Geochemistry, Risk Assessment, And Pb Isotopic Evidence For Sources Of Heavy Metals Instream Sediments Around The Ulukışla Basin, Niğde, Southern Turkey, Abdurrahman Lermi̇, Emmanuel Daanoba Sunkari
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Concentrations of selected elements (Al, Fe, Mn, Mo, As, Cd, Cu, Cr, Ni, Co, Pb, Sb, and Zn) and Pb isotope ratios were determined in 53 sediments from Alihoca, Gümüş, Horoz, and Çakıt streams around the south-central Taurides (Ulukışla Basin), Niğde, which is a known mining province in Turkey. Several pollution and risk assessment indices were used to assess possible heavy metal pollution in the stream sediments and the associated potential ecological risks. Concentrations of As, Cd, Cu, Cr, Ni, Co, Pb, Sb, and Zn were elevated in the streams located near ancient mines, active mines, and slag piles in …

Sedimentary Characteristics Of Early Miocene Platform Deposits In The Neogene Adanabasin, Southern Turkey, Ülvi̇ Can Ünlügenç, Ahmet Can Akinci
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
We report a detailed description of the sedimentological characteristics of the Early Miocene platform deposits to contribute towards the understanding of the evolution of the Neogene Adana Basin (southern Anatolia). Several detailed sedimentological logs were measured and interpreted from the platform deposits (Kaplankaya, Karaisalı, and turbiditic Cingöz formations) of the Adana Basin. The depositional evolution of the Adana Basin began during the Early Miocene as a foreland basin. The basin fill is both marine and nonmarine in character, which shows a gradual transition at the northern margin of the basin from one into another. Formation of the basin commenced by …
