Ar-40/Ar-39 dating of ignimbrites and plinian air-fall layers from Cappadocia, Central Turkey: Implications to chronostratigraphic and Eastern Mediterranean palaeoenvironmental record
Lepetit, Petra; Viereck, Lothar; Piper, John D. A.; Sudo, Masafumi; Gurel, Ali; Copuroglu, Ibrahim; Gruber, Manuela; Mayer, Bernhard; Koch, Michael; Tatar, Orhan; Gursoy, Halil (ELSEVIER GMBH, 2014)Magmatism forming the Central Anatolian Volcanic Province of Cappadocia, central Turkey, records the last phase of Neotethyan subduction after similar to 11 Ma. Thirteen large calc-alkaline ignimbrite sheets form marker ... -
The efficacy of travertine as a palaeoenvironmental indicator: palaeomagnetic study of neotectonic examples from Denizli, Turkey
Mesci, Bekir Levent; Tatar, Orhan; Piper, John D. A.; Gursoy, Halil; Altunel, Erhan; Crowley, Stephen (SCIENTIFIC TECHNICAL RESEARCH COUNCIL TURKEY-TUBITAK, 2013)This study has aimed to evaluate whether a discernible environmental signature is recorded in tectonic travertine by applying palaeomagnetic study to examples from the Denizli region in western Turkey. Palaeomagnetic ... -
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 ... -
Palaeomagnetic and rock magnetic properties of travertine: Its potential as a recorder of geomagnetic palaeosecular variation, environmental change and earthquake activity in the Sicak Cermik geothermal field, Turkey
Piper, John D. A.; Mesci, Levent B.; Gursoy, Halil; Tatar, Orhan; Davies, Ceri J. (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2007)Travertine, the product of incremental growth of inorganic carbonate, is potentially a high-resolution recorder of geomagnetic palaeosecular variation (PSV) when it incorporates small amounts of ferromagnetic material. It ... -
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 ...
