GEOPHYSICAL REGIONAL GRAVITY MAPS OF TURKEY AND ITS GENERAL ASSESSMENT
Journal Title: Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration - Year 2016, Vol 153, Issue
Abstract
In this study, the maps generated from the regional gravity data, which had been measured within scope of “Türkiye Rejyonal Gravite Haritaları Projesi” (Regional Gravity Map of Turkey) project were introduced. The topography, Free Air, Bouguer gravity, isostatic residual, isostatic regional, density and crust thickness maps of Turkey in 1/1.500.000 scale were prepared using database which started in 1973 and ended in 2011. The boundaries of the main tectonic members were determined by crust thickness, isostatic residual and Bouguer gravity maps of Turkey. Within this scope, a database that will illuminate the investigation of crustal structure, the development of the scientific database and the solution of geological problems were established.
