One of the factors affecting physical and mechanical properties of rocks is temperature. This effect, which is called thermal effect, manifests itself in the applications of field of ...

Following the earthquakes, landslides, which correspond serious obstacle to sustainable development with the negative consequences, are the second destructive type of disaster causing the highest loss of lives and properties ...

The ostracod fauna of the shallow marine Orhaniye Formation, that was deposited during the Eocene period in the Tertiary Kazan Basin of Ankara, is determined from the 119 samples gathered from 8 measured stratigraphic ...

In Turkey, damages and losses caused by the landslides are the second destructivenatuıral hazard following the earthquakes. Western Black Sea region is one of theregions in Turkey, where these losses and damages frequently ...

The study was carried out on the İncirli Formation (Alcı Basin) that crops out along a NE-SW trending direction between Alcı and Aşağı Yurtçu districts, located 40 km southwest of Ankara. The trangressive İncirli Formation ...

The existence of continually renewed lacustrine environments in the region represented by a continuous volcanic sequence together with lacustrine and fluvial sediments and mainly ignimbrite deposits is known in the Middle ...

The point load strength index is a widely used index for classifying rocks according to their strengths and estimating the uniaxial compressive strength. This index is determined by the point load test on cylindrical core ...

MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) is an instrument operating on the TERRA and AQUA satellite platforms. It is monitoring land, ocean and atmospheric events on Earth surface with 36 spectral bands. Two ...

Considering the dramatic results as life losses and economic damages, landslides are the second most important type of natural hazards in Turkey following the earthquakes. The Western Black Sea region is well known with ...

It is known that there are a quite limited number of researchs on volcanic soils, which are a transition form between soft rocks and soils, and their mechanical behaviours are different than those of other soils. The ground ...
