معرفی
Derya Keleş is a Researcher at the Department of Geophysical Engineering, part of the Faculty of Mining and Geological Engineering at Istanbul Technical University (ITU). She holds a PhD in Geophysical Engineering from ITU (2020), following a Master's (2017-2020) and Bachelor's (2012-2017) in the same field. Her research focuses on seismology, tectonics, and earthquake mechanics, with a particular emphasis on fault zone dynamics and structural analysis.
Her work investigates topics such as seismic anisotropy, lithospheric kinematics, and earthquake rupture processes, often leveraging advanced techniques like receiver functions and InSAR. Recent studies include analysis of the North Anatolian Fault Zone, the 2020 Samos earthquake, and the 2020 Doğanyol-Sivrice earthquake. These contributions highlight her expertise in linking geophysical data with tectonic processes.
- Key Projects:
- Analysis of crustal anisotropy under the DANA Seismic Network (completed in 2022).
- Development of a 24/7 geomagnetic recording station using ultra-sensitive magnetometers (completed in 2022).
- Collaborations: Active in international collaborations, including studies on Anatolian and Aegean tectonics with institutions in Turkey, Greece, and the US.
Her research contributes to understanding seismic hazards and tectonic evolution in regions like Turkey and the Eastern Mediterranean.
