Course Objective

Turkey is surrounded by sea on three sides and potential earthquake sources in the seas are too many active fault. Faults produce large earthquakes in the past include extensions or beneath the sea itself. Ground research work was limited to just a lack of knowledge can be said that the earthquake.
In this regard, in our country, especially in Western Anatolia in the sub-sea earthquake research not be wrong to express how great it is. Topographies a healthy way to reveal the sub-sea, sea-floor images of earthquake research, production and identification of active faults and even a large shed light on the soles of the sea.
