Both the westward extrusion of Anatolia block (extension) and the north-south shortening of mountain belts (contraction) are evidences to accommodate the convergence. The Lesser Caucasus is located at the key place near the transition of these two stress regimes. Moreover, young volcanism and high concentration of the micro-earthquakes make it a unique region to study the relation between active faults and volcanic structure. In the past two years, we had gradually built a seismic array in Georgia and Armenia that well cover the Lesser Caucasus and northern Armenia plateau. Our preliminary study from old array showed that the crustal velocity and focal mechanisms can be well constrained with local stations. The data accumulated from the new installed array and continuous monitoring of the seismicity can further enhance the resolution of velocity models and earthquake locations. With the support from MOST, we can continue to maintain the seismic array in the Caucasus and collaborate with local scientists. We hope to combine all different observations to understand the variation of crustal stress that maybe linked to near-field volcanoes and far-field collision.大陸碰撞震源機制接收函數應力火山微地震造山活動continental collisionfocal mechanismreceiver functionstressvolcanomicro-earthquakemountain building小高加索火山高原之地震研究
