In July, we did a geomorphological reconnaissance study along the East Anatolian Fault near Hazar Lake and along the North Anatolian Fault looking for potential trench sites. We also sampled different lakes, along the East Anatolian Fault the Hazar Lake, along the North Anatolian Fault: the main Ladik and Yenicaga lakes and the small Asagitepecik Lake near Golova, the Golukoy and Zinav lakes north of the Kelkit valley, and the Borabay Lake north-ouest of Tasova. We open a first paleoseismic trench east of Ladik Lake.
