The fishery harbor of Karaburun coastal village is located at the south west coast of the Black Sea. The significant waves coming from north eastern direction cause considerable rate of sediment transport along 4 km sandy beach towards the fishery harbor in the region. The resulting sediment deposition near and inside the harbor entrance prevents the boat traffic and cause a vital problem for the harbor operations. In order to determine the level and reasons of the sediment transport, the long-term observations of shoreline changes, the long-term statistical analysis of wind and wave characteristics in the region, and sediment properties have been performed. The data obtained from observations, measurements and analysis were discussed. The long-term statistics of deep water significant wave heights for each direction was discussed by comparing the results obtained from different data sources and methods. For shoreline evolution, the numerical study using one-line model was applied to describe the shoreline changes with respect to probable wave conditions. Initial shoreline was obtained from the digitized image in 1996 since there was no previous shoreline measurement of the site. The results were compared using the techniques of remote sensing obtained from sequent images using IKONOS and IRSIC/D satellites.

Hydraulic and sediment transport modeling for Cache Creek Settling Basin, Woodland California Carr, K.J.; Ercan, Ali; Kavvas, M.L. (2010-08-02) The Cache Creek Settling Basin is located two miles east of Woodland, California and was constructed to preserve the floodway capacity of the Yolo Bypass by entrapping sediment. Cache Creek is the main source of mercury entering the San Francisco Bay-Delta. Entrapping sediment helps to entrap mercury thus acting to protect the aquatic life of the San Francisco Bay-Delta. A 2-dimensional hydraulic and sediment transport model is under development. The model modules for sediment transport and hydrodynamic mod...
Principles for the conservation and presentation of the archaeological heritage at the 6th century Byzantine settlement on Gemiler Island (Lycia) Elmastaş, Pınar; Serin, Ufuk; Conservation of Cultural Heritage in Department of Architecture (2022-10-4) Gemiler Island is located in the Gulf of Belceğiz on the northwest coast of ancient Lycia. This small island comprises the compact and relatively well-preserved remains of an Early Byzantine settlement, surrounded by a few nearby sites (equally with reduced dimensions) which were in close association with the main settlement on the island in Antiquity. The settlement on Gemiler Island was established ex novo in the 6th century (CE) and reveals the typical characteristics of an Early Byzantine provincial tow...
Recent sedimentation in the Black Sea: New insights from radionuclide distributions and sulfur isotopes Yücel, Mustafa; Butler, Ian B.; BOYCE, Adrian; Luther, George W. (2012-08-01) The Black Sea is the world's largest anoxic-sulfidic marine basin and has unique sedimentation conditions. Recent studies suggested that mass accumulation rates (MAR) in this environment have increased in the past century when compared to the last 2000 years (Unit 1 period). In this paper we test this hypothesis with new MAR data and further explore the relationship between the depositional pattern and pyrite-sulfur isotopic signature. Based on 15 cores sampled in 2001 and 2003, our dataset comprises radioa...
Evaluation of heavy metal contents, polyaromatic petroleum hydrocarbons and some inorganic pollutants in the south Marmara rivers, Turkey Yılmaz, Ayşen; Yemenicioglu, S; Aksoy, S; Torunoglu, T (1998-05-01) Nilufer River is the main receiving body of water for the industrial and domestic wastes of 1.000.000 populated Bursa metropolitan area and it combines with Kocasu River before entering the sea at the south Marmara region, Turkey. Variations in concentrations of Na, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Cl, SO4, PO4, NH4, NO3, NO2, BOD5, COD, polyaromatic petroleum hydrocarbons (PAH), pH and some heavy metals (Hg, Cd, Cr, Zn, Pb) were seasonally determined in 1991-94 period. The results showed that these rivers are included in th...
DIGGING PITS AND MAKING PLACES AT UGURLU DURING THE SIXTH MILLENNIUM BC Karamurat, Cansu; Atakuman, Çiğdem; ERDOĞU, BURÇİN (Wiley, 2021-01-01) The site of Ugurlu on the island of Gokceada (Imbros) is the earliest known Neolithic settlement within the Aegean Islands (c.6800-4500 cal. BC). In total, 37 pits, associated with a rich variety of artefacts as well as human and animal bones were excavated in the Late Neolithic and Early Chalcolithic levels of the site (c.5900-4500 BC). The pits belonging to the early sixth millennium BC levels of Ugurlu were small and located within the houses that seem to have gone through multiple episodes of house dest...
