About us
Join us as Dr Sarah Boulton discusses the East Anatolian Fault Zone and the 6 February 2023 earthquakes.
The East Anatolian Fault is a 700 km long major strike-slip fault zone running from eastern to south-central Turkey. It forms the transform type tectonic boundary between the Anatolian Plate and the northward-moving Arabian Plate.
On 6 February 2023, at 04:17 TRT, a Mw 7.8 earthquake struck southern and central Turkey and northern and western Syria. The epicenter was 37 km west–northwest of Gaziantep. The earthquake had a maximum Mercalli intensity of XII around the epicenter and in Antakya. It was followed by a Mw 7.7 earthquake at 13:24.
Sarah Boulton is Deputy Head of School and Associate Head of School - Marketing and Recruitment, School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences (Faculty of Science and Engineering).
