Tectonic movements which took place in Late Cretaceous-Neogene time interval make the geology of Central Anatolia very complicated. This study has been carried out to reveal the structural elements and their relationships in this complex geology by taking the advantages of remote sensing in being economical, saving time, having a wide coverage area, detecting the features unseen by naked eye, and being able to observe the areas hard to be reached. Within the scope of the thesis, evaluation of aerial photos, contrast enhancement, principal component analysis, decorrelation stretching, and stereoscopic image analysis of Terra ASTER data were used as remote sensing methods. Besides, digital elevation modeling and map preparation were used as GIS techniques. In conclusion, lineament analysis, field verification, structural data collection, evaluation of the distinctive points, kinematic interpretation and drawing conclusions from them are the studies that were performed. The structural elements obtained in the laboratory were controlled in situ and collected slip data were analyzed to make a kinematic interpretation. According to this, it was concluded that the normal faulting overprints onto compressional structures -strike slip faults and thrusts- in Central Anatolia.

Identification of morphometric properties of basins located on western part of NAFZ Sarp, Gülcan; Toprak, Vedat; Düzgün, H. Şebnem; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2012) 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, V...
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...
Analysis of seismic anisotropy across Central Anatolia by shear wave splitting Pamir, Dilekcan; Özacar, Atilla Arda; Department of Geological Engineering (2014) Central Anatolia plays a significant role to connect the theories on the ongoing tectonic escape, the African Plate subduction along Cyprus Arc and the collision of Arabian Plate along Bitlis Suture. On the other hand, the shear wave splitting measurements which characterize the seismic anisotropy are very sparse in the region. The seismic data recorded by national seismic networks with a denser coverage provides a unique opportunity to analyze the effect of present slab geometry (slab tears, slab break-off...
Kinematics of Delice-Kozaklı fault zone (North Central Anatolia, Turkey) Tokay, Bülent; Bozkurt, Erdin; Kaymakcı, Nuretdin; Department of Geological Engineering (2015) The Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex (CACC) forms a part of Alpine orogenic belt in Turkey and incorporates three major massifs and several basins that developed during extension commenced by the Late Cretaceous. They were deformed during subsequent collision of Anatolide-Tauride Platform and Pontides. The deformation of the region has resulted in the break-up of the CACC along major deformation (fault) zones. The present study aims to test existence of one of these fault zones, namely Delice-Kozaklı f...
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...
