A morphometric analysis of river network, basins and relief using geomorphic indices and geostatistical analyses of Digital Elevation Model (DEM) are useful tools for discussing the morphometric evolution of the basin area. In this study, three different indices including valley floor width to height ratio (V-f), stream gradient (SL), and stream sinuosity were applied to Afsin-Elbistan lignite basin to test the imprints of tectonic activity. Perturbations of these indices are usually indicative of differences in the resistance of outcropping lithological units to erosion and active faulting.

Morphometric analysis of active tectonic imprints at the junction of Büyük Menderes and Bozdoğan grabens, Western Anatolia Usta, Sultan Gamze; Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi; Özacar, Atilla Arda; Department of Geological Engineering (2015) Analysis of the basin asymmetry and morphometric indices is an effective methodology to detect surface signatures of active tectonic processes and to understand the differential uplift. Thus, basins controlled by active faults with different orientations provide a unique opportunity to evaluate fault controlled tilting. In this study, a morphometric analysis is conducted by means of the analytical capabilities of numerical computing and GIS software for an area characterized by orthogonal normal faults and ...
Evaluating the thermal stratification of Koycegiz Lake (SW Turkey) using in-situ and remote sensing observations Kurtulus, Tugba; Kurtulus, Bedri; Avsar, Ozgur; Avşar, Ulaş (Elsevier BV, 2019-10-01) The goal of this study is to evaluate the thermal properties of Koycegiz Lake using in-situ measurements and satellite based thermal infrared imagery. In-situ measurements of surface water temperature and water depth, as well as meteorological data, were used in the analysis. Images of the Landsat 8 TIRS (Thermal Infrared (IR) Sensors) at IR channels were taken from the data archives of United State Geological Survey (USGS), and were validated with surface in-situ measurements. Specific Electrical conductiv...
Palaeomagnetic evolution of the Cankiri Basin (central Anatolia, Turkey): implications for oroclinal bending due to indentation Kaymakcı, Nuretdin; Langereis, Cor; White, Stan; van Dijk, Paul (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2003-05-01) Palaeomagnetic data in combination with palaeostress data and anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility orientations are utilized to develop a tectonic evolutionary model for the Early Tertiary part of the Omega(omega)-shaped Cankiri Basin (Turkey). The results reveal clockwise rotations in the northeast and anticlockwise rotations in the west and southeastern corner of the basin. The magnetic inclinations indicate a northward drift of the Cankiri Basin and support an indentation model for the Kirsehir Block. I...
High-altitude Plio-Quaternary fluvial deposits and their implication on the tilt of a horst, western Anatolia, Turkey Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi; Rojay, B (Elsevier BV, 2006-03-01) This study investigates the origin and regional tectonic implications of high-altitude Plio (?)-Quaternary fluvial deposits developed over the Bozdak horst which is an important structural element within the horst-graben system of western Anatolia, Turkey. A total of 23 deposits occur near the modem drainage divide comprising fluvial to occasionally lacustrine deposits. The deposits are all elongated in N-S direction with a width/length ratio of 1/10. The largest of them is of 13 km in length with a maximum...
The relationship between Kestel Polje system and the Antalya Tufa Plateau: Their morphotectonic evolution in Isparta Angle, Antalya-Turkey DOĞAN, UĞUR; Kocyigit, Ali; Yeilyurt, Serdar (Elsevier BV, 2019-06-01) This paper focuses on the relation between two significant geomorphic features of the western Taurides: the Antalya Tufa Plateau and the structural Kestel polje system; revealing morphotectonic records of the formation and evolution of karst hydrology between the two features. Data were obtained by detailed mapping of faults, rocks, and geomorphic features. The evolutionary history of the area begins with a nearly E-W-trending drainage system which flowed on the erosional surfaces formed during late Langhia...
