Avsin, N., Vandenberghe, J., van Balen, R., Güneç Kıyak, N. & Öztürk, T. (2019). Tectonic and climatic controls on quaternary fluvial processes and river terrace formation in a mediterranean setting, the goksu river, southern Turkey. Quaternary Research, 91(2), 533-547. doi:10.1017/qua.2018.129Özet
Climate and tectonics effect the fluvial evolution of the Mediterranean Mut basin. The basin contains a river terrace staircase of 16 levels (T16-T1) ranging from 365 to 10m above the current Goksu River in its middle and lower sections. These river terraces records tectonic uplift in the Mut basin. Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating of the fluvial sediments of the youngest terrace (T16) provides a chronology for the assessment of the important impacts of climatic changes. The ages from the youngest river terrace deposits in T16 may be subdivided into two intervals: (1) 239-194.7 ka during the later part of Marine Oxygen Isotope Stage (MIS) 7, implying that the aggradation of T16 started in (the final phase of) this warm period; and (2) 187.9-171 ka during much of MIS 6. Thus, it appears that the Goksu River continued depositing sediment from an interglacial into a glacial time. The differences in climate-driven fluvial evolution between this Mediterranean fluvial system and the classical, well-studied temperate-periglacial river systems in Europe may be the result of different vegetation cover and greater thaw of more intense snowfalls.

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)
McClain, Kevin P.; Yıldırım, Cengiz; Çiner, Tahsin Attila; Sarıkaya, M. Akif; Özcan, Orkan; Görüm, Tolga; Köse, Oğuzhan; Şahin, Sefa; Güneç Kıyak, Nafiye; Öztürk, Tuğba (Elsevier B.V., 2021-03-01)Along 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 ... -
Laboratory flume experiment with a coded structured light system
Akça, Mehmet Devrim; Seybold, Hansjorg (International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, 2012)The topography of inland deltas is influenced chiefly by the water-sediment balance in distributary channels and local evaporation and seepage rates. In a previous study, a reduced complexity model has been applied to ... -
Quaternary uplift of the northern margin of the Central Anatolian Plateau: New OSL dates of fluvial and delta-terrace deposits of the Kizilirmak River, Black Sea coast, Turkey
Berndt, Christopher; Yıldırım, Cengiz; Çiner, Tahsin Attila; Strecker, Manfred R.; Ertunç, Gülgün; Sarıkaya, Mehmet Akif; Özcan, Orkan; Öztürk, Tuğba; Güneç Kıyak, Nafiye (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-12-01)We analysed the interplay between coastal uplift, sea level change in the Black Sea, and incision of the Kizilirmak River in northern Turkey. These processes have created multiple co-genetic fluvial and marine terrace ...
