© 2022 International Association for Gondwana ResearchDetrital U-Pb age peaks and εHf(t) and TDM(Hf) of peri-Gondwanan units of S Turkey indicate that they may have been derived from Neoproterozoic igneous suites in the Sinai Peninsula (Egypt), Israel (Elat) and Eastern Desert (Egypt) part of the Nubian Shield. Early Cambrian siliciclastics in the peri-Gondwanan units of S Turkey consist of quartzites in the Menderes Massif of the Tauride-Anatolide Platform (TAP), meta-quartz arenites in the different Alpine tectonic slivers of the TAP-margin and quartz-arenites in the Southeast Anatolian Autochthon Belt (SAAB). Geochemical data indicate that these sediments are likely to be derived from sedimentary recycling processes in oxic depositional basins within a continental back-arc tectonic setting. They were opened after the formation of the Avalonian-Cadomian magmatic arc. In the TAP, the youngest detrital zircon 238U/206Pb ages are range from 530.6 + 6.3/-12.0 Ma to 549.4 ± 10 Ma and from 551.9 + 7.9/-8.4 Ma to 545.8 ± 11 Ma in the SAAB verifying the Early Cambrian maximum depositional ages for the sampled siliciclastic successions. In the TAP, meta-quartz arenites, Neoproterozoic detrital zircons make up about 75% of the total grains, whereas they constitute about 88 % in the SAAB sedimentary rocks. Tonian zircons in the TAP (>40 %) and SAAB (<32 %) reveal key populations to determine their provenance and the paleotectonic positions of the respective terranes. The combination of U-Pb age and Lu-Hf systematics in the detrital zircons of the TAP and SAAB show that age groups at 535 to 562 Ma and 888 to 3370 Ma are mainly represented by the zircons derived from evolved sources with a limited juvenile component. The predominant zircon age groups between 577 and 854 Ma in the TAP and SAAB, on the other hand, were derived from juvenile to evolved sources. Non-parametric Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests suggest that Early Cambrian successions in the TAP (except Kocaosman-Isparta) may have been located in similar paleogeographic locations with coeval successions in the SAAB during the Early Cambrian. U-Pb geochronology and Lu-Hf systematics of the Early Cambrian successions in the TAP and SAAB indicate that the dominant detrital zircon age groups were mainly sourced and transported to continental back-arc fluvial to shallow marine sedimentary environments from igneous rocks of the Nubian Shield and the Saharan Metacraton by a combination of the glaciers, eolian events and multiple-stage erosional and sedimentary recycling processes during the Early Cambrian (ca 520 Ma). The provenance of the Early Cambrian successions in the TAP and SAAB correlate with the provenance areas of the coeval siliciclastic sequences in Israel and Jordan (Arabian Shield), Iraq and Iran and the peri-Gondwanan Carpathians, rather than the Early Cambrian successions in the central and southern European peri-Gondwanan terranes.

A forward model of three-dimensional fracture orientation and characteristics Tuncay, Kağan; Ortoleva, P (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2000-07-10) A new forward modeling approach to simulate the extension/closure and orientation statistics of evolving fracture networks is presented. The model is fully dynamical and couples fracturing to other processes. Thus, fracturing affects hydrology and, in turn, its development is affected by fluid pressure, in this way, highly pressured fluids can enhance their own migration while low-pressured ones may become trapped. Fracturing affects the stress tensor through rock volumetric changes and stress affects fract...
Paired 3D Model Generation with Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks Öngün, Cihan; Temizel, Alptekin (2018-09-14) Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are shown to be successful at generating new and realistic samples including 3D object models. Conditional GAN, a variant of GANs, allows generating samples in given conditions. However, objects generated for each condition are different and it does not allow generation of the same object in different conditions. In this paper, we first adapt conditional GAN, which is originally designed for 2D image generation, to the problem of generating 3D models in different rotat...
A Predictive Ground-Motion Model for Turkey and Its Comparison with Recent Local and Global GMPEs Ertuğrul, Zehra; Guelkan, Polat (2011-01-01) We present a local ground motion prediction equation (GMPE) for estimating the peak ground-motion values that was derived using the recently compiled Turkish strong motion database. The new GMPE is comparable with the recent global GMPEs in terms of model sophistication and quality of underlying database. Using this equation, we explore the inter-event, inter-station ground motion variability of the recent Turkish strong motion database as well as suitability of some local and global GMPEs for regional seis...
A local discontinuous Galerkin level set reinitialization with subcell stabilization on unstructured meshes[Formula presented] Karakuş, Ali; Chalmers, N.; Warburton, T. (2022-10-01) © 2022 Elsevier LtdIn this paper we consider a level set reinitialization technique based on a high-order, local discontinuous Galerkin method on unstructured triangular meshes. A finite volume based subcell stabilization is used to improve the nonlinear stability of the method. Instead of the standard hyperbolic level set reinitialization, the flow of time Eikonal equation is discretized to construct an approximate signed distance function. Using the Eikonal equation removes the regularization parameter in...
Comparison of HK and SC Curvature Descriptions in a Scale-Space for the Purpose of 3D Object Recognition Akagündüz, Erdem; Ulusoy, İlkay (2009-01-01) Most 3D object recognition methods use mean-Gaussian curvatures (HK) [2] or shape index-curvedness (SC) [3] values for classification. Although these two curvature descriptions classify objects into same categories, their mathematical definitions vary. In this study a comparion between the two curvature description is carried out for the purpose of 3D object recognition. Since unlike S; H, K and C values are not invariant of scale and resolution, a method to set them fully invariant to any transforation is ...
