The Black Sea occurs within the Anatolian sector of the Alpine-Himalayan orogenic system. In this region northward moving African and Arabian plates collide with Eurasian plate. From this collision the Anatolian block moves westward with a rotation pole located approximately north of Sinai peninsula. Tectonic styles and rates in the circum Black Sea and along the Crimea have been poorly known. A GPS project was initiated in 1995 with the collaboration between Istanbul Technical University, MIT a
