An interdisciplinary project of ETH Zurich, in collaboration with Turkish universities, is described. The research area of NW Turkey was chosen because it exhibits active crustal movements, pronounced seismicity, elevated heat flow, and characteristic deep groundwater circulation patterns. In order to elucidate the interrelations between these features the collaboration of different specialists is required. Among the disciplines employed are geology, tectonics, seismology, geodesy, hydrogeology, and geothermics.
