The Investigation of Salanda Fault Zone, between Yesiloz and Gumuskent (Nevsehir-Turkey) with PSInSAR
In this study, the section of the Salanda fault zone between Yesiloz village and Gumuskent (Nevsehir, Turkey) was investigated by geodetic methods, and the amount of movement in this area was determined. We used a Persistent Scatterer Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PSInSAR) to determine...

| Sumario: | In this study, the section of the Salanda fault zone between Yesiloz village and Gumuskent (Nevsehir, Turkey) was investigated by geodetic methods, and the amount of movement in this area was determined. We used a Persistent Scatterer Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PSInSAR) to determine the line of sight (LOS) movement. Previous studies using geological and geomorphological indices have shown that the Salanda fault zone is active. For the first time in this study, 36 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images acquired between January 8, 2020, and November 29, 2022, were used in PSInSAR analysis. When the annual velocity values of the stud area in the LOS direction were analysed, annual subsidence values of up to 7.6 mm and annual uplift values of up to 7.2 mm were revealed. These movements indicate that the Salanda fault is active and normal fault characteristics. However, it also has a dextral strike-slip component. |
