At 01:17 UTC (04:17 on local time) on Feb. 6, 2023, a devastating earthquake with a moment magnitude (Mw) 7.8 occurred in the Gaziantep, southern Turkey. The earthquake was located at 37.174°N and 37.032°E, with a hypocentral depth of 17.9 km as reported by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Nine hours later, a Mw 7.5 earthquake occurred in Kahramanmaras, about 95 km north to the epicenter of the Mw 7.8 earthquake (37.203°E, 38.024°N, depth 10.0 km). The Mw 7.8 earthquake was the most devastating earthquake in Turkey after the 1939 M 7.9 Erzincan Earthquake (killed more than 33 000 people). Until 01:16 UTC of Feb. 13 (one week following the Mw 7.8 earthquake), there have been 1 114 earthquakes, including one M > 7, two M 6–7, 26 M 5–6, and 212 M 4–5 events according to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC). Here the magnitude scale is either Mw or mb.
The Turkey earthquake sequence occurred at the junction of the East Anatolian fault zone (EAFZ) with the Dead Sea fault zone (DSFZ). The seismically active left-lateral EAFZ together with the right-lateral North Anatolian fault zone (NAFZ) accommodate the westward extrusion of the Anatolian microplate with respect to the Eurasian and Arabian plates (Fig. 1a; Jackson and McKenzie, 1984; McKenzie, 1976, 1972). The EAFZ is characterized by pronounced segmentation of faulting (Fig. 1b; Gülerce et al., 2017; Duman and Ermre, 2013). To the south, the EAFZ connects with the DSFZ and the Cyprian arc via Amik triple junction (Fig. 1b; Duman and Emre, 2013). The EAFZ and the DSFZ overlap for about 160 km in the Karasu trough bounded by the left-lateral Amanos and Yesemek fault segments, respectively (Fig. 1b). Present GPS observations reveal a slip rate of ~6.8 mm/yr along the Karasu trough (Reilinger et al., 2006). The Yesemek fault segment delimits the eastern margin of the Karasu trough, which may have generated the 1822 Ms 7.5 earthquake (Ambraseys and Jackson, 1998). Further north, the Narli fault segment is the northernmost tip of the DSFZ, consisting of sub-parallel normal faults separated by relay ramps (Duman and Emre, 2013). The 2023 Mw 7.8 earthquake occurred at the location between these two faults. Later, another earthquake of Mw 7.5 happened along the roughly east-west trending Cardak fault segment of the EAFZ (see Fig. 1b for the location). The Cardak fault cuts former thrust faults and folds, and has produced prominent left-lateral slip morphology, with a slip rate of ~2.5 mm/yr (Duman and Emre, 2013).
We use data recorded in Alaskan and Canadian seismic stations to back-project the source propagation of the Mw 7.8 and 7.5 earthquakes. The Alaskan and Canadian seismic stations consist of ~295 broadband seismic stations with sampling rate of 100 Hz (Busby and Aderhold, 2020), among which we chose seismic stations with epicenter distances to the Turkey Mw 7.8 earthquake ranging from 70° to 85° with azimuths of 344° to 349°.
The back-projection method can resolve the rupture fault(s) with less requirement of model parameter setting (Ishii et al., 2005; Krüger and Ohrnberger, 2005). Thus, it has been widely applied in studies of source characteristics of earthquakes (Okuwaki et al., 2019; Meng et al., 2016; Wang and Mori, 2016; Fan and Shearer, 2015; Satriano et al., 2012; Yao et al., 2011; Zhang and Ge, 2010; Vallée et al., 2008). In this study, we performed a back-projection method (beamforming over a sliding/moving window), to trace the rupture processes of the two Turkey earthquakes (Wang et al., 2017). The frequency band, length of the stacking window, and the interval between stacking windows, were 0.8–10.0 Hz, 10 s, and 1 s, respectively. The horizontal grid points were setting at depth of 20 km with an interval of 2 km in horizontal plane.
Figure 2 shows the time propagation of the back-projection results. We used the high frequency waveforms in the back- projection, Hence the results mainly represent rupture front propagations.
For the Mw 7.8 earthquake, the rupture propagated bilaterally along the NE and SW directions. The rupture firstly propagated ~140 km along the NE direction for the first 50 s. Then the rupture started to propagate in the SSW direction from the epicenter over a representative length of ~130 km for about 30 s. The SSW rupture seems to be more complex; not along a single, straight fault plane, probably in association with multiple, discrete fault segments. The total rupture length and the source duration of the rupture are ~270 km and ~80 s, respectively. Early aftershocks usually delineate rupture fault(s) of mainshocks (EMSC). Locations of the aftershocks that occurred in the first day following the Mw 7.8 earthquake showed highly compatible fault patterns with the back-projection results.
The Mw 7.5 earthquake also ruptured bilaterally along the W and E directions on the Cardak fault. The rupture expanded ~60 km in ~20 s in the west direction, and expanded ~50 km for ~30 s in the east direction according to the distribution of the early aftershocks and the back-projection. The total rupture length and the source duration are 110 km and ~30 s, respectively. From the back-projection results, one can observe that the east portion of the ruptured fault was adequately illumina-ted, while the west portion of the rupture fault was ambiguously recognized.
Based on the back-projection results and a Ground Motion Prediction Equation (GMPE, Si and Midorigawa, 1999), we estimated the Peak Ground Velocity (PGV) fileds of the Mw 7.8 and 7.5 the earthquakes (Kang et al., 2023; Chen et al., 2022a, b). Here the attenuation of the seismic intensity was empirically approximated by the GMPE (Si and Midorigawa, 1999), which employed the closest distance from the back-projected seismic sources. The estimated PGV were then corrected for the site effect using the Vs30 data (USGS).
We set a grid of point (1 km × 1 km) around the source area of 1 000 km × 1 000 km. For each grid, we first calculated the closest distance between the grid point and back-projected source locations. Then we estimated the PGV on stiff ground in each site following Si and Midorigawa (1999). After that, we calculated the site amplification factor for the PGV using the Vs30 dataset following Midorikawa (1994). We further converted the PGV on stiff ground to the PGV on the ground surface (PGVVs30). The PGV on each grid point was converted to the seismic intensity scale of Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI, Worden et al., 2012). Hence, the seismic intensity maps of the two earthquakes were created.
The seismic intensity map for the Mw 7.8 earthquake shows higher intensity in and around the NE-striking rupture fault(s) derived from the back-projection (Fig. 3), with the maximum intensity of Ⅸ. The intensity Ⅸ area is 3 260 km2, most of which are distributed in and to the southwest of the epicenter. The contour lines of the seismic intensity map for the Mw 7.5 earthquake show elliptical shapes with the major axis trending W-E direction, in which the maximum intensity is Ⅸ. Due to the relatively small magnitude, the size of the area with intensity Ⅸ (379 km2) is significantly smaller than those for the Mw 7.8 earthquake.
We collected the population distribution in the grid area according to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL, https://landscan.ornl.gov). Superimposing the population distribution on the seismic intensity map (Fig. 4), we got the number of exposed people in respective MMI values. We downloaded the PGAs and PGVs of the local strong motion obervations from the USGS, to compare our calculated ground motions. The average residuals (log10 (obs./calc.)) between our calculated and observed ground motions (PGA and PGV) in 300 km to epicenter were 0.043 and 0.319, respectively. The relatively small average residuals of the calculated ground motions validated our estimate of the ground motions (Fig. 5). The numbers of the exposed people in areas with intensity Ⅸ for the Mw 7.8 and 7.5 earthquakes are 650 000, and 70 000, respectively. Those values are 2 570 000, and 140 000, in areas with intensity Ⅷ, respectively. We then estimated the casualties of the two earthquakes using an empirical approach of Jaiswal et al. (2009), the death toll from the two earthquakes is expected to exceed 21 000.
The 2023 Mw 7.8 (and 7.5) Turkey earthquake sequence is another large continental earthquake that caused catastrophic damages after the 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan, China and the 2010 Mw 7.0 Haiti earthquake. Here we utilized the back-projection method and seismic data recorded in Alaskan and Canadian seismic stations, to resolve the ruptured faults of the two Turkey earthquakes.
The results showed that the Mw 7.8 earthquake ruptured bilaterally along the NE and SW directions, for about 140 and 130 km, respectively. The total rupture length and source duration were ~270 km and 80 s, respectively. Based on the resolved fault patterns, we estimated the ground motions of the earthquakes and evaluated the casualties.
Without fault patterns, it is difficult to map the damaging zone accurately (Fig. 6a). That information could be incorporated in the ground motion estimations using source process determined by back-projection, stabilized finite slip inversion, locations of a few days' aftershocks, and/or field damage reports (Fig. 6b). The latest version of the ShakeMap that incorporated aftershock locations, field damage reports (DYFI), and other seismological observations show generally similar pattern of the seismic intensity map estimated from back-projection in this study (Fig. 6).
Among the approaches of estimating fault patterns, the back-projection offers promising results in quasi-real-time. Such efforts are valuable for immediate emergency response and rescue operation. For example, we determined the ground motion estimates of the Mw 7.8 and 7.5 Turkey earthquakes in 2 h and 1 h following the earthquake origin times. The very fast ground motion map, together with the fault patterns, helped better estimate of the earthquake damages and rescue operations right after large earthquakes.
There are many factors influencing the assessment of earthquake casualties, which is technically very challenging. Earthquake intensity, seismic performance of buildings, population density, post-earthquake disasters, and site effects all affect the results of casualty assessment. Here we rapidly assessed the casualty of the 2023 Mw 7.8 earthquake sequence as 21 000, which is in the same order of the number of casualty (~44 000, according to the Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) up to Feb. 25, 2023) and is fairly good for emergency response right after the mainshock.
Another interesting phenomenon is the fault interaction among earthquake faults shown in the Turkey earthquake sequence. The Mw 7.5 earthquake that was located ~95 km north to the epicenter, occurred ~9 h after the Mw 7.8 earthquake. Likely the seismogenic fault for the Mw 7.5 earthquake was triggered by the Mw 7.8 earthquake. How the NE-striking faults affects the EW-striking Cardak fault and nearby faults warrants further investigation.
