    Pre-eruptive conditions revealed by mega- and pheno-cryst compositions from the Quaternary Erzincan Volcanics, Eastern Turkey: Insights into the magma processes

    Karsli, Orhan

    Quaternary Erzincan Volcanics (QEVs) from the Erzincan Basin consist of mega- and pheno-cryst-bearing high-K calc-alkaline dome lavas. Fourteen nearly phenocrystic domes, with a range of basaltic-andesite, andesite, dacite and rhyolite compositions, were emplaced in the North Anatolian Fault Zone. The emplacement ages yielded by the unspiked K-Ar technique range from 102 to 140 ka. The andesitic domes (each less than 3 km in diameter) contain amphibole megacrysts. Amphibole compositions show a linear variation from ferro-edenite, edenite to pargasite from rhyolite to andesite. Pargasitic amphibole megacrysts scattered into the groundmass are very similar in composition to the microlites. All plagioclases are <An53 mol%. Oscillation types are An32-50 whose variations range from 10 to 16 mol% An and have 10-150 μm in thickness. Pre-eruptive conditions, calculated from mega- and pheno-cryst composition, using pyroxene and two oxide thermometers and the Al-in-hornblende barometer, ranged from 918 to 837 °C and 6.6 to 4.3 kbar for andesitic magma, 824-755 °C and 4.6-4.2 kbar for dacitic magma to 803-692 °C and 4.3-3.9 kbar for rhyolitic magma, which correspond to a depth of >10 km for storage region of the crust. The fO2 values vary from -14.25 to -15.35 log units which are plotted just below nickel-nickel oxide (NNO) buffers. The systematic decrease in thermobarometric results from andesite to rhyolite is consistent with a single magma reservoir moving upward through the crust followed by fractional crystallization. Textural and compositional relationships of mega- and pheno-crystic phases suggest that magma mixing, fluid input to the reservoir and fractional crystallization processes, with a small amount crustal contamination play key role in evolution of the QEVs.

    Energy and sustainable development. Part II: Environmental impacts of energy use

    Kaygusuz, Kamil; Kaygusuz, Abdullah

    As a consequence of the fast-growing energy requirements and the increasing use of low-grade domestic fuels, air pollution has increased considerably in recent years in Turkey. Since the energy demand is projected to continue to increase rapidly in the future also, energy-supply strategies are required to control air-pollutant emissions in a cost-efficient way, taking into account the legal emission-control regulations that have been enforced. This article extensively concentrates on energy and environmental impacts in Turkey only. Energy utilization and its major environmental impacts are discussed from the standpoint of sustainable development, including anticipated patterns of future energy use and subsequent environmental issues. Several aspects relating to energy utilization, renewable energy, energy efficiency, environment, and sustainable development are examined from both current and future perspectives in the country. In this study, air-pollutant emissions due to power generation and their harmful effects on the environment are also estimated.

    Magma interaction recorded in plagioclase zoning in granitoid systems, Zigana Granitoid, eastern Pontides, Turkey

    Karsli, Orhan; Aydin, Faruk; Sadiklar, M. Burhan

    Plagioclase crystals characterized by compositional zoning are typical of the Zigana Granitoid (ZG), NE Turkey. The zoned crystals, which show textural equilibrium with the assemblage quartz + plagioclase + K-feldspar + hornblende + biotite + pyroxene, + magnetite + ilmenite, exhibit oscillatory zoning. The zoned plagioclase crystals, ranging in size from 3 to 6 mm, are oval and larger than normal lath-shaped crystals. The zoned crystals are divided petrographically into two main types: (i) crystals zones only at their rims, with spongy cores; and (ii) completely zoned ones. Composition of the zoned crystals ranges from An23 (oligoclase) to An70 (labradorite). Plagioclase crystals with oscillatory zoning are governed by strong substitution mechanisms of Ca2+ ⌊ Na+, Al 3+ ⌊ Sl4+ and weak substitution of Fe3+ for Sl4+. The Fe2O3 (t) (wt %) contents of the subject plagioclases increase with increasing An content. The petrographic and compositional changes from rim to rim (oscillatory zoning), and positive correlation between Fe2O3(t) (wt %) and An (mol %) contents of the zoned plagioclases, suggest recurrent mafic magma injection into a felsic magma chamber, and thus magma interaction as a dominant magmatic process during the evolution of the Zigana Granitoid (ZG).

    The morphology and chemistry of K-feldspar megacrysts from Ikizdere Pluton: Evidence for acid and basic magma interactions in granitoid rocks, NE-Turkey

    Karsli, O.; Aydin, F.; Sadiklar, M.B.

    Ikizdere Pluton consists of granite, granodiorite, tonalite, monzonite, quartz monzonite containing pinkish colored K-feldspar megacrysts (KFMs). The crystal sizes of the KFMs range from 1 to 4 cm. The lath-shaped megacrysts are uniformly (i.e., randomly) distributed in the host plutonic rocks and have mafic and felsic inclusions whose crystal sizes are smaller than 1 mm. The crystal inclusions are biotite, slightly annitic in composition with XMg[=Fetot/(Fetot+Mg)]=0.50-0.58, amphibole (magnesio-hornblende, XMg[=Mg/(Mg+Fetot) ]=0.70-0.79), iron-titanium oxide (low titanium magnetit and ilmenite), plagioclase (Ab75-25An65-35) and as minor quartz. The compositions of the KFMs range from Or95Ab5An0 to Or82Ab17An1. BaO contents of the megacrysts increase from core to rim. The mafic and felsic inclusions are compositionally similar those of the host rocks. The chemical and textural features of K-feldspar are typical for megacrysts that grew as phenocrysts in dynamic granitoidic magma systems. The overgrowth of KFMs and mafic magma injections (magma mixing) may be related to temperature, pressure and compositional fluctuations in the magma chamber. Remnant of earlier formed K-feldspar crystals remain in the felsic magma system, while the mafic injection can decompose some earlier precipitated KFMs. The remnant of K-feldspar remaining after mafic injection are overgrown by rapid diffusion of Ba, K and Na elements in liquid phase, during the later stages of crystallization of the host magma.

    Mineralogy and chemistry of biotites from Eastern Pontide granitoid rocks, NE-Turkey: Some petrological implications for granitoid magmas

    Aydin, F.; Karsli, O.; Sadiklar, M.B.

    The Eocene Zigana Granitoid in the northern zone and the Middle-Upper Eocene Dolek and Saricicek Plutons in the southern zone of the Eastern Pontides (NE-Turkey) consist of different rock series ranging in composition from intermediate to felsic compositions containing from <1% to 9% of biotite. The biotites are Mg-rich (XFe = Fe2+/Fe2+ + Mg) = 0.28 - 0.49) in the southern zone plutons and Mg- to Fe-rich (XFe = Fe2+/Fe2+ + Mg) = 0.33 - 0.78) in the northern zone pluton. They coexist with K-feldspar, plagioclase, quartz, amphibole, pyroxene, low titanium magnetite, minor ilmenite titanite. Biotites have been buffered by the Ni-NiO. The plutons equilibrated under low oxygen fugacities (LogfO2) ranging from -16.01 to -20.23 bars for Dolek and Saricicek, and -16.70 to -17.90 bars for Zigana. EPMA indicate that the composition of biotite is related to the mineral assemblages of Dolek, Saricicek and Zigana biotites as a consequence of chemistry of the magma and the physical conditions during crystallization. The biotite compositions were used to discriminate the tectonic setting of the plutons. The intrusions appear to be related to calc-alkaline to high-K calc-alkaline orogenic suites. Furthermore, Mg(6)-Fetot substitution has played a significant role during the crystallization of the biotites.

    Geothermal energy: Power for a sustainable future

    Kaygusuz, Kamil; Kaygusuz, Abdullah

    This paper discusses the potential and utilization of geothermal energy in Turkey. Geothermal energy for electricity generation has been produced commercially since 1913, and for 4 decades on the scale of hundreds of MW both for electricity generation and direct use. Utilization has increased rapidly during the last 3 decades. In 2000, geothermal resources were identified in over 80 countries, and there are quantified records of geothermal utilization in 58 countries in the world. The worldwide use of geothermal energy amounts to 49 TWh/y of electricity and 53 TWh/y for direct use. On the other hand, Turkey is one of the countries with significant potential in geothermal energy. Resource assessments have been made many times by the Mineral Research and Exploration Directorate (MTA) of Turkey. The main uses of geothermal energy are mostly moderate and low temperature applications such as space heating and domestic hot water supply, greenhouse heating, industrial processes, heat pumps, and electricity generation. The data accumulated since 1962 show that the estimated geothermal power and direct use potential are about 4500 MWe and 31500 MWt, respectively. Present applications have shown that geothermal energy in Turkey and other countries is clean and much cheaper compared to the other fossil and renewable energy sources.

    Comparative study of behavior of reinforced concrete beams strengthened and repaired-strengthened by using V connecting bars and U connecting stirrups

    Öztürk, H.; Ayvaz, Y.

    The purpose of this study is to investigate the repairing and strengthening techniques for reinforced concrete beams and to compare the behaviors of beams strengthened and repaired-strengthened by two different techniques with each other and with the behaviors of monolithic beams. These comparisons are made separately for the load carrying capacity, displacement, ductility, rigidity change, and energy dissipation capacity. The results show that the repairing and strengthening techniques used in this study can be effectively used in the practice.

    Geothermobarometric investigation of the zigana granitoid, eastern pontides, Turkey

    Karsli, Orhan; Aydi, Faruk; Sadiklar, M. Burhan

    In the Pontides, mineralogically similar, calc-alkaline, zoned I-type granitoids were emplaced into a volcanic-arc environment during the Late Cretaceous and Eocene. The granitoids contain an equilibrium assemblage of quartz, plagioclase, K-feldspar, hornblende, biotite, pyroxene, magnetite, and ilmenite. Large hornblende crystals (1-3 mm) are magnesiohornblende. The average magnesium number is 0.74; Si cation contents range between 6.64 and 7.32; and the average Altot is 0.86. The most common substitution in hornblende is pargasitic. The exchange vector is A□ + VIMg + 2IVSi = ANa + VIAl + 2IVAl. The Altot content of magmatic hornblende in granitoid rocks changes linearly with the crystallization pressures of intrusion; pressures, which were evaluated based on Altot in hornblende, have been estimated using the equation P(kbar) = 4.76Altot - 3.01. The crystallization pressures of granitoid rocks range from 2.4 ± 0.4 to 0.6 ± 0.2 kbar. For estimating temperatures, the hornblende-plagioclase thermometer, T = 0.667P - 48.98 + Y/-0.0429 - 0.008314 InK, was used, and yielded temperatures ranging from 684 ± 13 to 642 ± 7°C. The pressures and temperatures of these zoned intrusions are higher in the granitic and tonalitic rocks of the outer zones than in the quartz monzodioritic and monzonitic rocks of the core.

    Growth rates of early Campanian rudists in a siliciclastic-calcareous setting (Pontid MTS., North-Central Turkey)

    Steuber, Thomas; Yilmaz, Cemil; Löser, Hannes

    Rudist communities that developed on the southern slope of the Pontid magmatic arc during the late Cretaceous thrived in a tectonically unstable setting, and in environments that were strongly influenced by siliciclastic sedimentation. Strontium isotope stratigraphy indicates an early Campanian age of the investigated association at Höbek Tepe, near Amasya. Stable isotope analyses of sclerochronological profiles of several shells of the three dominating hippuritid species yielded cyclic variations of δ18O that delineate seasonal variations in palaeotemperature. This allowed for the determination of individual life spans, skeletal growth rates and the reconstruction of the living growth fabric. Annual vertical shell growth of 35-40 mm was maintained by cylindrical morphotypes of Vaccinites ultimus during several successive years, while adult annual shell accretion of conical morphotypes was only 27 to 30 mm. Vertical growth of the co-occurring Yvaniella alpani was considerably slower and rarely exceeded 10mm/year. Differential growth rates of the two most abundant species, and morphological characters of Yvaniella which indicate that skeletal growth capacity was similar to sediment accumulation, allowed for a consistent reconstruction of the original growth fabric. CaCO3 production of the rudist communities amounted to 20 kg x year-1 x m-2 and contributed significantly to the sedimentary budget. Large-scale formation of fine-grained calcareous sediments by bioeroders occurred only in environments of less rapid burial, indicated by associations of slowly-growing geniculate rudist morphotypes and patellate corals. The implications of these results for the distribution of rudists and corals in Cretaceous shallow-marine environments are discussed.
