    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 Ahmet
    In 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.

    Small molecule sorption and desorption in and out of iota-carrageenan gels
    (Taylor & Francis Group, 2007-08) Ataman, Evren; Pekcan, Mehmet Önder
    Small molecule sorption and desorption in and out of Iota-Carrageenan was studied by using steady-state fluorescence (SSF) technique. Pyranine dissolved in water used as fluorescence probe. Fluorescence emission intensity, I-p from pyranine was monitored for studying sorption and desorption processes at various temperatures. The Fickian model was applied to produce sorption, D-s, early desorption, D-ed, and desorption, D-d, coefficients. Corresponding activation energies were obtained and found to be 20.5 kJ mol(-1), 7.0 kJ mol(-1) and 34.9 kJ mol(-1), respectively. The observed D-ed value is an order of magnitude smaller than the D-s and D-d coefficients. On the other hand, sorption processes were shown to be twice as fast as desorption processes.

    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, Erdinç
    This 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.

    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, Hasan
    Optically 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.

    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, George
    The 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.

    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 Evren
    In 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).

    Monitoring diffusion of reptating polymer chains by a direct energy transfer method: A Monte Carlo simulation
    (Wiley-Blackwell, 2002-07-29) Tüzel, Erkan; Kısacıkoğlu, Kemal Batuhan; Pekcan, Mehmet Önder
    A kinetic Monte Carlo method was used to simulate the diffusion of reptating polymer chains across an interface. A time-resolved fluorescence technique in conjunction with a direct energy transfer method was used to measure the extent of diffusion of dye-labeled reptating polymer chains. The diffusion of donor- and acceptor-labeled polymer chains between adjacent compartments was randomly generated. The fluorescence decay profiles of donor molecules were simulated at several diffusion steps to produce mixing of the polymer chains. Mixing ratios of donor- and acceptor-labeled polymer chains in compartments were measured at various stages (snap-shots) of diffusion. It was observed that for a given molecular weight, the average interpenetration contour length was found to be proportional to the mixing ratio. Monte Carlo analysis showed that the curvilinear diffusion coefficient is inversely proportional to the weight of polymer chains during diffusion.

    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, Nafiye
    Batı 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.

    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 Serdar
    In 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.

    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, Gülen
    The 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.
