A revised stratigraphic framework for later Cenozoic sequences in the northeastern Mediterranean region

Geochemical and Pb–Sr–Nd isotopic composition of the ultrapotassic volcanic rocks from the extension-related Çamardı-Ulukışla basin, Niğde Province, Central Anatolia, Turkey

“…Volcanic rocks can reach a thickness of up to 2 km (Clark and Robertson, 2002;Alpaslan et al, 2004 and references therein). These rocks unconformably overlie the Late Cretaceous Alihoca ophiolite which was emplaced onto the Bolkar Carbonate platform (Demirtaşlı et al, 1984;Lytwn and Casey, 1995;Dilek et al, 1999;Yetiş et al, 1995;Fig. 2).…”

The stratigraphic architecture and evolution of the Burdigalian carbonate—siliciclastic sedimentary systems of the Mut Basin, Turkey

“…From middle Eocene to late Oligocene, the whole area was uplifted (Sengör et al, 1985). During this time, episodes of fluvial and lacustrine sedimentation occur in intramontane settings across most of the region (YetiY et al, 1995). A diachronous marine transgression then floods the southern part of Turkey, starting from the south, in the late Oligocene in Cyprus, affecting the Mut, Antalya, and Adana regions during the early Miocene.…”

Precipitation Chemistry as an Indicator of Urban Air Quality in Mersin, North-Eastern Mediterranean Region

“…The ground consists of terrigenous carbonates, derived from limestone, dolomite and calcretes (Yetiş et al 1995), and bordered by the calcareous-karstic Taurus mountains, mostly of Paleozoic and Mesozoic formations, reaching heights of 600-1,500 m on the north (Kapur et al 2000). Climatically, the region is characterized by generally wet and warm winters (November through to February) and hot/dry summers (June through to September).…”
