Determination of strain field with geodetic methods in Denizli area

In this study, 23 GNSS measurement sites that used in previous studies were used to determine the tectonic movements in the Denizli region. GNSS measurements were observed between 2018-2019. An earthquake of Mw: 6.0 magnitude occurred near the Bozkurt district on 8.8.2019 in the region. The pre-seismic velocities and strain areas of the region were obtained using 2018 measurements. The largest value of the strain field in the region was calculated at a distance of 5 km from the earthquake epicenter. The directions of this strain field are in harmony with the Earthquake's focal solutions. The strain analysis was found to be compatible with other earthquakes in history. The displacement of the Bozkurt earthquake was calculated with the measurements made in 2019. 4-18 mm coseismic slips were obtained in the region. Inverse analysis could not be performed since the coseismic slip of sufficient points could not be calculated in the region.
