Within the scope of the "Determination of the Geoscientific Characteristics of the Izmir Bornova Basin Most Affected by the October 30, 2020 Aegean Sea Earthquake" Project, initiated by Dokuz Eylül University and carried out by the TÜBİTAK 1001 Scientific and Technological Research Projects Support Program "Earthquake Research" call, a total of 7 km long multi-channel seismic reflection data was collected within the borders of Bayraklı and Bornova districts of Izmir between 18-28 April 2022.

The measurements were carried out during night hours and on city routes closed to traffic. This was the first time in Turkey that a vibroseismic source was used in a city. Researchers from TÜBİTAK MAM Earth Sciences Research Group and faculty members and students from Dokuz Eylül University participated in the study. This study is the first of its kind in our country. Seismic imaging of the Bornova Basin was performed with multi-channel seismic reflection data collected using a vibroseismic source in the inner city area.
