Köyceǧiz Lake discharges into the southern Aegean Sea through a waterway of 14 km length. There exist variations in the local sand transport around the inlet during the year so that the cross-sections at the channel and the neighbouring sea bed topography show seasonal change exhibiting a dynamic equilibrium behavior. Field measurements were carried out at the inlet for about a year with the purpose of understanding the nature of water motions and the resulting sedimentation patterns. The observed dynamic equilibrium of the inlet's topography is discussed in this paper in the light of the survey results.

Measurement and evaluation of the hydrodynamics and secondary currents in and near a strait connecting large water bodies - A field study Gueler, Isikhan; Yueksel, Yalcin; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Cevik, Esin; Ingerslev, Christian (Elsevier BV, 2006-09-01) The straits connect two large water bodies show highly strong and stratified currents related to meteorological, morphological and hydrodynamic conditions. In some cases, spatial and temporal changes of the stratified currents and their thickness, direction and magnitude are so complex. This complexity directly affects the circulation pattern in the region, water exchange between both ends of the straits and migration of fish species. In order to understand general characteristics of this kind of straits an...
Potential tsunami hazard along the southern Turkish coast Aydin, Baran; Sharghivand, Naeimeh; Bayazitoglu, Ozge (Elsevier BV, 2020-06-01) The aim of this study is to determine the tsunami potential of the southern Turkish coast through hypothetical earthquake scenarios developed for several critical coastal sites in the region. A well-known tsunami numerical model (MOST) is utilized to calculate the run-up and inundation of the subsequent tsunami waves. The coastal regions selected to realize the aim of the study are Akkuyu and Yesilovacik from Mersin and Yumurtalik from Adana, which are chosen for their industrial and environmental importanc...
Seismic response of a rubble mound breakwater in Turkey Yuksel, Y; Çetin, Kemal Önder; Ozguven, O; Isik, NS; Cevik, E; Sumer, BM (Thomas Telford Ltd., 2004-12-01) This paper presents analyses of seismically induced deformations at Eregli Fishery Port breakwater during the 1999 Kocaeli (Izmit), Turkey earthquake. The paper discusses: (a) observed ground deformations and displacements after the earthquake; (b) the results of field investigations by means of borings including standard penetration tests; (c) analyses of observed deformation mechanisms by a suite of methods; and (d) the possible contribution of soil liquefaction rupture on the observed deformations.
Evaluating coastal scenery using fuzzy logic: Application at selected sites in Western Black Sea coastal region of Turkey Ergin, Ayşen; Sahin, Fatma (Elsevier BV, 2010-05-01) Coastal areas of the world are under treat due to the conflicting requirements of functions such as habitation and/or recreation, which affect the strategic asset of coastal scenery itself. Coastal managers, together with planners, need coastal landscape inventories, where the quality of coastal scenery is a part of the inventory. In order to provide an evidence-based approach for sound coastal management decisions, Ergin et al. (2004, 2006) developed a novel technique 'coastal scenic evaluation' (CSE), whi...
FILLING OF THE MARMARA SEA BY THE DARDANELLES LOWER LAYER INFLOW BESIKTEPE, S; OZSOY, E; UNLUATA, U (1993-09-01) The sub-halocline waters of the Marmara Sea are renewed with the incoming Dardanelles lower layer flow. As shown by observations, this inflow takes the form of a turbulent plume which first sinks down and then spreads out into the interior. A ''filling box'' model is developed to test the sensitivity of the Dardanelles-Marmara Sea system to the set of relevant environmental parameters. The seasonal variability of the Dardanelles inflow is shown to play a crucial role in the sub-halocline water mass characte...
