This study aims to investigate tectonic activity levels and development stages of the tectonic and hydrologic basin areas located on western part of the main trace of the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) using quantitative measurement techniques. The basins investigated are Bolu, Yeniçağa, Dörtdivan, Çerkes, Ilgaz and Tosya. The methodology includes application of six morphometric indices (Basin Shape, Hypsometric curve and Hypsometric Integral, Sinuosity of Mountain Fronts, Stream Length Gradient Index, Valley width to height ratio, and Asymmetry Factor) to Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of the region generated from 1:25000 scale topographic maps. The analyses indicate that the basins located in the study area have different characteristics of tectonic activity. According to the results of the applied indices relative order of the activity for tectonic basins is, in decreasing order, Bolu, Tosya, Ilgaz, Çerkes, Yeniçağa and Dörtdivan. For hydrologic basins, on the other hand, the same order is observed except for a swap in Çerkes and Yeniçağa basins. Among the basins located to the north of the NAFZ, the activity decreases eastward whereas to the south the fault zone it decreases towards the west.

Active tectonics and kinematics of Fethiye-Göcek Bay, SW Turkey
Tosun, Levent; Kaymakcı, Nuretdin; Department of Geological Engineering (2018)
Tomographic studies conducted in Eastern Mediterranean region reveal that Pliny-Strabo Trench corresponds to a tear known as "STEP" (Subduction Transform Edge Propagator) fault connecting the Aegean and Cyprean trenches along the northern edge of the northward subducting African lithosphere. Recently, it is claimed that Fethiye-Burdur Fault Zone, which interpreted as a sinistral transtensional shear zone, is the northeaster continuation of this fault. In order to test this hypothesis, a rigorous study aimin...
Helium isotope variations in Turkey: relationship to tectonics, volcanism and recent seismic activities
Güleç, Nilgün Türkan; Mutlu, H (2002-07-01)
The distribution of helium isotope ratios in the various tectonic provinces of Turkey is examined through a synthesis of previously published data and the results of a recent survey along the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) following the catastrophic 1999 earthquakes. The R/R-A values (where R = sample He-3/He-4 and RA = air He-3/He-4) cover a wide range from 0.05 to 7.87, and the mantle-derived helium is clearly identified in most locations, The mantle-derived component is high (> 50% of total He) in (a)...
The Character and displacement of Adıyaman fault (southeast anatolia): evidence from subsurface data
Durukan, Bayram Alper; Bozkurt, Erdin; Department of Geological Engineering (2019)
Structural interpretation of five 2D seismic sections acquired by TPAO is carried out in the Adıyaman region of Southeast Anatolia. The sections are geological calibrated with stratigraphic logs of five boreholes. This study has resulted in the discovery of a previously undefined fault, herein named as Şambayat Fault. The fault is a NW-SEtrending structure that parallels the Bozova Fault and comprises several parallel fault segments. The structural maps of Cretaceous Sayındere and Karababa formations are al...
Monitoring of chemical and isotopic compositions of geothermal waters along the North Anatolian fault zone
Süer, Selin; Güleç, Nilgün Türkan; Department of Geological Engineering (2004)
This study aims to determine the chemical (anion-cation) and isotopic compositions (d18O-dD-3H) of the geothermal waters along the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) and highlight any possible seismicity-induced temporal variations during the course of two years (2002-2003) monitoring programme. The geothermal sites are alligned along a 800 km transect of the NAFZ and are, from west to east, Yalova, Efteni, Bolu, Mudurnu, Seben, Kursunlu, Hamamözü, Gözlek and Resadiye. The thermal waters of NAFZ are dominant...
Evaluation of site conditions for the Ankara Basin of Turkey based on seismic site characterization of near-surface geologic materials
Kockar, M. K.; Akgün, Haluk; Rathje, E. M. (Elsevier BV, 2010-01-01)
Regional site conditions relevant for seismic hazard studies can be derived from various geologic, seismologic, and geotechnical sources. In this study, site conditions are derived for the Ankara Basin in Turkey by merging in-situ seismic measurements of dynamic properties, geologic information, and some geotechnical boring information. Field seismic refraction surveys were performed at 259 sites in the project area to classify and characterize Plio-Pleistocene fluvial deposits and Quaternary alluvial and t...
