EDAT Fieldwork

USGS EDAT and LDAT scientists work with faculty and students from Istanbul Technical University and University Twente to support readiness by assessing and monitoring the ongoing hazards related to landslides triggered by the 2023 Turkey earthquake sequence. Landslides can be reactivated and cause loss of life for months or years after major earthquakes. Field assessments of these earthquake-triggered, arid environment landslides are also used to improve the USGS global ground failure models.
