Some links to more detailed scientific information on this earthquake (additional links through these sites):
USGS National Earthquake Information Center page on this event
Includes overview, moment tensor and arrival time information, seismotectonic summary, some information on surface offset observations.
IRIS special page on Turkey earthquake research
Currently a list of links similar to this; they are soliciting researchers to add links.
Izmit earthquake info, KOERI Seismological Observatory Geophysics Dept., special earthquake site or better yet, a fast US mirror site, inline aftershock map or external image
The special site has links to maps, photos, and background. A limited, near-real time seismicity map of western Turkey is at the other links. Can be quite slow.
