Larger diatoms (>55 µm) were sampled using closing bottles from on board the R/V Bilim along adjacent water masses of different origin in order to observe patchy assemblages of net diatoms. MDS (Multi-Dimensional Scaling) plots of diatoms in adjacent water masses inhabiting the south-western Black Sea, Bosphorus, Golden Horn, the north-eastern Sea of Marmara and Izmit Bay have shown that patchy configurations of diatom were orientated along particular dominating environmental gradients, mainly temperature and salinity. A two-way evolution takes place in the Bosphorus as the Black Sea water flows towards the Sea of Marmara near the surface and under-neath the Mediterranean inflow, below the pycnocline towards the Black Sea. Considerable changes in salinity and temperature with depth in the region affected the drifting flora considerably, especially its diatom composition. Of all the regions, the south-western Black Sea was the most species diverse and abundant.

Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes appended conjugated soluble polymers based on thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6,dione acceptor unit Çakal, Deniz; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar (2021-05-01) A series of new donor-acceptor-donor type fluorescent molecules incorporating thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6-dione (TPD) as the acceptor unit were synthesized. TPD acceptor unit was modified with polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) cages and integrated with thiophene and alkylenedioxythiophene derivatives (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) and 3,4-propylenedioxythiophene (ProDOT)) using Stille coupling reaction. The monomers, T-2-POSS, E-2-POSS, and P-2-POSS, were polymerized successfully via electrochem...
SPATIAL VARIATIONS OF PARTICULATE ORGANIC MATTER (POM) COMPOSITION AND CONCENTRATIONS IN SURFACE WATERS AND SEDIMENTS OF THE MERSIN BAY Akçay, İsmail; Tuğrul, Süleyman; Department of Oceanography (2015-9-8) Spatial and temporal variations of hydrophysical properties (temperature, salinity, density), eutrophication-related parameters (nutrients, Chl-a, dissolved oxygen) and particulate organic matter (POM) concentrations and composition (C/N/P) in water column and surface sediments were examined at 33 stations between April 2014 and February 2015 in Mersin Bay located at northeastern (NE) Mediterranean. Regional and seasonal distributions of nutrients in the Mersin Bay are affected by human-induced pressures. H...

Observed basin-wide propagation of Mediterranean water in the Black Sea Falina, Anastasia; Sarafanov, Artem; Özsoy, Emin; Turunçoğlu, Ufuk Utku (2017-04-01) Mediterranean water entering the Black Sea through the Bosphorus Strait forms middepth intrusions that contribute to the salt, heat, and volume balances of the sea, ventilate its water column at intermediate depths and restrain the upward flux of hydrogen sulfide from deeper layers. Despite the importance for the Black Sea environment, the circulation of Mediterranean-origin water in the basin is fundamentally underexplored. Here we use hydrographic data collected from ships and Argo profiling floats to ide...
Spatial distribution of some elements and elemental contamination in the sediments of Koycegiz Lake (SW Turkey) Gulsen-Rothmund, Halil Ibrahim; Avsar, Ozgur; Avşar, Ulaş; Kurtulus, Bedri; Tunca, Evren (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-07-01) Elemental accumulation, distribution and relationship profiles for sediment samples taken at 81 localities in the Koycegiz Lake were investigated. Spatial distribution maps for ten elements (Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Cr, Co, Mn, Mo, Al, Fe) were created using the ordinary kriging interpolation method. Statistical tests revealed that the sediments taken from areas close to the Namnam (NamSM) and Kargicak (KarSM) stream mouths have the highest element content. In addition, sediments close to NamSM have the highest cont...
