There are numerous earthquakes and tsunamis that occurred in Eastern Mediterranean and are documented in historical records. Hellenic Are is one of the important tsunami source regions in Eastern Mediterranean. In order to assess and visualize the tsunami propagation in the Eastern Mediterranean from the sources along Hellenic Arc, a new tsunami simulation/visualization software NAMI DANCE is used. In this study, five different tsunami cases related to selected rupture characteristics are used in modeling application. The results and comparisons axe presented with discussions.

Unlocking the secrets of Al-tobermorite in Roman seawater concrete Jackson, M D; Chae, S R; Mulcahy, S R; Akgül, Çağla; Taylor, R; Li, P; Emwas, A-H; Moon, J; Yoon, S; Vola, G; Wenk, H-R; Monteiro, P JM (Mineralogical Society of America, 2013-10-01) Ancient Roman syntheses of Al-tobermorite in a 2000-year-old concrete block submerged in the Bay of Pozzuoli (Baianus Sinus), near Naples, have unique aluminum-rich and silica-poor compositions relative to hydrothermal geological occurrences. In relict lime clasts, the crystals have calcium contents that are similar to ideal tobermorite, 33 to 35 wt%, but the low-silica contents, 39 to 40 wt%, reflect Al3+ substitution for Si4+ in Q(2)(1Al), Q(3)(1Al), and Q(3)(2Al) tetrahedral chain and branching sites.

An overview of local site effects and the associated building damage in Adapazari during the 17 August 1999 Izmit earthquake Bakır, Bahadır Sadık; Sucuoğlu, Haluk (Seismological Society of America (SSA), 2002-02-01) Two major earthquakes occurred in Turkey along the North Anatolian fault in 1999. The first one, which occurred on 17 August 1999, had a moment magnitude of 7.4 and ruptured the 140-km segment of the fault in the Marmara region. Adapazari, a city with a population of 190,000, which is mostly located on a deep alluvial basin in the near field of the ruptured fault, was among the worst-affected urban areas in the earthquake-affected region. The distribution of damage over the city was highly nonuniform, indic...
The 2002 Denali fault and 2001 Kunlun fault earthquakes: Complex rupture processes of two large strike-slip events Özacar, Atilla Arda (Seismological Society of America (SSA), 2004-12-01) We studied the source processes of two large continental earthquakes, the 3 November 2002 Denali fault earthquake and the 14 November 2001 Kunlun fault earthquake, associated with strike-slip faulting along ancient sutures. We inverted teleseismic P waveforms using a pulse-stripping method for multiple time windows with different focal mechanisms and derived composite source models. According to our results, the 2002 Denali fault earthquake began with initial thrusting (M-W 7.3) along a 40-km-long segment o...
Performance Comparison of NAMI DANCE and FLOW-3D((R)) Models in Tsunami Propagation, Inundation and Currents using NTHMP Benchmark Problems Sogut, Deniz Velioglu; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-07-01) Field observations provide valuable data regarding nearshore tsunami impact, yet only in inundation areas where tsunami waves have already flooded. Therefore, tsunami modeling is essential to understand tsunami behavior and prepare for tsunami inundation. It is necessary that all numerical models used in tsunami emergency planning be subject to benchmark tests for validation and verification. This study focuses on two numerical codes, NAMI DANCE and FLOW-3D((R)), for validation and performance comparison. N...
A critical examination of near-field accelerograms from the sea of Marmara region earthquakes Akkar, S; Gulkan, P (Seismological Society of America (SSA), 2002-02-01) In 1999, Turkey was struck by two major earthquakes that occurred 86 days apart on the North Anatolian Fault system. Both earthquakes had right-lateral strike-slip mechanisms with moment magnitudes greater than 7. The number of strong-motion records obtained from the Kocaeli earthquake (17 August 1999, M-w 7.4) was 34. The second event, designated as the Bolu-Duzce earthquake (12 November 1999, M-w 7.2), triggered 20 instruments. Among the records that we have from these earthquakes, seven are from near-sou...
