Cover Story: The 6 February 2023, earthquake doublet (Mw 7.7 and Mw 7.6) on the East Anatolian Fault Zone triggered widespread soil liquefaction in SE Türkiye and NW Syria. To address this, we refined a remote sensing method for mapping liquefaction. Using optical and radar satellite imagery, we identified 1850 liquefaction sites. The majority of them were located in river valleys, coastal plains, drained lakes, swamps, and lacustrine basins along the fault zone, revealing the influence of landform and surficial geology on liquefaction distribution. Remarkably, 95% of sites were within 25 km of the fault's surface trace, highlighting proximity to fault rupture as a more reliable predictor than epicenter distance. This desktop-based approach offers rapid and cost-effective earthquake-induced liquefaction mapping, aiding future hazard assessments. View this paper
