Understanding the dynamic evolution of orogenic belts and intra-continental basins depend on field-based (tectono-) stratigraphic observations paired with geochronologic data such as Ar-40/Ar-39 analyses. Independent dating of tectono-stratigraphic units is a crucial tool to place them in a broader framework. In this study, we focus on the geodynamic development of western Anatolia, with an emphasis on the timing and progression of volcanism along the Izmir-Balikesir Transfer Zone (IBM. We present 36 new Ar-40/Ar-39 ages of both volcanic complexes/domes and volcanic rocks coevally emplaced within Miocene sediments from western Anatolian extensional basins. In combination with existing ages from the literature and paleontological records from Miocene basin in-fills, we build an improved and integrated stratigraphic framework for the region. Our results show a remarkable break in volcanism from this area during the Langhian (15.97-13.82 Ma), encompassing a major unconformity in the IBTZ, and a pulse in the exhumation of metamorphic core complexes in western Anatolia. Hence we attribute this magmatic pause to the tectonic reorganization and change in the partitioning of extensional deformation between Cycladic and Menderes core complexes, facilitated by the acceleration of roll-back of African oceanic lithosphere below western Anatolia.

Time domain Gauss-Newton seismic waveform inversion in elastic media Sheen, Dong-Hoon; Tuncay, Kağan; Baag, Chang-Eob; Ortoleva, Peter J. (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2006-12-01) We present a seismic waveform inversion methodology based on the Gauss-Newton method from pre-stack seismic data. The inversion employs a staggered-grid finite difference solution of the 2-D elastic wave equation in the time domain, allowing accurate simulation of all possible waves in elastic media. The partial derivatives for the Gauss-Newton method are obtained from the differential equation of the wave equation in terms of model parameters. The resulting wave equation and virtual sources from the recipr...
Relationships between Felt Intensity and Recorded Ground-Motion Parameters for Turkey Bilal, Mustafa; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül (Seismological Society of America (SSA), 2014-02-01) In this paper, empirical relationships between modified Mercalli intensity (MMI) and recorded peak ground-motion parameters are developed for Turkey. Strong ground motion data from moderate-to-large earthquakes are employed along with the corresponding MMI information inferred from isoseismal maps and earthquake damage reports. Linear least-squares regression technique is used to derive the following simple relationships between MMI and peak ground acceleration (PGA), peak ground velocity (PGV), and pseudos...
Dynamic harmonic regression modeling for monthly mean sea levels at tide gauges within the Arabian Gulf Ayhan, Mehmet Emin (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-04-04) Time series with strong periodicity and non-stationary character in terms ofmagnitude and frequency which are changing over measurement period can be decomposed into time-varying trend, seasonal and cyclical components by dynamic harmonic regression (DHR) modeling in the state-space framework. The time-variable parameters of the components are first associated with a generalized random walk process, and then, state parameters are estimated by the recursive Kalman filtering and fixed interval smoothing algor...
Ground Motion Characterization for Vertical Ground Motions in Turkey—Part 2: Vertical Ground Motion Models and the Final Logic Tree Gülerce, Zeynep; SANDIKKAYA, MUSTAFA ABDULLAH (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-05-01) The main objectives of this study are: (1) to choose the vertical ground motion models (GMMs) that are consistent with the magnitude, distance, depth, and site amplification scaling of the updated Turkish ground motion database, and (2) to combine the vertical GMMs with the V/H ratio models selected in the accompanying paper (Alipour et al. in Pure Appl Geophys 1-22, 2019) to provide the ground motion characterization logic tree for the vertical ground motion component in Turkey. Four global vertical GMMs [...
Sea level variability at Antalya and Mentes tide gauges in Turkey: atmospheric, steric and land motion contributions Simav, Mehmet; Yildiz, Hasan; Turkezer, Ali; Lenk, Onur; Ozsoy, Emin (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2012-01-01) Sea level trends and interannual variability at Antalya and Mentes tide gauges are investigated during the 1985-2001 period, quantifying the roles of atmospheric, steric and local land motion contributions. Tide gauge sea level measurements, temperature/salinity climatologies and GPS data are used in the analyses and the results are compared with the output of a barotropic model forced by atmospheric pressure and wind. The overall sea level trends at two tide gauges collocated with GPS are in the range of 5...
