The epicenter was located very close to the south shore of the Bay of Izmit, an eastward extension of the Marmara Sea. The location of this earthquake and its proximity to a populous region on the Bay of Izmit contributed greatly to its damaging effects. The total estimated loss for port facilities in the region was around $200 million (US). Subsidence and slumping caused much of the coastal damage, but a tsunami was generated that also caused coastal damage and deaths.Make available damage photos for research and education19990817UnknownCompletenotPlanned29.329.540.4840.3NASA/GCMD Earth Science KeywordsEARTH SCIENCE>SOLID EARTH>Seismology>Earthquake OccurrencesEARTH SCIENCE>SOLID EARTH>Tectonics>FaultsEARTH SCIENCE>Oceans>Ocean Waves>TsunamisINFOTERRA Keyword ThesaurusLithosphere>Seismic Activity>Seismic ActivityDisasters>Catastrophic Phenomena>EarthquakesDisasters>Catastrophic Phenomena>Seismic Sea WavesDisasters>Catastrophic Phenomena>TsunamisNASA/GCMD Data Center KeywordsWDC/MGG, BOULDER > World Data Center for Marine Geology and Geophysics, BoulderDOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC > National Geophysical Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of CommerceGetty Thesaurus of Geographic NamesAsia > Turkey > Marmara > Kocaeli > IzmitRestriction Code: otherRestrictions; DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC > National Geophysical Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of CommerceUser Servicesphysical and mailing NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC E/GC 325 Broadway BoulderCO80305-3328(303) 497-6826ngdc.info@noaa.govUnknown 20110406Heather McCulloughDOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC > National Geophysical Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commercemailing and physical NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC E/GC3 325 Broadway BoulderCO80305-3328(303) 497-3707Heather.McCullough@noaa.govContent Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata: Extensions for Remote Sensing MetadataFGDC-STD-012-2002
