Preparation Phase of an Mw 5.8 Earthquake in the Sea of Marmara Offshore Istanbul

We just recently published our new study with Virginie Durand as first author, where we investigated the seismicity preceding the occurrence of a M 5.7 event in the Marmara Sea that was widely felt offshore Istanbul. The study has been published in Seismological Research Letters!
