“…In this sense, understanding the spatial and temporal relationships between E-W and NE-SW trending structures within the context of inception and evolution of large-scale fault systems play an important role in understanding the complex deformational history of the region (Bozkurt & Sözbilir, 2006;Çiftçi & Bozkurt, 2007;Gürboğa, 2014).

“…Uzel et al (2013) Figure 6. (Continued) reported that some of the folds within the Miocene units are related to local compressional forces resulting from the transcurrent tectonics of the İBTZ (Emre & Sözbilir, 2007;Koçyiğit et al, 1999;Sözbilir et al, 2011;Sümer et al, 2013;, while some fault propagation folds related to bending forces.…”

“…This transcurrent tectonics can easily produce folding in the basement rocks and Miocene units during the strike-slip deformation of the İBTZ prior to the Holocene. Uzel et al (2013Uzel et al ( , 2015 argued that the İBTZ recently evolved into a narrow discrete zone, we see today. This may indicate that the KFZ was part of İBTZ as a strike-slip fault zone.…”

Field evidence for normal fault linkage and relay ramp evolution: the Kırkağaç Fault Zone, western Anatolia (Turkey)

Linking of normal faults forms at all scales as a relay ramp during growth stages and represents the most efficient way for faults to lengthen during their progressive formation. Here, I study the linking of normal faulting along the active Kırkağaç Fault Zone within the west Anatolian extensional system to reconstruct fault interaction in time and space using both field-and computer-based data. I find that (i) connecting of the relay zone/ramp occurred with two breaching faults of different generations and that (ii) the propagation was facilitated by the presence of pre-existing structures, inherited from the İzmir-Balıkesir transfer zone. Hence, the linkage cannot be compared directly to a simple fault growth model. Therefore, I propose a combined scenario of both hangingwall and footwall fault propagation mechanisms that explain the present-day geometry of the composite fault line. The computer-based analyses show that the approximate slip rate is 0.38 mm/year during the Quaternary, and a NE-SW-directed extension is mainly responsible for the recent faulting along the Kırkağaç Fault Zone. The proposed structural scenario also highlights the active fault termination and should be considered in future seismic hazard assessments for the region that includes densely populated settlements.

“…The interruption of ductile exhumation in Middle Miocene, in all types of metamorphic rocks (HT as well as HP) whatever their age of onset, as well as the segmentation of the metamorphic units and the deposition of Neogene basins on top of them suggest that the transition between the two modes of extension was not progressive and likely occurred in a rather short delay. The Myrthes-Ikaria fault (MIF) (Philippon et al, 2012) that cut trough the whole Cyclades domain is the offshore extend of the onshore Ismir-Balikeshir transfer zone (IBTZ) (Sozbilir et al, 2010;Ersoy et al, 2012;Uzel et al, 2013) (Fig. 4).…”

In 2013, an airborne laser scan survey was conducted in the territory of the Ionian city of Kolophon near the western coast of modern Turkey as part of an archaeological survey project carried out by the Mimar Sinan University of Istanbul (Turkey) and the University of Vienna (Austria). Several light detection and ranging (LiDAR) studies have been carried out in the temperate climate zones of Europe, but only a few in Mediterranean landscapes. Our study is based on the first LiDAR survey carried out for an archaeological purpose in Turkey and one of the first in the Mediterranean that have been planned, measured and filtered especially for archaeological research questions. The interpretation of LiDAR data combined with ground‐observations proved extremely useful for the detection and documentation of archaeological remains below Mediterranean evergreen vegetation and dense maquis. This article deals with the methodological aspects of interpreting LiDAR data, using the Kolophon data as a case study. We offer a discussion of the strengths and limitations of LiDAR as an archaeological remote sensing method and suggest a best practice model for interpreting LiDAR data in a Mediterranean context. © 2017 The Authors.
