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 Investigating the thermally transferred optically stimulated luminescence source trap in fired geological quartz (vol 62, pg 60, 2014)(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2014-08) Koul, Dileep K.; Patil, Pravinkumar G.; Oniya, Ebenezer O.; Polymeris, George S.[No abstract available]Yayın Equivalent dose in quartz from young samples using the SAR protocol and the effect of preheat temperature(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2006-09) Güneç Kıyak, Nafiye; Canel, TimurMajor concerns in the dating of samples younger than a few hundred years by the optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) technique are thermal transfer and partial bleaching. Thermal transfer during preheating enhances the OSL signal due to the charge transfer from thermally sensitive, but light-insensitive, traps to optical centres of quartz and results in an overestimate in equivalent dose, especially for very young samples. In this study, the single-aliquot regenerative-dose protocol is used to obtain values of equivalent dose (D-e) from young samples taken from various environments around Istanbul. Within this framework, we aim to investigate the effect of preheat temperature on equivalent dose from 150 to 300 degrees C, the reproducibility of De measurements for young deposits and the contribution from thermal transfer of charge to the equivalent dose estimation. It was observed that the measured dose is influenced significantly by preheat temperature and the increase in the De is clearly due to thermal transfer of charge from deep thermally sensitive traps to OSL trap during preheating of the samples prior to the main OSL measurements.Yayın Quaternary rock uplift rates and their implications for the western flank of the North Anatolian Fault restraining bend; inferences from fluvial terrace ages(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2020-10-01) McClain, Kevin P.; Yıldırım, Cengiz; Ciner, Attila; Şahin, Sefa; Sarıkaya, Mehmet Akif; Özcan, Orkan; Güneç Kıyak, Nafiye; Öztürk, TuğbaIn the western flank of the North Anatolian Fault restraining bend (i.e., Central Pontides), the Filyos River incises through the uplifting Karabük Range, creating the ~1.7-km-deep Filyos River Gorge on the hanging wall of the reverse Karabük Fault. Seven fluvial strath terrace levels are preserved in this gorge. optically stimulated luminescence ages from quartz-rich sediments of five terrace levels reveal an average long-term rock uplift rate of 0.45 ± 0.02 mm yr?1 with an unsteady pattern of uplift during the last 542 ± 24 kyr. Uplift rates of 1.52 ± 0.6 and 0.74 ± 0.3 mm yr?1 occurred before 366 ± 19 kyr, followed by lower rates of ~0.1 and 0.31 mm yr?1 through present. These later uplift rates may reflect relatively slower tectonic rates since ~366 kyr, with closer similarity to regional uplift rates of ~0.3 mm yr?1 yielded from the eastern flank of the Central Pontides. The Karabük Range fluvial terraces are near the North Anatolian Fault, meaning pre- ~366 kyr uplift rates may be a glimpse of the highest Central Pontides Quaternary rock uplift rates on uplifting hanging wall blocks activated by the restraining bend. When we consider offshore seismic reflection data, the focal mechanism solution of the Bartın Earthquake, onshore structural data, and regional tectonic geomorphology, the western flank of the Central Anatolian Plateau's northern margin is propagating northward as a growing orogenic wedge with a positive flower-structure geometry.Yayın River, alluvial fan and landslide interactions in a tributary junction setting: Implications for tectonic controls on Quaternary fluvial landscape development (Central Anatolian Plateau northern margin, Turkey)(Elsevier B.V., 2021-03-01) McClain, Kevin P.; Yıldırım, Cengiz; Çiner, Tahsin Attila; Sarıkaya, M. Akif; Özcan, Orkan; Görüm, Tolga; Köse, Oğuzhan; Şahin, Sefa; Güneç Kıyak, Nafiye; Öztürk, TuğbaAlong the western flank of the northern margin (Central Pontides) of the Central Anatolian Plateau, the humidity from the Black Sea is much higher than the central and eastern flanks and creates a complex relationship between surface and tectonic processes by triggering intense mass wasting activity and aggradation within narrow valleys. We identified three incised fill terrace levels and used Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dating to calculate fluvial sediment ages and cosmogenic 36Cl exposure dating to calculate limestone boulders exposure ages across the terrace surface. Stratigraphical interpretations and OSL ages of the lowest levels revealed that a fluvial fill terrace formed in the main valley at 275.6 ± 12.8 ka and was overlain by a main river-tributary junction alluvial fan that was abandoned at 39.5 ± 3.5 ka. The results collectively show the influence of climate, topography, hillslope processes, and lithology on aggradation-incision patterns of main rivers. Prolonged aggradation can prevent the channel equilibrium required to calculate rock uplift rates while also causing a new base-level and aggradation upstream. This effect can be exacerbated in uplifting mountainous regions with limited depositional areas. Bedrock incision rates based on the fluvial terrace age were between 0.15 and 0.2 mm/a since 39.5 ± 3.5 ka. However, the high aggradation within this segment of the main valley prevented incision of the channel bedrock for long periods, causing a potential underestimation of the rock uplift rate calculation. Our local period of aggradation appears to be related to increased aggradation and decreased bedrock incision rates measured 14 km upstream that were previously assumed to be the result of decreased tectonic uplift rates. This demonstrates the importance of corroborating strath terrace incision rate estimations with ages and incision rates of downstream fill terraces, if present, to check for potential interference with the tectonic signal.Yayın Investigation of beachrock using microanalyses and OSL dating: a case study from Bozcaada island, Turkey(Coastal Education & Research Foundation, 2010-03) Erginal, Ahmet Evren; Güneç Kıyak, Nafiye; Öztürk, BeyhanWe investigated the origin and absolute age of beachrock samples on Bozcaada Island, located on the northern Aegean Sea coast of Turkey, using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating. Various types of cements were identified, such as micritic, meniscus, and biologic cements, revealing that the beachrock could have occurred as a result of the combined effects of marine-phreatic and supratidal cementation conditions. Optical dating results showed that the formation of beachrock ranged in age from 5.41 +/- 0.58 ka BP to 0.33 +/- 0.05 ka BP. However, much of the beachrock body (about 3 m in thickness) is drowned or submerged today, suggesting that submerged beachrocks extending to -5 m date to earlier times than the start of the cementation period discussed herein.
