Precise knowledge of the 3D-velocity structure is an important pre-requisite when aiming at tectonically characterizing target regions using high-precision earthquake hypocenter locations. In that respect, precise phase arrival times selected from extensive waveform data archives are the most important input parameter. The aim of this project is to develop algorithms for automated identification and accurate timing of crustal phases and their inversion to derive a three-dimensional velocity model of the broader Marmara region in NW Turkey. Based on recent developments of automated P- and S-phase picking algorithms it is planned to extend and apply these algorithms to additional crustal and uppermost mantle phases such as Pg, Pn, PmP, and its S-wave pendants. Based on recent results, we will make use of statistical modeling, multivariate time series analysis, and heuristic methodologies. The new approach should also provide reliable, non-discrete and non-symmetrical error estimates of the derived phase-onset times. Arrival times of distinct identified phase onsets will serve as input for non-linear location methods like NonLinLoc and VELEST to establish a minimum 1D-velocity model, which will then serve as a starting model for the 3D-inversion using SIMULPS14. The newly developed algorithms will be applied to local and regional earthquake recordings from the Marmara region in NW Turkey obtained by numerous permanent seismic stations from different local and regional networks. The substantially improved velocity model will allow for reliable absolute hypocenter determination which is of relevance especially in the light of the expected major (M7+) earthquake in the vicinity of the population center of Istanbul, where a combined surface and borehole-based seismometer network is to be installed in the frame of the ICDP-GONAF project. We expect to provide the first regional 3D-velocity model for this key-region.

在使用高精度地震震源位置对目标区域进行构造表征时，准确了解 3D 速度结构是一个重要的先决条件。在这方面，从大量波形数据档案中选择的精确相位到达时间是最重要的输入参数。该项目的目的是开发用于自动识别和准确计时地壳相及其反演的算法，以得出土耳其西北部更广泛的马尔马拉地区的三维速度模型。基于自动 P 相和 S 相拾取算法的最新发展，计划将这些算法扩展到其他地壳和上地幔相，例如 Pg、Pn、PmP 及其 S 波吊坠。根据最近的结果，我们将利用统计建模、多元时间序列分析和启发式方法。新方法还应该提供对导出的相位开始时间的可靠、非离散和非对称误差估计。不同识别相位起始点的到达时间将作为非线性定位方法（如 NonLinLoc 和 VELEST）的输入，以建立最小 1D 速度模型，然后将该模型用作使用 SIMULPS14 进行 3D 反演的起始模型。新开发的算法将应用于土耳其西北部马尔马拉地区的当地和区域地震记录，这些记录是由来自不同地方和区域网络的众多永久地震台获得的。显着改进的速度模型将允许可靠的绝对震源确定，特别是考虑到伊斯坦布尔人口中心附近预计发生的大（M7+）地震，其中基于地表和钻孔的地震仪网络相结合安装在 ICDP-GONAF 项目的框架中。我们期望为这个关键区域提供第一个区域 3D 速度模型。
