Active tectonics of the Ortakoy fissure-ridge-type travertines: implications for the Quaternary stress state of the neotectonic structures of the Central Anatolia, Turkey
Mesci, B. Levent (TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2012)Several geothermal fields are located in a NE-SW trend along a structural lineament around the Sivas basin; one of those is the Ortakoy travertines situated 83km south-west of Sivas. There are eight fissure-ridge-type ... -
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 ... -
Determination of neotectonic features of the Karasu Basin (SE Turkey) and their relationship with Quaternary volcanic activity using Landsat ETM plus imagery
Kavak, Kaan Sevki; Tatar, Orhan; Piper, John; Kocbulut, Fikret; Mesci, B. Levent (TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2009)The junction between the East Anatolian and the Dead Sea fault zones lies close to an unstable F: Transform fault (FFF) triple junction where the African, Eurasian and Arabian plates meet in south-eastern Turkey. The Karasu ... -
The evolution of travertine masses in the Sivas area (Central Turkey) and their relationships to active tectonics
Mesci, B. Levent; Gursoy, Halil; Tatar, Orhan (SCIENTIFIC TECHNICAL RESEARCH COUNCIL TURKEY-TUBITAK, 2008)Sicak Cermik, Delikkaya and Sarikaya are important travertine fields with active hot springs located 31 km west of Sivas. Based on their morphology, most of the travertines are classified as fissure-ridge travertines. ... -
Fossil findings from the Sicak Cermik fissure ridge-type travertines and possible hominid tracks, Sivas, Central Turkey
Mesci, B. Levent; Erkman, Ahmet Cem; Gursoy, Halil; Tatar, Orhan (TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2017)Sicak Cermik (Sivas) is an important geothermal and recent travertine formation area in Central Anatolia. The majority of travertines found in the region comprise fissure-ridge type travertines according to morphological ... -
Intracontinental quaternary volcanism in the Niksar pull-apart basin, North Anatolian Fault Zone, Turkey
Tatar, Orhan; Yurtmen, Sema; Temiz, Haluk; Guersoy, Halil; Kocbulut, Fikret; Mesci, B. Levent; Guezou, Jean Claude (SCIENTIFIC TECHNICAL RESEARCH COUNCIL TURKEY-TUBITAK, 2007)The Niksar Basin is sited along the eastern segment of the North Anatolian Fault Zone in Turkey. It is a young sigmoidal pull- apart basin bordered by two non- parallel master faults associated with earthquakes in 1939 and ... -
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 ...
