With the increasing rate of subduction along the Hellenic Arc in the Eastern
Mediterranean, the seismic activities of the Aegean plate and Western Anatolia have
markedly increased over the past decade. The increase in seismic activity is quite remarkable,
starting from the coasts of Canakkale in the north of Western Anatolia, including
Lesbos Island, Samos Island, Kusadas Bay and Datca. In this context, in order to determine
the current deformation after the Samos Island earthquake that occurred on October
30, 2020, measurements were performed at six continuous GNSS stations in and around
Izmir. This study is jointly managed by Dokuz Eylul University, with contributions from
Konya Technical University and Ataturk University, focusing on both GNSS and seismological
analyses. The preliminary results of this investigation include the evaluation of
seismic impacts on the continuous GNSS stations from July 1st to December 31st, 2022.
