The algorithm is based on solving the traveling salesman problem with mixed deliveries and collections of goods (TSPDC). A description of the algorithm extension to a problem that takes into account static closed zones that simulate ice and meteorological conditions unsuitable for the ship movement is given. The Dubins path algorithm provides a path close to the minimum and takes into account real characteristics of the ship movement and its speed when performing various types of work (installing bottom stations, collecting stations, maneuvering, etc.). The scientific novelty of the study lies in applying the solution of the TSPDC to problems of marine geophysics with the condition of presence of closed zones and developing an algorithm for optimizing the work of seismic vessels with the use of bottom stations, which is relevant in the conditions of the Arctic shelf during the period of limited navigation. The algorithm described in the article makes it possible to take into account the return of the vessel for collecting the equipment when working with bottom stations in the transition zone. The developed algorithm for planning marine seismic surveys formed the basis of the application software. The formalization of the problem, the results of the algorithm operation, and examples of planning on test data are presented. The possible limitations for the proposed algorithm are raised. The obtained results are applicable for further use in the implementation of tasks on optimizing the work plan for marine seismic surveys with several vessels, both when planning seismic surveys and when adjusting plans directly on the ship.

The data obtained from tectonophysical monitoring not only on the orientation of principal stresses, but also on their normalized values made it possible to calculate Coulomb stresses on faults. The results of fault zoning by intensity and sign of these stresses helped identify both hazardous sections close to the limit state and safe sections with negative Coulomb stress values. It has been established that in the region of the source of the first strong Pazarcık earthquake, which had a complex structure (three segments), there were extended sections with a critically high Coulomb stress level, separated by zones with low and even negative values of these stresses. The epicenter of this earthquake was located on the echelon fault within a section (first segment) with a high Coulomb stress level. The source of the second strong Elbistan earthquake was located on a fault with negative Coulomb stresses. The conducted analysis shows that this second Turkey earthquake may have been caused by stress changes that occurred in the crust of the region after the first strong earthquake.

DInSAR and offset methods were applied. The most detailed data on the displacements were obtained by the offset method using images from the descending orbit. When constructing the model from the available SAR data, the data with the maximum signal-to-noise ratio were selected. For the northern part of the region, above 37.4° N, the range displacements obtained by the offset method from a descending orbit were used. South of parallel 37.0° N, we used azimuth displacements from the same descending orbit. The model of the seismic rupture was constructed on the basis of solution of (Pollitz, 1996) of the problem of deformations at the surface of a layered spherical Earth caused by along dip and strike displacements on a rectangular fault located inside the planet. Pollitz (1996) demonstrated that ignoring the radial layering of the planet leads to errors up to 20%, with the largest errors occurring in the presence of a large strike-slip component. Ignoring sphericity also introduces an error when using the solution in the framework of the idealization of an elastic homogeneous half-space with a flat free surface (Okada, 1985) which was used when constructing USGS and (Barbot et al., 2023) models. In our model the surfaces of seismic rupture are approximated by 19 rectangular elements along the strike, divided into three levels along the dip. Another element approximated a rupture along the extension of the East Hatay Fault Zone. As in the models of other authors (USGS; Barbot et al., 2023), in our model in the southern part of the EAFZ, the displacements increase from south to north, and are mainly concentrated in the upper part of the Earth’s crust to a depth of 10 km. At the southern end of this rupture, displacements in our model with an amplitude of up to 2 m are obtained at the lower levels of the model, and at its upper level, the displacements were only 0.11 m, and in this area on February 20, 2023 an earthquake of magnitude 6.3 occurred with a hypocenter depth of 11.5 km. The main displacements on the EAFZ are determined on its central segment. Here, the displacements go to a greater depth, their value reaches 10.2 m. On the Sürgü-Çardak fault, significant displacements occurred down to a depth of 20 km; displacements exceeded 10.2 m.
