: The active tectonics of Anatolia is mostly characterized by its westward motion with respect to Eurasia between the Hellenic subduction in the west and Arabia-Eurasia continental collision in the east. Although most of the deformation is suggested to be confined along Anatolia’s boundary elements, viz. the North and East Anatolian shear zones, recent studies indicate a higher magnitude of internal strain accumulation, especially along the parallel/subparallel strike-slip faults of its central province. We present the first morphochronology-based slip rate estimate for one of these strike-slip structures, the Ovacık Fault, by using cosmogenic 36 Cl dating of offset fluvial deposits. At the Köseler Site (39.3643°N, 39.1688°E), two faulted risers, bounding the alluvial fan with its subplanar surface (NF1/NF1’) and the inset terrace tread (NF1/T2), are offset 19–24 and 15–22 m, respectively. The scattered surface ages and variability of 36 Cl concentrations in depth profiles suggest strong evidence for inheritance in alluvial fan and terrace deposits; thus, we used modelled depth-profile ages for both surfaces. The modelled ages 8–10 ka for NF1 and 6–8 ka for T2 yield slip-rate estimates 2.4 +0.5/–0.4 mm/a and 2.8 +0.7/–0.7 mm/a, respectively, for the upper-tread reconstruction of the NF1/NF1’and the lower-tread reconstruction of the NF1/T2. Our results together with previous slip-rate estimates for other structures show a significant internal deformation for Anatolia, especially along its subparallel strike-slip faults. These secondary faults slice Anatolia into several pieces giving rise to the formation of the Malatya-Erzincan, Cappadocian, and Central Anatolian slices, where the geometry is strongly controlled by the distribution of the Tethyan accretionary complexes.

: This study was carried out on granitic rocks from the Biga Peninsula in order to investigate petrographic, and mineralogical properties in comparison with mechanical strength properties. This study was conducted in four different locations where granitic rocks outcrop from north to south in the Biga Peninsula: Lapseki (Şevketiye granite), Ezine (Kestanbol granite), Bayramiç (Yassıbağ granite), and Edremit (Eybek granite). Field observations and detailed petrographic studies of representative samples indicate that they are quartz monzodiorite (Şevketiye and Yassıbağ), quartz monzonite (Kestanbol), and granodiorite (Eybek) in composition. All the rocks have similar mineral composition, comprising mainly feldspar (plagioclase–alkali feldspar), quartz, mafic minerals (biotite and amphibole), accessory minerals (sphene, zircon, opaque minerals), and secondary minerals (sericite, epidote, chlorite) with differences in the percentage of modal mineralogy, textural details, and weathering. Physical and mechanical properties were also defined in this study, these include water absorption, porosity, uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), tensile strength (TS), Schmidt hardness tests (SHT), Los Angeles test (LA), and frost resistance test (FRT) with sodium sulfate (Na 2 SO 4 ). The results of strength tests show that the Şevketiye granite had the lowest strength values with the highest values for Los Angeles abrasion, frost resistance, water absorption, and porosity. The Eybek granite exhibited the highest value for strength, with the lowest values for Los Angeles abrasion, frost resistance, water absorption, and porosity. A comparison of the petrographic properties of all studied rocks with their respective strengths show that modal mineralogy, degree of alteration, and texture influence the strength of the rocks. Additionally, an increasing propensity for UCS and TS values was found with increasing SHT values. The LA abrasion values and the FRT values were found to increase with decreasing Schmidt hardness test values for the tested samples. The found results of this study could help in the application of these rocks as row material.

: The sinistral East Anatolian Fault Zone (EAFZ) and the dextral North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) are two important strike-slip faults that delimit the boundaries of the Anatolian plate. The north-south directed compressional forces in eastern Türkiye trigger the westward escape of the Anatolian plate along these prominent structures. This study aims to reveal the earthquake history of the Sürgü and Çardak faults, which are important fault segments that splay from the EAFZ. In this context, overall, four paleoseismologic trenches were dug, two trenches on the Sürgü Fault and two trenches on the Çardak Fault. Along the Sürgü Fault, at least two paleoearthquake events have been determined on the trench walls, one event occurred around 3400 BCE and the second event happened between 2085 ± 65 BCE and 790 ± 20 BCE. Moreover, trenching results from the Çardak Fault indicate two surface rupturing paleoearthquakes between 10520 ± 95 BCE and 5780 ± 65 BCE, and between 3215 ± 125 BCE and 825 ± 55 CE, respectively. The focal mechanisms of important instrumental earthquakes around the Sürgü and Çardak faults on the EAFZ show that NNE-SSW trending compressional forces are actively dominating the tectonic setting of the region in the contemporary era. Paleoseismological investigations suggested that the Sürgü and Çardak faults have the potential to produce surface-rupturing earthquakes with an estimated magnitude of 7 or larger.

Abstrac t: This study aims to review the geology of the Andız Peninsula and compare the pre-Neogene Andız succession with the middle part of the Karaburun Peninsula to discuss the nature of the Paleozoic-Mesozoic boundary in the Karaburun Peninsula. The pre-Neogene units of the Andız Peninsula are represented by the Paleozoic Dikendağı, Triassic Güvercinlik, and Jurassic Nohutalan Formations. In this study, the Triassic carbonate rocks in the Andız Peninsula are paleontologically defined for the first time. The Megalodont-bearing Güvercinlik Formation contains a late Norian-Rhaetian characteristic foraminiferal assemblage consisting of Aulotortus gr. sinuosus , A. tenuis , A. friedli , A. impressus , and Triasina hantkeni . The Thaumatoporella- bearing Nohutalan Formation conformably overlies the Güvercinlik Formation and yields a typical Liassic fossil assemblage of Orbitopsella praecursor, Siphovalvulina gibralterensis, S. colomi, Meandrovoluta asiagoensis , and Palaeodasycladus mediterraneus . In the Andız Peninsula, the Mesozoic Güvercinlik and Nohutalan Formations tectonically overlie the Paleozoic Dikendağı Formation along a displacement contact . In the middle Karaburun Peninsula, the Triassic Gerence Formation lies directly on the Dikendağı Formation along a displacement contact. Lateral continuation of this displacement contact is discovered between the Triassic Gerence and Camiboğazı Formations at the top and Paleozoic Dikendağı Formation at the bottom. Further north, the same displacement contact extends into the Paleozoic sequence where the Carboniferous Alandere Formation tectonically overlies the Dikendağı Formation. These observations suggest that the succession in the Karaburun Peninsula ranging from Bashkirian to Cretaceous, is a tectonic slice or a package of slices over the Dikendağı Formation

: The East Anatolian Fault Zone (EAFZ) is a left-lateral transform fault zone located between the Anatolian and Arabian plates. In this study, in order to image the upper crustal structure beneath the eastern segments of EAFZ, 3D seismic velocity variations are computed using local earthquake tomography. The initial catalog for the tomography process consists of 2200 well-located earthquakes recorded at 49 seismic stations around the study region between 2007 and 2020. 1D initial velocity model is constructed based on previous studies in the region. The maximum number of iterations and the velocity perturbations which sustain the linearity of the inversion are determined based on the detailed tests. Reliable zones of the final model are decided based on the Derivative Weighted Sum and Hit Count distribution. The resulting velocity model displays a clear velocity contrast across the surface trace of the EAFZ down to a depth of 12 km. While the Anatolian side of the fault displays higher velocities associated with the ophiolitic units in the region, the south of the fault zone is represented by lower velocities due to sedimentary deposits. The vertical cross-sections of tomographic models show a north dipping fault between Palu and Çelikhan. The complete earthquake catalog is relocated using the 3D velocity model. Together with the obtained velocity model, the relocated hypocenters indicate that the dip of the EAFZ is not uniform, the Palu segment dips to the north with an angle of ~80°, while the Pütürge and Erkenek segments dip to the north with a lower angle of ~60–70°.

: At the south of the Bardsir, Kerman province, Iran, the southeastern part of the Urmia-Dokhtar magmatic arc (UDMA), a large number of gabbroic intrusions are intruded into the Eocene lava flows and pyroclastic rocks with the form of small stocks and dykes. In this paper, geochemical variations, magmatic evolutions, and the origin of these intrusions are investigated. The studied intrusions are characterized by fine-grained margins resulting from rapid cooling and flow differentiation. They display porphyritic texture and include coarse-grained clinopyroxene with diopside compositions (Wo = 46.89, En = 40.78, Fs = 12.32), plagioclase with labradorite composition (An = 54.14), and olivine in an intergranular crystalline groundmass. Their whole-rock chemistry proves that the rocks belong to the calc-alkaline series. The abundances of trace elements and REE, depletion of Nb, Ta, Zr, Ti, and Hf, and enrichment of LILE relative to HFSE indicate that these rocks belong to a subduction zone setting. Geochemical characteristics (Sm/Yb and La/Sm ratios) show that the source rock of these intrusions was the lithospheric mantle with spinel lherzolite composition, which initially underwent partial melting (10% to 20%) events and then was metasomatized by fluids derived from the subducting Neo-Tethys lithosphere.

The new observations we present provide a ~29% increase in the number of velocity determinations, a reduction in average station spacing from ~76 km to ~39 km, and an improvement in velocity uncertainties (for <1 mm/year), from 180 to 578 sites compared to our prior published solution (Reilinger et al., 2006). We use these new constraints to better evaluate the role of faults and blocks in controlling the character of continental deformation within the zone of plate interactions. Simple elastic block models show that internal deformation of the region occurs in large part on mapped, seismically active fault systems, indicating elastic behavior of the seismogenic crust (above ~15 km). For example, eastern central Anatolia, an area of > ~126,000 km 2 , bounded by the North and East Anatolian Faults exhibits internal velocity differences of <0.5 mm/year, indicating strain rates of < ~1.5 nanostrain/year. Geodetically constrained fault slip rates obtained from this simplified approach are comparable to geologic rates, indicating that major faults have controlled the recent geologic evolution of the region (i.e. 5–10 Myr). The pattern of present-day deformation, including increasingly fast motions towards the Hellenic trench, and the roughly simultaneous opening of all the major Mediterranean basins in the early Miocene with the slowing of the Nubia-Eurasia convergence, support conceptual models that foundering and rollback of the subducted Nubian slab beneath the Aegean is the primary mechanism responsible for present-day motion and internal deformation of the Anatolian-Aegean region.
我们对努比亚-阿拉伯-欧亚板块相互作用区域内GNSS观测数据的统一处理得出的现今运动和变形进行了广泛的观察。我们提出的新观测提供了~29%的速度测定数量增加，平均站间距从~76 km减少到~39 km，并且速度不确定性有所改善(在~126,000 km 2中，以北安纳托利亚断层和东安纳托利亚断层为边界，内部速度差<0.5 mm/年，表明应变率< ~1.5纳米应变/年)。这种简化方法得到的受大地测量约束的断层滑动速率与地质速率相当，表明主要断层控制了该地区最近的地质演化(即5-10迈拉)。现今的变形模式，包括越来越快的向希腊海沟移动，以及中新世早期所有主要地中海盆地几乎同时开放，努比亚-欧亚大陆辐合速度减慢，支持了爱琴海下俯冲的努比亚板块的沉没和回滚是造成安纳托利亚-爱琴海地区现今运动和内部变形的主要机制的概念模型。
