Presence of marine mammal nematodes in Turkey is poorly known. One bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) and four harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) stranded on the Turkish coast were examined at necropsy between 2009 and 2012. Harbour porpoise stranded from Marmara Sea were only infected by three species of lungworms (Metastrongyloidea): Stenurus minor, Halocercus invaginatus and H. tauri...

The Turkish Strait System, which is the only connection between Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea, a challenging region for ocean circulation models due to topographic constraints water mass structure. We present newly developed high resolution unstructured finite element grid model simulate System using realistic atmospheric forcing lateral open boundary conditions. find that jet flowing from Bo...

We perform numerical simulations of dynamic rupture processes along the North Anatolian fault in the Sea of Marmara, which poses a high risk to the nearby city of Istanbul. Several fault geometry models, nucleation points, and initial stress states are tested. The likelihood of each earthquake scenario is evaluated, and a probabilistic assessment of the ground-motion estimation is proposed. The...

Turkey has very rich ecosystems and habitats in which various types of vegetation communities and fauna are found. These properties of Turkey depend on its geographical position, different climatic region, mountainous topographical conditions and climatic changes occurred during the Pleistocene. Several field works have been conducted during the period of 1975-2008. The field observations and a...

Marine mucilage creates significant pollution in seawater due to the high amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus discharges. The water quality Sea Marmara has been damaged this environmental problem with rising sea temperature since 2020. This study aims investigate statistical differences impact marine between 2020 2021, taking into account dissolved oxygen, pH, seawater, ambient temperature. Ten ...

This study presents the first data on benthic marine litter in Marmara Sea, Turkey. To obtain data, bottom trawl surveys were conducted at 34 sites between May 2017 and February 2018. The items sampled sorted following MEDITS’ relevant instructions. 660 pieces of litter, weighing 434.9 kg, sampled. density was found to range 27.5 n/km2 661.2 n/km2, averaging 73.9 obtained items’ weights ranged ...
