In this study, to investigate the mantle-crust interaction in Western Turkey, geothermal fluidsfrom various locations are analyzed for their 3He/4He ratios. The results reveal a mixing between mantle - and(continental) crustal - helium components. The distribution of mantle-helium, which is characterized by high3He/4He ratios, does not show any correlation with the spatial and/or temporal distribution of the surfacevolcanics in the region, but appears to be governed by the distribution of tectonic deformation. The lack of anycorrelation between the distribution of mantle-helium and surface volcanism suggests that helium, now degassingfrom mantle, has most probably entered the crust in association with the melts emplaced at deeper levels. Thefault systems of the present extensional tectonics are thought to have had an efficient role in the escape of heliumto the surface through the brittle parts of crust

Helium-carbon relationships in geothermal fluids of western Anatolia, Turkey Mutlu, Halim; Güleç, Nilgün Türkan; Hilton, David R. (Elsevier BV, 2008-01-15) We investigate the helium, carbon and oxygen-hydrogen isotopic systematics and CO(2)/(3)He ratios of 8 water and 6 gas samples collected from 12 geothermal fields in western Anatolia (Turkey). (3)He/(4)He ratios of the samples (R) normalized to the atmospheric (3)He/(4)He ratio (R(A) = 1.39 x 10(-6)) range from 0.27 to 1.67 and are significantly higher than the crustal production value of 0.05. Fluids with relatively high R/R(A) values are generally found in areas of significant heat potential (Kizildere an...
Helium isotope variations in Turkey: relationship to tectonics, volcanism and recent seismic activities Güleç, Nilgün Türkan; Mutlu, H (2002-07-01) The distribution of helium isotope ratios in the various tectonic provinces of Turkey is examined through a synthesis of previously published data and the results of a recent survey along the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) following the catastrophic 1999 earthquakes. The R/R-A values (where R = sample He-3/He-4 and RA = air He-3/He-4) cover a wide range from 0.05 to 7.87, and the mantle-derived helium is clearly identified in most locations, The mantle-derived component is high (> 50% of total He) in (a)...
Annual variations in biochemical composition of seston and zooplankton community in Mersin bay-Northeastern Mediterranean Zenginer Yılmaz, Arife; Beşiktepe, Şengül; Department of Marine Biology and Fisheries (2007) In this study, annual variations in biochemical composition of seston and zooplankton community were investigated to characterize the nutritional environment of zooplankton in the Mersin Bay, NE Mediterranean Sea. For this goal, seawater and zooplankton samples were collected at monthly intervals from two stations; one representing coastal and other representing open waters characteristics from November 2004 to January 2006. Seawater samples were collected with Niskin bottles from the sea surface. Zooplankt...
PM2.5 BOUND ORGANIC MOLECULAR MARKER SPECIATION METHODS AND OBSERVATIONS FROM DAILY MEASUREMENTS IN ANKARA, TURKEY Koçak, Ebru; Kilavuz, Seda Aslan; İmamoğlu, İpek; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal (2017-01-01) In this study PM2.5 samples, for organic speciation, were collected at two location in the city of Ankara. One of these stations is a typical urban station close to the city center and the other one is a suburban station located in the Middle East Technical University campus. The two stations were approximately 15 km apart. Samples were collected onto prebaked quartz filters using a Hi-Vol sampler with a typical flow rate of 1.06-1.18 m(-3) min(-1). Mass concentration was determined gravimetrically by weigh...
Kinetic analysis of central anatolia oil shale by combustion cell experiments Iscan, A. G.; Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Bagci, A. S. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-06-01) In this study, four oil-shale samples (Nigde-Ulukisla) excavated from Central Anatolia Turkey were analyzed where this region is believed to have a high potential of oil in its shale rich outcrops. The samples (similar to 40 g) were combusted at 50 psi gas injection pressure, at an air injection rate of 1.5 L min(-1) in a combustion-reaction cell. All the experiments were conducted up to 600 degrees C. The percentages of oxygen consumption and carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide production were obtained inst...
