Abstract [en]
We provide a dataset (including grids, density voxels and gravity residuals) that allows recreating a 3D lithospheric-scale structural and density model of the Sea of Marmara, in NW Türkiye. The model covers an area of 250 km x 100 km with 2.5 km resolution, and has been constructed by integrating a wide range of gravity-independent geological and geophysical observations, additionally constrained via a multi-step gravity modelling workflow and seismic tomography analysis. The presented model highlights the existence of a high-density thick crust below the Istanbul Zone, which is bounded to the south by the Main Marmara Fault branch of the North Anatolian Fault and to the west, by the West Black Sea Fault.

Technical Information
The dataset files are organized in three different data folders: GRIDS, RESIDUALS and VOXELS.
A detailed description of the files can be found in the accompanying PDF file.
The methods used to create the model are described in more detail in Fernandez et al. (2024) and its Supporting Information.
