Structure of the crust and African slab beneath the central Anatolian plateau from receiver functions: New insights on isostatic compensation and slab dynamics Abgarmi, Bizhan; Delph, Jonathan R.; Özacar, Atilla Arda; Beck, Susan L.; Zandt, George; Sandvol, Eric; TÜRKELLİ, NİYAZİ; Biryol, C. Berk (Geological Society of America, 2017-11-01) The central Anatolian plateau in Turkey is a region with a long history of subduction, continental collision, accretion of continental fragments, and slab tearing and/or breakoff and tectonic escape. Central Anatolia is currently characterized as a nascent plateau with widespread Neogene volcanism and predominantly transtensional deformation. To elucidate the present-day crustal and upper mantle structure of this region, teleseismic receiver functions were calculated from 500 seismic events recorded on 92 t...
Structure and Dynamics of the Eastern Mediterranean Upper Mantle Results from Shear wave Splitting and Seismic Tomography Biryol, C. Berk; Beck, Susan L.; Zandt, George; Özacar, Atilla Arda (2013-12-09) The tectonics of the Mediterranean region is characterized by an intricate configuration of arcuate subduction zones and mountain belts. The evolution and the geodynamics of these zones are controlled by closure of Tethys Ocean and the convergence of the Eurasian and the African plates. The interplay between convergence-related compression and slab rollback related extension throughout the convergence zone is further complicated by processes such as termination of subduction, and tearing and detachment of s...
Structure and recent evolution of the Hazar Basin: a strike-slip basin on the East Anatolian Fault, Eastern Turkey Moreno, D. Garcia; Hubert-Ferrari, Aurelia; Moernaut, Jasper; Fraser, J. G.; Boes, Xavier; Van Daele, Maarten; Avşar, Ulaş; Cagatay, N.; De Batıst, Marc (Wiley, 2011-04-01) The Hazar Basin is a 25 km-long, 7 km-wide and 216 m-deep depression located on the central section of the East Anatolian Fault zone (eastern Turkey) and predominantly overlain by Lake Hazar. This basin has been described previously as a pull-apart basin because of its rhombic shape and an apparent fault step-over between the main fault traces situated at the southwestern and northeastern ends of the lake. However, detailed structural investigation beneath Lake Hazar has not been undertaken previously to ve...
Evolution of mafic lavas in Central Anatolia: Mantle source domains Furman, Tanya; Hanan, Barry B.; Sjoblom, Megan Pickard; Kürkcüoğlu, Biltan ; Sayıt, Kaan; Şen, Erdal; Sen, Pinar Alici; Yurur, Tekin (2021-12-01) We present new Sr-Nd-Pb-Hf isotopic data on mafic lavas from the Sivas, Develidag, Erciyes, and Erkilet volcanic complexes in central Turkey and Tenchirek in eastern Turkey to evaluate the mantle sources for volcanism in the context of the geodynamic evolution of the Anatolian microplate. Early Miocene through Quaternary volcanism in Western Anatolia and latest Miocene through Quaternary activity in Central Anatolia were dominated by contributions from two distinct source regions: heterogeneous metasomatize...
Structure and geochemistry of an Alaskan-type ultramafic-mafic complex in the Eastern Pontides, NE Turkey Eyuboglu, Yener; Dilek, Yildirim; Bozkurt, Erdin; Bektas, Osman; Rojay, Fuat Bora; ŞEN, CÜNEYT (2010-07-01) The Karayasmak ultramafic-mafic association (KUMA) in NE Turkey represents an Alaskan-type, pre-Liassic intrusion in the Pulur metamorphic massif and is one of many such intrusive complexes that were emplaced into the continental basement of the Eastern Pontides belt during the pre-Liassic. Its main lithological units include plagioclase peridotite, melagabbronorite, banded gabbro and anorthosite (Phase-I), gabbro-pegmatite dikes (Phase-II), unmetamorphosed banded gabbro (Phase-III), cumulate olivine gabbro...
