[1] Contrary to other examples, like Death Valley, California, and the Sea of Marmara, Turkey, the Dead Sea-type pull-apart basins form within a narrow transform corridor between strike-slip faults that are less than 10 km apart, much smaller than the crustal thickness of 35 km. In this paper we investigate the role of fault zone width versus thickness and rheology on the mechanics of pull-apar...

Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the health performances regions in 2019 Health Statistics Yearbook by using multi-criteria decision making techniques.
 Material and Method: a cross-sectional data used were obtained from Ministry 2019. population consists 12 (Western Anatolia, Western Black Sea, Eastern Marmara, Aegean, Istanbul, Central Mediterranean, Northeastern Southeastern A...

The Poecilimon bosphoricus species group, representing the most diverse lineage of the bushcricket genus Poecilimon, has been studied in the Basin of Marmara Sea. Two new species, P. warchalowskae sp. n. and P. canakkale sp. n., are described morphologically and acoustically in comparison to their related taxa of the P. bosphoricus species group. Song type and morphology of the new species sugg...

Surface sediments collected from 33 stations along the Ambarli Harbor, the Sea of Marmara, were analyzed for petroleum aromatic hydrocarbons by UV-fluorescence. Higher concentrations of total aromatic hydrocarbons were found of all the samples collected during May 2009, with levels ranging 1860 and 72 μg/g eq oil (205 and 7 μg/g chrysene eq.). The spectra indicate dominant pyrolytic origins in ...

[1] We use geodetic studies to quantify several cases of significant asymmetry in interseismic and coseismic effects along large continental strike-slip faults using simple two-dimensional edge dislocation models. We first show that asymmetric elastic loading characterizes the present Main Marmara Fault, a portion of the North Anatolian Fault along the northern margin of the Sea of Marmara. The...

Mucilage, which has surrounded the Marmara Sea and Turkish Straits in particular for last few months, is a gel-like slippery mass of microorganisms that are mostly clumped together cover large areas, consisting proteins, carbohydrates, fatty acids released out body by single-celled organisms under stressful environmental conditions. Although sea area waterway connecting Caspian Mediterranean Se...

Objective of this study was to determine the mineral and heavy metal contents anchovy caught from 3 different regions, namely Black Sea (Sinop-Samsun coast), Marmara (İstanbul coast) Aegean (İzmir coast). Mineral material contamination levels in were determined by inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy (ICP-MS). The average Na, Mg, K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Hg Pb content anchovies Sea, r...
