Yayın A new late holocene eolianite record from Altinkum Beach, North Cyprus(Scientific technical research council Turkey-Tubitak, 2012-06) Erginal, Ahmet Evren; Güneç Kıyak, Nafiye; Ertek, Topçu AhmetIn this study, we investigated the main depositional characteristics and obtained Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) ages of coastal eolianite on the north coast of Cyprus, where this occurrence had not previously been recorded. Based on EDX/SEM and XRD data and field observations, the studied eolianite that crops out between elevations of 1 m and 14 m a.s.l. is made up predominantly of quartz grains, most of which consist of medium- to fine-grained sand. The rock comprises aragonite, calcite and quartz with lesser amounts of bornite and hematite as accessory minerals. OSL ages indicated that the initial deposition of eolianite sands took place at 1.51 +/- 0.21 ka years ago.Yayın A Preliminary note on depositional characteristics and optical luminescence age of a marine terrace, strait of Canakkale, Turkey(Coastal Education & Research Foundation, 2013-01) Avcıoğlu, Mustafa; Erginal, Ahmet Evren; Güneç Kıyak, Nafiye; Kapan Yeşilyurt, Sevinç; Yiğitbaş, ErdinçThis preliminary study investigated the depositional features and optical luminescence age of marine terrace sediments located on the east coast of the Strait of Canakkale, Turkey. With regard to depositional setting, the studied sequence is formed mostly of shallow marine deposits rich in quartz and oysters as well as other accessory minerals and various fossil sea shells. In vertical section, the sequence is characterized by two different stratigraphic units, i.e. a 1.50-m-thick sandy to gravely bottom unit (unit A) and an overlying 2.5-m-thick fossiliferous zone (unit B). On the basis of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) age estimations obtained from six sampling levels from bottom to top, we determined superimposed cycles of deposition during interglacials from 246.47 +/- 25.32 ka (unit A) at MIS 7 to 127.48 +/- 8.91 ka (unit B) at MIS 5.Yayın Optically stimulated luminescence to date coastel dunes and a possible tsunami layer on the Kavak Delta (Saros Gulf, NW Turkey)(Scientific Technical Research Council Turkey-Tubitak, 2009-01-21) Erginal, Ahmet Evren; Güneç Kıyak, Nafiye; Özcan, HasanOptically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating was used to determine the timing of initial dune formation and reconstruct the evolution of coastal dunes that developed on the Kavak Delta, Saros Gulf, Turkey. Along a 500-mlong representative transect, dune sands were extracted from foredune, semistable (grey) dune, stable (dark) dune and dune-swamp boundary defined by a scarp 50?75 cm high. The data obtained showed that dune drift initiated 670 years ago. A pumice layer 15?20-cm-thick interbedded with marine clay and sand showed an OSL age of 340 years coinciding with underlying dune sand. XRF analysis showed that pumices were of similar composition to those erupted by plinian activity of Thera (Santorini) in 1628 BC. On the basis of OSL ages, these deposits, which are widely distributed on the western Anatolian coasts of Turkey, might have presumably transported landward along tide channels on the delta during a tsunami event that occurred in 1672 near Bozcaada and Kos islands according to tsunami history of the Aegean Sea.Yayın The firing temperature of pottery from ancient Mesopotamia, Turkey, using luminescence methods: a case study for different grain-size fractions(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014-10) Polymeris, George S.; Güneç Kıyak, Nafiye; Koul, Dileep K.; Kitis, GeorgeThe assessment of the firing temperature of a prehistoric pottery sample collected from ancient Mesopotamia, Turkey was studied using luminescence techniques. The methods for this estimation involved the observation of the thermal and pre-dose sensitization with various re-firing temperatures for both TL and the OSL signals. In the former case, the 110 degrees C TL peak and the rest of the glow curve were used as proxies in this study. In the framework of a first attempt to investigate the impact of grain-size dependence on the sensitization of the luminescence signals, the aforementioned study was performed with four different pottery grain-size fractions: (i) less than 60m, (ii) 60-90m, (iii) 90-180m and (iv) 180-250m. The results clearly demonstrated the firing temperature mark of approximate to 500 degrees C in for the grain size of 90-180m, whileas in the case of the lower grain-size fractiona third proxy, the ratio of the pre-dosed to the thermal sensitization, was seen to indicate the firing temperature. The remaining two grain-size fractions failed to provide any meaningful results with regard to the firing temperature estimation. The dependence of the TL characteristics on the grain size was explained in the framework of the mixed mineralogy.Yayın Optical stimulated luminescence dating study of eolianite on the Island of Bozcaada, Turkey: Preliminary results(The Coastal Education and Research Foundation, 2010-07) Güneç Kıyak, Nafiye; Erginal, Ahmet EvrenIn the present paper, eolianite exposed on the south coast of the semiarid island of Bozcaada, Turkey, was investigated on the basis of geomorphologic and petrographic data, and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating results. The eolianite is lithic arenite in composition and contains abundant quartz, calcite, and various lithoclasts amalgamated with micritic calcite, sparitic calcite, and meniscus cements. Within the youngest layers standing at 1-2 m above sea level, the rock contains rhizoliths with or without carbonaceous fills. The OSL ages obtained ranged between 24.21 +/- 1.53 ka and 16.18 +/- 1.70 ka, suggesting that eolianite constitutes an example of low stand deposits coinciding with oxygen isotope stage 2 (OIS-2).Yayın Kütahya fay zonu’nun Holosen aktivitesi(TMMOB Jeoloji Mühendisleri Odası, 2012-01) Altınok, Sevgi; Karabacak, Volkan; Yalçıner, Cahit Çağlar; Bilgen, Abdurrahman Nejat; Altunel, Erhan; Güneç Kıyak, NafiyeBatı Anadolu Açılma Bölgesi’nin kuzeydoğu sınırında bulunan Kütahya Havzası BKB-DGD doğrultusunda uzanan bir çöküntü alanıdır ve güney kenarı belirgin bir morfoloji ile Kütahya Fay Zonu tarafından sınırlanmaktadır. Kütahya Fay Zonu boyunca jeolojik, jeomorfolojik ve jeofizik verilerden yararlanılarak yapılan çalışmalar sonucunda bu zonun, kuzey bloğun düştüğü normal fay geometrisine sahip 5 ayrı uzanımdan oluştuğu ve K50-70B doğrultusunda yaklaşık 22 km uzunluğa sahip olduğu ortaya konulmuştur. Paleosismolojik ve arkeosismolojik çalışmalar ise bu uzanım boyunca son 8000 yıl içinde yüzey kırığı oluşturan en az iki depremin meydana geldiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Bu depremlerden ilki M.Ö. 6000’li yıllarda, sonuncusu ise M.Ö. 1800’lü yıllarda Seyitömer Höyüğü’nde hasar oluşturan ve höyüğün terk edilmesine neden olan depremdir. Dolayısıyla, bu çalışmalar Kütahya Havzası’nın güneyini sınırlayan Kütahya Fay Zonu’nun Holosen’de tekrarlanan yıkıcı depremler ürettiğini ve geometrisi gözönünde bulundurulduğunda gelecekte de en az 6.5 büyüklüğünde deprem üretme potansiyeli bulunduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.Yayın Reply to comment on "Analyses of seismic deformation at the Kibyra Roman stadium, southwest Turkey"(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014-07/08) Karabacak, Volkan; Yönlü, Önder; Dökü, Feyzullah Eray; Güneç Kıyak, Nafiye; Altunel, Erhan; Özüdoǧru, Şükrü; Yalçıner, Cahit Çağlar; Akyüz, Hüsnü SerdarIn their comment, Elitez and Yaltirak (2013) criticize our paper (Karabacak et al. 2013) by arguing that it contains misinterpretations and unreliable data for a fault cutting the Roman Stadium in the ancient city of Kibyra. However their comments are not based on strong arguments to disprove our geological and archeological field observations or previous data. Here we present additional data supported by new figures which validate the faulting both in the bedrock and in the stadium floor. We reject their comments and uphold our original viewpoint on the faulting at the Stadium.Yayın On the origin and age of the Ariburnu Beachrock, Gelibolu Peninsula, Turkey(Scientific Technical Research Council Turkey-TUBITAK, 2008-03-13) Erginal, Ahmet Evren; Güneç Kıyak, Nafiye; Bozcu, Mustafa; Ertek, Topçu Ahmet; Güngüneş, Hakan; Sungur, Ali; Türker, GülenThe beachrock formation on the Ariburnu coast situated in the Gelibolu Peninsula has been studied by field observation, thin-section interpretation, physicochemical analyses including ICP-AES and SEM/EDS, and OSL dating. These analyses reveal the presence of different amounts of major (Si, Ca, Mg, K, Fe, Al and Na) and trace elements within the beachrock cement with Si (36.2%) and Ca (32.68%) dominating the overall composition. Beachrocks composed of highly-fractured and friable beds reach a total thickness of 80 cm extending from + 60 cm at the uppermost level down to-1 m at their most seaward extent and grade from conglomerate to lithic arkose in vertical section. The total amount of CaCO(3) ranges between 59.08% and 36% and the cement consists of high-Mg calcite based on EDS analysis. From SEM examination, four main morphologies were identified in cement material: (1) micritic coatings, (2) cryptocrystalline pore-filling cement, (3) meniscus cement and (4) microbial cement and suggest the presence of marine phreatic conditions with the exception of meniscus bridges, which imply that cementation may have been dominated by carbonate-rich meteoric waters at any successive stage of cementation. Five buried beachrock samples under unconsolidated beach sand were sampled for Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dating and show that the minimum and maximum ages of beachrock are 1.42 +/- 0.20 ka and 2.28 +/- 0.28 ka BP, respectively.Yayın Preliminary results towards the equivalence of transformed continuous-wave Optically Stimulated Luminescence (CW-OSL) and linearly-modulated (LM-OSL) signals in quartz(Versita, 2011-09) Kitis, George; Polymeris, George S.; Güneç Kıyak, Nafiye; Pagonis, VasilisThe present paper presents a comparative experimental study of two commonly measured Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) signals in quartz. The experimental study measures both the continuous wave OSL (CW-OSL) and the linearly modulated (LM-OSL) signals from the same quartz sample for a range of stimulation temperatures between 180 and 280A degrees C, while the former is transformed to pseudo LM-OSL (ps LM-OSL). A computerized deconvolution curve analysis of the LM-OSL and ps LM-OSL signals was carried out, and the contributions of several OSL components to the initial OSL signal (0.1 s) were shown to be independent of the stimulation temperature used during the measurement. It was also found that the composite OSL (0.1 s) signal consists mainly of the first two OSL components present in the OSL curves. The equivalence of the ps LM-OSL (transformed CW-OSL) and of LM-OSL measurements was also examined by an appropriate choice of the experimental stimulation times, and of the stimulation power of the blue LEDs used during the measurement.Yayın First note on marine-like cementation of Late Holocene beachrock, Iznik Lake (Turkey)(Versita, 2012-03) Erginal, Ahmet Evren; Güneç Kıyak, Nafiye; Öztürk, Muhammed Zeynel; Yiğitbaş, Erdinç; Bozcu, Mustafa; Avcıoğlu, Mustafa; Öztürk, BeyhanMicro-fabric characteristics and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating results are presented to discuss the controlling agents and timing of beachrock cementation on the fresh-water Iznik Lake shoreline. The beachrocks are made up of grain-supported polygenic conglomerate containing 20.42% carbonate with encrusted grains, basically as micrite coatings, isopachous aragonite rims, cryptocrystalline void fills and meniscus bridges. The optical ages of twelve samples yielded ages that range from 4.226 +/- 0.569 ka on the lowermost beds to 0.706 +/- 0.081 on the uppermost. This is the first report of precipitation of marine-like cements in Iznik Lake. The abundant aragonite-dominated cement is likely indicative of precipitation-prone dry evaporative conditions from the climatic optimum to the last millennia.
