SUMMARY To investigate the onshore/offshore structural framework of the northern shelf of the Sea of Marmara, a multidisciplinary study was carried out including multichannel and singlechannel seismicreflection profiling, multibeam bathymetry sounding, side-scan sonar imaging on offshore as well as land studies for S-wave velocity estimation by passive and active array measurements and monitoring of block deformations by Global Positioning System (GPS). Based on the multidisciplinary data, possible interactions between landslides and active faulting have been reviewed and their possible relation to the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) has been discussed. It is observed that structurally the most deformed subsurface zone offshore coincides with the most undulated landform due to landslides in the area. This observation leads to idea that the structural complexities of the area may also contribute to land sliding as much as other contributing mechanisms such as slope instability, shallow groundwater level, lithology and |
