Abstract

The area around the Marmara Sea, one of the most densely populated parts of
Europe, is subject to a high level of seismic hazard. The MARsite project proposes to
identify the Marmara region as a ‘Supersite’ within European initiatives to aggregate
on-shore, off-shore and space-based observations, comprehensive geophysical
monitoring, improved hazard and risk assessments encompassed in an integrated
set of activities to respond to all priorities identified in the ENV.2012.6.4-2 call. The
overall project objectives of MARsite are to:

- Achieve long-term hazard monitoring and evaluation
- Improve existing earthquake early-warning and rapid-response systems
- Improve ground shaking and displacement modelling
- Pursue scientific and technical innovation
- Interact with end users
