Crustal deformation and kinematics of the Eastern Part of the North Anatolian Fault Zone (Turkey) from GPS measurements
Tatar, Orhan; Poyraz, Fatih; Gursoy, Halil; Cakir, Ziyadin; Ergintav, Semih; Akpinar, Zafer; Kocbulut, Fikret; Sezen, Fikret; Turk, Tarik; Hastaoglu, Kemal O.; Polat, Ali; Mesci, B. Levent; Gursoy, Onder; Ayazli, I. Ercument; Cakmak, Rahsan; Belgen, Alpay; Yavasoglu, Hakan (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2012)The North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) is a 1200 km long dextral strike-slip fault zone forming the boundary between the Eurasian and Anatolian plates. It extends from the Gulf of Saros (North Aegean) in the west to the ... -
Geophysical analysis of fault geometry and volcanic activity in the Erzincan Basin, Central Turkey: Complex evolution of a mature pull-apart basin
Akpinar, Zafer; Gursoy, Halil; Tatar, Orhan; Buyuksarac, Aydin; Kocbulut, Fikret; Piper, John D. A. (PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2016)The Erzincan Basin is one of several Neogene sedimentary basins developed by prolonged right-lateral strike-slip along the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ), the intracontinental transform defining the present boundary ... -
New observations on the 1939 Erzincan Earthquake surface rupture on the Kelkit Valley segment of the North Anatolian Fault Zone, Turkey
Gursoy, Halil; Tatar, Orhan; Akpinar, Zafer; Polat, Ali; Mesci, Levent; Tuncer, Dogan (PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2013)The 1939 Erzincan Earthquake (M=7.8), occurred on the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ), was one of the most active strike-slip faults in the world, and created a 360-km-long surface rupture. Traces of this surface rupture ... -
Palaeomagnetic evidence for the neotectonic evolution of the Erzincan Basin, North Anatolian Fault Zone, Turkey
Tatar, Orhan; Akpinar, Zafer; Gursoy, Halil; Piper, John D. A.; Kocbulut, Fikret; Mesci, B. Levent; Polat, Ali; Roberts, Andrew P. (PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2013)Ongoing motion of Anatolia towards the west is caused by convergence of the Arabian and Eurasian plates coupled with suction towards the retreating Hellenic Arc. This regime is controlling the development of neotectonic ... -
Palaeomagnetic study of the Karacadag Volcanic Complex, SE Turkey: Monitoring Neogene anticlockwise rotation of the Arabian Plate
Kocbulut, Fikret; Akpinar, Zafer; Tatar, Orhan; Piper, John D. A.; Roberts, Andrew. P. (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2013)The Karacadak Volcanic Centre in south east Turkey is a major basaltic complex sited at the northern margin of the Arabian Plate and emplaced in several pulses between similar to 11 Ma and Late Quaternary times. We have ... -
Palaeomagnetic study of the Kepezdag and Yamadag volcanic complexes, central Turkey: Neogene tectonic escape and block definition in the central-east Anatolides
Gursoy, H.; Tatar, O.; Piper, J. D. A.; Kocbulut, F.; Akpinar, Zafer; Huang, Baochun; Roberts, A. P.; Mesci, B. L. (PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2011)The Anatolian accretionary collage between Afro-Arabia and Eurasia is currently subject to two tectonic regimes. Ongoing slip of Arabia relative to Africa along the Dead Sea Fault Zone in the east is extruding crustal ...
