Tectonosedimentary Evolution Of The Karacasu And Bozdoğan Basins In The Central Menderes Massif, W Anatolia, Faruk Ocakoğlu, Sanem Açikalin, Erman Özsayin, Ramazan Kadi̇r Di̇ri̇k Jan 2014

Tectonosedimentary Evolution Of The Karacasu And Bozdoğan Basins In The Central Menderes Massif, W Anatolia, Faruk Ocakoğlu, Sanem Açikalin, Erman Özsayin, Ramazan Kadi̇r Di̇ri̇k

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The Karacasu and Bozdoğan basins, which trend obliquely to modern grabens in the Central Menderes Massif, are investigated in terms of morphology, basinfill architecture, and structure. Evaluation of the previous geophysical and new structural data indicates that the basins are symmetrical grabens mostly running in a N-S direction. Analysis of sedimentary facies of the basins’ infill supports the simple graben model by revealing lateral alluvial/colluvial fans in basin margins and axial fluvial/lacustrine environments in a central trough. The long-term changes between fluvial and lacustrine conditions in the basins are attributed to paleoclimatic origin. Paleostress analysis of slickensides substantiates that the …

Previously, G. vidali was reported only from the Nagri Formation …


Probabilistic Earthquake Hazard Assessment For Ankara And Its Environs, Bülent Özmen, Berna Burçak Başbuğ Erkan Jan 2014

Probabilistic Earthquake Hazard Assessment For Ankara And Its Environs, Bülent Özmen, Berna Burçak Başbuğ Erkan

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The capital and the second largest city of Turkey, Ankara, is generally considered to be safe in terms of seismic activities and earthquake hazard. However, recent studies and earthquakes experienced in the region showed that Ankara is not indeed seismically safe. As the number of studies on Ankara’s seismic hazard increases, the number of scientists who claim that the earthquake hazard in Ankara is higher than expected also increases. However, to date no detailed analysis has been undertaken as to the earthquake hazard facing Ankara. This study has compiled data from the earthquake catalogues available in Turkey and employed the …

A Microscopic Approach To The Pedogenic Formation Of Palygorskite Associated With Quaternary Calcretes Of The Adana Area, Southern Turkey, Meryem Yeşi̇lot Kaplan, Muhsi̇n Eren, Selahatti̇n Kadi̇r, Seli̇m Kapur, Jennifer Huggett Jan 2014

A Microscopic Approach To The Pedogenic Formation Of Palygorskite Associated With Quaternary Calcretes Of The Adana Area, Southern Turkey, Meryem Yeşi̇lot Kaplan, Muhsi̇n Eren, Selahatti̇n Kadi̇r, Seli̇m Kapur, Jennifer Huggett

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

Quaternary calcretes in the Adana area (southern Turkey) are widespread and occur in a variety of forms such as nodular, columnar/tubular, fracture-infill, laminated hardpan, and conglomeratic crusts. Palygorskite associated with calcrete nodules, tubes, and fracture-infills in the columnar horizon and adjacent host-rock mudstones suggests a cogenetic formation. The Beta-fabric (biogenic) constituents and stable isotope values of calcretes support a pedogenic origin for calcretes and also palygorskite. Extensions of palygorskite fibre and fibre bundles from euhedral to subhedral calcite crystals in calcretes and from smectite flakes in adjacent host-rock mudstone suggest an authigenic origin related to calcretisation in which precipitation and …


Structural Analyses Of Şaphane Relay Ramps And Fault Linkage Evolution In Active Extensional Regime, Western Turkey, Şule Gürboğa Jan 2014

Structural Analyses Of Şaphane Relay Ramps And Fault Linkage Evolution In Active Extensional Regime, Western Turkey, Şule Gürboğa

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The Şaphane relay ramps (SAR-I and SAR-II) are well-developed structures formed by extensional tectonic settings in western Turkey. Their formation is controlled by the configuration of 2 different breaching faults located in between and the overlapping area of 3 normal faults, which are the Şaphane, Gürlek, and Yumrutaş faults. The relay ramps form within a ~3 km-wide and ~12 km-long interaction zone between 045° and 060° trending faults on the northern boundary of the Erdoğmuş-Yenigediz graben. Some variations in structural styles and its products (for example, overlapping slip-lines (slickenlines), fractures, and antithetic-synthetic faults) are observed along the breaching faults in …

Carbonate Sealing And Its Controlling Factors: Cap Rock And Inner Barrier Layers Of Yingshan Formation On Tazhong Northern Slope, Tarim Basin, Xiaodong Lan, Xiuxiang Lu

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The Yingshan Formation, located on the Tazhong Northern Slope, contains oil- and gas-rich layers with the reserves of about 700 × 10^6 TOE. The high-resistivity inner layers isolate the hydrocarbon bearing zones and form the sequential sets of reservoir bed-seal assemblages in a vertical direction within the Yingshan Formation, which is directly bound above by a micritic carbonate cap rock that is overlain by the 3rd to 5th members of the Lianglitag Formation. The sealing capability of the cap rock and inner barrier layers was evaluated macroscopically and microscopically in terms of the core breakthrough pressure and thin-section identification. The …

The purpose of this study was to understand the origin of the hydrothermal waters responsible and the source of carbon dioxide, and to compare these deposits with similar magnesite occurrences in Turkey and elsewhere. Petrographic and XRD analyses indicate that magnesite was the major carbonate mineral formed. Deposits are predominantly micritic and locally microsparitic, but some also contain …


The Utility Of Vulnerability Maps And Gis In Groundwater Management: A Case Study, Muhterem Demi̇roğlu, John Dowd Jan 2014

The Utility Of Vulnerability Maps And Gis In Groundwater Management: A Case Study, Muhterem Demi̇roğlu, John Dowd

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

Groundwater supplies are experiencing a critical shortage in arid and semiarid regions, as population growth, and hence demand, is not matched by the development of new water supplies. Groundwater is often the only water source in these areas, making the preservation of groundwater quality a critical issue. Powerful tools for groundwater protection are vulnerability maps, which can be used to identify protection zones. A number of factors influence aquifer vulnerability, including geology, geography, land use, and commercial and industrial development. These factors often display a complex spatial pattern easily addressed with GIS. Each factor is entered in the GIS as …


Santonian-Campanian Biostratigraphy Of The Kalaat Senan Area (West-Central Tunisia), Zaineb Elamri, Dalila Zaghbib-Turki Jan 2014

Santonian-Campanian Biostratigraphy Of The Kalaat Senan Area (West-Central Tunisia), Zaineb Elamri, Dalila Zaghbib-Turki

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The Santonian-Campanian (S/C) transition in the Kalaat Senan area is well exposed in the Assila Wadi (OA) section and consists of marls with indurate glauconitic levels towards the base. Standard Mediterranean ammonite biozonations could not be applied to this section because the biomarkers are absent. However, planktonic foraminiferal biozonation is more reliable for indicating the S/C boundary, and here we propose to use the last appearance datum of Dicarinella asymetrica as the index marker of this boundary. A high-resolution quantitative analysis of the planktonic foraminifera of the OA section allows us to define the main bioevents across the S/C transition …

Palynofloras of the Kocaçay and Cumaovası basins in western Turkey that belong to a time-span from the late Early to late Middle Miocene (the late Burdigalian-Serravallian) are studied and compared with published palynofloras of Europe and Turkey. Palynological data and numerical climatic results obtained by the coexistence approach indicate palaeoclimate changed from warm subtropical to temperate during the late Burdigalian-Serravallian. Moreover, the palaeoclimates of the Kocaçay and Cumaovası basins are compared with continental palaeoclimatic records of coal-bearing sediments in western Turkey and current temperatures in the İzmir region. According to this comparison, palaeoclimatic results of these basins and other localities …


Antique Quarries Of Marmor Troadense (Nw Turkey): Insights From Field Mapping And Absolute Dating, Enver Vural Yavuz Jan 2014

Antique Quarries Of Marmor Troadense (Nw Turkey): Insights From Field Mapping And Absolute Dating, Enver Vural Yavuz

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

In this study, we present new field and chronological data from 2 antique quarries of marmor troadense (Kestanbol quartz-monzonite) in northwestern Turkey. Marmor troadense has been mined and the building stones have been exported all over the Mediterranean region since approximately 2500 years ago. Analysis of 11 samples from the quarried bedrock for cosmogenic ^{10}Be showed that the landscape is so old that the inheritance obscured the absolute dating of the operation periods. Nonetheless, ^{14}C analysis of 4 charcoal samples from the sediments covering the ruins of Alexandria Troas indicated that these quarries stopped operating no later than 395 AD. …

Hard Chromium Electrodeposition From A Trivalent Chromium Bath Containing Water-Soluble Polymer, Vyacheslav Protsenko, Viktor Gordiienko, Tatiana Butyrina, Elena Vasileva, Felix Danilov

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The effect of polyvinylpyrrolidones (PVPs) with different molecular weights as polymeric additives to a sulfate trivalent chromium bath was ascertained. Introduction of PVPs to the plating bath was stated to result in improvement in the surface appearance of chromium deposits and stabilization of current efficiency value in long-term electrolysis. The rate of metal deposition is practically independent of the deposition time. Thus, using PVP additive allows one to obtain high-quality Cr-coatings with a thickness of several tens of micrometers. It is found by means of turbidimetric analysis that the polymer additive has an accelerating effect on the aggregation of particles …

Pw_{12}-Aptes@Mcf: Effective Nanosized Mesoporous Composites For The Oxidation Of Benzyl Alcohols, Razieh Fazaeli, Hamid Aliyan, Somaieh Parishani Foroushani, Zahra Mohagheghian

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The surface of mesocellular silica foam (MCF) was modified by grafting 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APTES) to have a positive charge, and thus to provide sites for the immobilization of H_3PW_{12}O_{40} (PW_{12}). This modified nanosized mesoporous silica (PW_{12}-APTES@MCF) was characterized by FTIR, XRD, BET, and TEM. XRD and adsorption--desorption analysis shows that the mesostructure of silica remains intact after various modifications, while the spectral technique shows the successful grafting of the neat PW_{12} inside the porous silica support. The oxidation of alcohols occurs effectively and selectively with H_2O_2 as the oxidant. PW_{12}-APTES@MCF was used as the catalyst. The catalyst can be reused several …
