Hydrogeochemical Fingerprints Of A Mixohaline Wetland In The Mediterranean: Güllük Coastal Wetland Systems- Gcws (Muğla, Turkey), Adi̇le Meli̇s Somay Altaş
Hydrogeochemical Fingerprints Of A Mixohaline Wetland In The Mediterranean: Güllük Coastal Wetland Systems- Gcws (Muğla, Turkey), Adi̇le Meli̇s Somay Altaş
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
The Güllük coastal wetland system (GCWS), which is located at the contact point of the Menderes Massif and Lycian Nappe, consists of both brackish karstic [Güllük Lagoon wetland (GLW)] and saline [Boğaziçi-Tuzla (Bargylia) coastal wetland (BTW)] ecosystems in western Turkey, and is under protection as a national wetland of importance. This area is important for its unique wetland features, aquaculture, tourism, agriculture, Bodrum airport, and Güllük port facilities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the GLW and BTW, both hydrogeologically and hydrogeochemically, for the first time together. The mixohaline GCWS is recharged from precipitation, streams, and brackish karstic …
High Heat Generating Granites Of Kestanbol: Future Enhanced Geothermal System (Egs)Province In Western Anatolia, Dornadula Chandrasekharam, Alper Baba
High Heat Generating Granites Of Kestanbol: Future Enhanced Geothermal System (Egs)Province In Western Anatolia, Dornadula Chandrasekharam, Alper Baba
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Although the western Anatolian region is a foci for hydrothermal systems, this region has several high heat-generating granitic intrusive bodies that qualify to be candidates for enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). Considering the future energy requirement, carbon dioxide emissions reduction strategies, food, and water security issues, these granites appear to be the future clean energy source for the country. One such granite intrusive is located in the Kestanbol area in the western Anatolian region. The radioactive heat generation of this 28 Ma old granite varies from 5.25 to 10.38 μW/m3 with a heat flow of 92.47 to 128.61 mW/m 2. These …

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
In this study seasonal changes in the geochemical and stable isotope compositions of Hisaralan thermal waters in Simav Graben, western Turkey, were investigated with regards to a variety of mineral-water interactions and mixing processes. The Hisaralan and Emendere geothermal waters, with temperatures of up to 99 °C, were mostly of Na-HCO3 and Ca-HCO3 types. The δ18O and δ2H values of the Hisaralan waters ranged from -9.32‰ to -8.73‰ and -65.02‰ to -61.10‰, with maximum seasonal differences of 0.3‰ and 1.8‰. The Emendere waters were represented by a more positive range of δ2H values (-54.95‰ to -54.61‰), while their δ18O compositions …

Quantifying The Bathymetric Stripping Gravity Corrections Of Global Seawater And Majorlakes Over Turkey, Mehmet Si̇mav, Hasan Yildiz
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Gravity data inversion or interpretation requires the removal of the gravitational effects of the a priori known geologic and/or morphologic features within the Earth?s system to model and reveal the remaining signals of the unknown anomalous subsurface density distributions. The Bouguer gravity anomalies reduced by the normal gravitational field of the Earth and the gravitational attraction of the topographic masses above the sea level are frequently used in geophysics for this purpose. However, density contrast effects of the other major known elements, such as offshore seawater, inland water bodies, glaciers, and/or sediments can be removed from the Bouguer gravity anomalies, …
