Drowning unconformities and their related strata are important records of key tectonic and environmental events. In the Adıyaman region of SE Turkey, Cenomanian-Turonian strata record a drowning unconformity in several stratigraphic section. This study records shallow water carbonate strata overlain by pelagic units containing planktonic foraminiferal assemblages in the Inisdere outcrop section and surrounding well sections. We suggest a succession exposed along the Inisdere Valley in the northwestern Adıyaman which represent best observable outcrop for carbonate platform drowning in the region. Detailed facies analyses, biostratigraphic dating, and paleoenvironmental interpretations using benthic, planktonic foraminifera and calcareous nannofossil collected from the Inisdere succession constrain the drowning event in the beginning of early Turonian. A paleoenvironmental model has been formulated to explain the successive paleocommunity changes during the drowning of the Arabian platform. We relate the drowning of some parts of the platform to the occurrence of the Cenomanian-Turonian oceanic anoxic event. The impingement of anoxic waters over the platform could produce the drastic reduction of the carbonate production observed in the stratigraphic section and therefore a reduction in carbonate accumulation rates. Regional/local subsidence and sea level rise within the Late Cenomanian-Early Turonian interval were the cause of the drowning of the platform and this event might have withnessed the oceanic anoxic event 2 in the region.

The earthquake sedimentary record of the Lake Hazar along the East Anatolian fault in Turkey Boes, Xavier; Hubert-ferrari, Aurelia; Garcia Moreno, David; Avşar, Ulaş; Damcı, Emre; Çağatay, Namık; Moernaut, Jasper; De Batist, Marc (2009-04-24) There are a few places in the world where sedimentary records have been studied looking at climate and tectonic interactions. In Turkey, after the destructive Izmit 1999 earthquake, a number of projects have focused on the North Anatolian strike-slip fault in Turkey using lacustrine and marine sedimentary records available in and around the Marmara Sea to further constrain Holocene climatic changes and the occurrence of past major earthquakes. A similar type of study was conducted along the poorly studied t...
The experimental analysis on the Late Quaternary deposits of the Black Sea Tekiroglu, SE; Ediger, V; Yemenicioglu, S; Kapur, S; Akca, E (Elsevier BV, 2001-01-01) Holocene sediments taken from the south-eastern and western Black Sea have been investigated in relation to their geochemical, sedimentological and mineralogical characteristics. Their textures are characterized by their low amount of sand, upward-increasing silt and downward-increasing clay contents. While the terrigenous materials transported from Anatolian volcanic-based sources and European alluvial sediments form the shore deposits, the deep-sea sediments mainly consist of the marine biological product...
A sequence stratigraphic approach to the depositional history analysis of the upper eocene sedimentary succession, northwest of the thrace basin, Turkey Sünnetçioğlu, Mehmet Akif; Altıner, Demir; Department of Geological Engineering (2008) This study investigates the depositional history of the Late Eocene sedimentary record in the northwest of the Thrace Basin in a sequence stratigraphic approach and estimates the contribution of regional tectonics, basin physiography and eustasy. Late Eocene sedimentary succession was analyzed in two third-order sequences based on two major data sets; seismic reflection and well data sets. Depositional Sequence-1, represented by progradational stacking patterns, comprises the coarse-grained “Hamitabat” turb...
The influence of seawater carbonate chemistry, mineralogy, and diagenesis on calcium isotope variations in Lower-Middle Triassic carbonate rocks Lau, Kimberly V.; Maher, Kate; Brown, Shaun T.; Jost, Adam B.; Altıner, Demir; DePaolo, Donald J.; Eisenhauer, Anton; Kelley, Brian M.; Lehrmann, Daniel J.; Paytan, Adina; Yu, Meiyi; Carlos Silva-Tamayo, Juan; Payne, Jonathan L. (2017-11-05) The geological calcium cycle is linked to the geological carbon cycle through the weathering and burial of carbonate rocks. As a result, calcium (Ca) isotope ratios (Ca-44/Ca-40, expressed as delta Ca-44/40) can help to constrain ancient carbon cycle dynamics if Ca cycle behavior can be reconstructed. However, the delta Ca-44/40 of carbonate rocks is influenced not only by the delta Ca-44/40 of seawater but also by diagenetic processes and fractionation associated with carbonate precipitation. In this study...
The assessment of socio-economic impacts of climate change in rural areas: the case of Konya Özgür, Busen; Balaban, Osman; Department of City and Regional Planning (2019) Climate change and its related events have made significant impacts on rural areas in socio-economic as well as environmental terms. Even though agriculture sector is a cause of climate change, agricultural production itself has also been adversely affected by the climate problem. Climate change also affects rural development and conservation policies in terms of the problem it causes such as natural disasters, migration, poverty, diseases, and food security. Moreover, the rural and agricultural impacts of ...
