Deprem Vaka Çalışmaları
Tarihsel açıdan önemli depremlerin derinlemesine analizleri — jeolojik nedenlerden insan etkisine ve öğrenilen derslere kadar.
2023 Türkiye-Suriye Depremleri: 59.000 Kişiyi Öldüren Çift Anamış
The deadliest earthquake disaster of the 2020s, notable for its unprecedented double mainshock sequence and the subsequent criminal prosecution of contractors for building code violations.
2018 Sulawesi Depremi: Palu'da Yatay Kaydırma Tsunamisi ve Felaket Akışkanlıklandırma
The earthquake that defied three textbook rules: strike-slip faults generated a destructive tsunami, the rupture propagated at supershear speed, and liquefaction flows traveled 700 meters on nearly flat ground.
2017 Mexico City Depremi: 1985 Felaketi Yıldönümünde M7.1
Striking on the exact 32nd anniversary of the 1985 disaster during a national earthquake drill, the 2017 earthquake served as a live audit of Mexico City's three decades of seismic improvements.
2016 Kumamoto Depremleri: Sismik Tehlike Kurallarını Yeniden Yazılan Çift Anamış
The earthquake doublet that overturned the assumption that the first large shock is always the mainshock, forcing Japan to revise its public messaging and early warning protocols.
2015 Nepal Gorkha Depremi: Himalayalar Kaydığında Katmandu Titredii
The earthquake that demonstrated the Himalayas' ongoing collision in real time, with GPS measurements showing Nepal shifted 3 meters south, while only partially releasing centuries of accumulated tectonic strain.
2011 Christchurch Depremi: M6.2 Sonrık Deprem Şehir Merkezini Nasıl Yıktı
One of the few cases where an aftershock was more devastating than its mainshock, with a M6.2 at just 5 km depth producing 2.2g ground acceleration that obliterated Christchurch's city center.
2011 Tohoku Depremi: M9.1 Megathrust'ın Japonya'nın Üçlü Felaketi Nasıl Tetiklediği
The only earthquake in recorded history to trigger a simultaneous earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster, fundamentally changing how nations assess cascading risk.
2010 Maule Depremi: Şili'nin M8.8 Megathrust ve Hazırlığın Gücü
The clearest modern comparison showing that building codes save lives -- a M8.8 earthquake in Chile killed 525 people while a M7.0 in Haiti (35 days earlier) killed 316,000.
2010 Haiti Depremi: Magnitude 7.0 316.000 Kişiyi Nasıl Öldürdü
The deadliest earthquake relative to magnitude in modern history, demonstrating that building quality and governance -- not earthquake size -- determine whether people live or die.
2008 Sichuan Depremi: Longmenshan Fayı Boyunca 87.000 Ölü
The earthquake that forced China to confront endemic building code violations after thousands of 'tofu-dreg' school buildings collapsed while adjacent government structures survived, killing over 5,000 children.
2005 Kashmir Depremi: Himalaya Sınırında 87.000 Ölü
The deadliest Himalayan earthquake in modern history, which killed 17,000 students in collapsed schools and demonstrated the extreme difficulty of disaster response in remote mountainous terrain.
2004 Hint Okyanusu Tsunamisi: 21. Yüzyılın En Ölümcül Deprem Felaketi
The deadliest tsunami in modern history, killing 227,898 people across 14 countries, whose aftermath created the Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning System and transformed global disaster preparedness.
1999 Chi-Chi Taiwan Depremi: Tarihte En İyi Kaydedilen Fay Yakın Depremi
The best-instrumentally-recorded large earthquake in history, with 441 strong-motion stations capturing near-fault data that fundamentally changed how engineers design buildings close to active faults.
1999 İzmit Depremi: Türkiye'nin Endüstriyel Merkezinde Kuzey Anadolu Fayı Kırılması
The latest in a remarkable 60-year westward migration of M7+ earthquakes along the North Anatolian Fault, with stress calculations now pointing directly at Istanbul for the next major rupture.
1995 Kobe Depremi: Japonya'nın İnşaat Kodlarını Dönüştüren Felaket
The earthquake that exposed fatal weaknesses in Japan's pre-1981 building stock, leading to the most sweeping seismic engineering reforms in history and proving that building codes save lives.
1994 Northridge Depremi: Amerika'nın En Pahalı Sismik Olay
America's most expensive earthquake, which revealed that thousands of modern welded steel moment-frame buildings had suffered hidden brittle fractures in their connections.
1989 Loma Prieta Depremi: Kaliforniya'yı Uyandıran Dünya Serisi Depremi
America's first live-televised earthquake, broadcast to 62 million World Series viewers, whose Cypress Freeway collapse catalyzed California's seismic retrofit program for elevated highways.
1985 Mexico City Depremi: Mesafeyi Meydan Okuyan Rezonans Felaketi
The definitive case study in site amplification and structural resonance, where lake-bed sediments selectively amplified 2-second seismic waves that destroyed mid-rise buildings 350 km from the epicenter.
1976 Tangshan Depremi: 20. Yüzyılın En Ölümcül Depremi
The deadliest earthquake of the 20th century, which destroyed 93% of an industrial city in seconds and exposed the limitations of earthquake prediction despite China's success at Haicheng one year earlier.
1970 Ancash Depremi: Güney Amerika Tarihinin En Ölümcülü Depremi
The deadliest earthquake in South American history, where a 50-million-cubic-meter avalanche from Mount Huascaran traveled at 300 km/h to bury the town of Yungay, killing 92% of its population.
1964 Büyük Alaska Depremi: Şimdiye Kadar Kaydedilen İkinci Büyük Deprem (M9.2)
The second-largest earthquake ever recorded and the event whose geological investigation by George Plafker provided critical field evidence for the then-controversial theory of plate tectonics.
1960 Valdivia Depremi: Şimdiye Kadar Kaydedilen En Güçlü Deprem (M9.5)
The most powerful earthquake ever instrumentally recorded, releasing energy equivalent to 25% of all global seismic energy over a century and generating a tsunami that crossed the entire Pacific Ocean.
1950 Assam-Tibet Depremi: Şimdiye Kadar Kaydedilen Büyük Kıtasal Deprem (M8.6)
The largest earthquake ever recorded in a purely continental setting, demonstrating that the Himalayan collision zone can produce M8.6+ earthquakes far from any ocean.
1948 Aşkabat Depremi: Onlarca Yıl Gizli Tutulan Sovyet Felaketi
The most concealed earthquake disaster in history, where the Soviet government classified the true death toll of 110,000 as a state secret for 40 years.
1923 Büyük Kanto Depremi: Ateşin Tokyo'yu Yıktığında
The earthquake that proved fire -- not shaking -- is the primary killer in dense urban areas, with 38,000 people perishing in a single fire tornado.
1906 Ekvador-Kolombiya Depremi: Kuzey Andları Tehlikesini Tanımlayan M8.8 Megathrust
The earthquake that established the segmented rupture model for subduction zones, as its 500 km rupture was partially re-ruptured in three subsequent earthquakes -- a textbook case of megathrust supercycles.
1906 San Francisco Depremi: Modern Sismolojiye Başlayan Felaket
The earthquake that founded modern seismology -- H.F. Reid's analysis of the 1906 rupture produced the elastic rebound theory, the fundamental explanation of why earthquakes occur.
1868 Arica Depremi: Pasifik'in Tümüne Tsunami Gönderen M9.0 Megathrust
One of the most powerful earthquakes before the instrumental era, whose Pacific-wide tsunami carried warships half a kilometer inland and provided crucial calibration data for modern megathrust hazard models.
1755 Lizbon Depremi: Aydınlanmayı Sarsan Felaket
The earthquake that launched both seismology as a science and modern emergency management, while simultaneously triggering a philosophical revolution.
1556 Shaanxi Depremi: İnsan Tarihinin En Ölümcülü Depremi (830.000 Ölü)
The deadliest earthquake in human history, killing 830,000 people -- primarily because the population lived in cave dwellings carved into loess cliffs that collapsed en masse during the shaking.
