using a boundary integral equation method. These models were inferred from geological and geodetic observations. Based on these results, we modeled seismic-wave propagation around the fault system using a finite difference method. We focused on the effect of different fault geomet...
متن کاملSuicide ideation after the 1999 earthquake in Marmara, Turkey.
This study aims to investigate the psychological effects of the earthquake. We investigated the psychological conditions of 3,609 students survived from the Marmara Earthquake, which occurred on 17 August 1999.
