InSAR time-series analysis of surface motions caused by the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquake in Hatay, Türkiye

SCSuat CoskunCBCaglar BayikSASaygin Abdikan

Key Points

  • The analysis shows structural movements and landslides following the earthquake, indicating significant geological changes.
  • Landslides triggered by the earthquake were monitored, revealing multiple effects on the landscape.
  • Assessment using InSAR methods provided insights into the time series of surface movements in both ascending and descending data.
  • These findings highlight the importance of monitoring post-earthquake effects to improve future response strategies.

Abstract

Abstract. Earthquakes are among the most devastating natural events. Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) methods are used to obtain fault parameters from co-seismic earthquakes, particularly those covering large areas. This study presents initial analyses to see the effects of the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquake that occurred along the East Anatolian Fault Zone of Türkiye. The study area covers the Hatay region. The analysis of different structures and earthquake-triggered landslides was conducted to investigate their impact. The small baseline method was applied to Sentinel-1 data taken in both the ascending and descending directions. The images cover the years 2019 and 2024, including the earthquake. The results vary between -20 cm/year and 25 cm/year. The earthquake co-seismic effect is visible in the time series obtained in both directions, and structural movement was observed leading up to and following the earthquake. This allows structures caused by an earthquake to be monitored afterward. Furthermore, events such as landslides and landslides that may be triggered by an earthquake can be monitored.
