This book is based on the accepted papers for presentation at the 3rd MedGU Annual Meeting, Istanbul 2023. With four parts spanning a large spectrum of geological and geophysical topics, this book presents a series of newest research studies that are nowadays relevant to Middle East, Mediterranean region, and Africa. The book covers various topics from the fields of (1) sedimentology, stratigraphy, paleontology, (2) geochemistry, mineralogy, petrology, volcanology, (3) structural geology, tectonics, geodynamics, petroleum geology, (4) petroleum and energy sciences and engineering, (5) astrogeology, impact craters and meteorites, and (6) climate and sea-level change during the Cenomanian-Turonian Anoxic Event: Synthesis of sedimentological, micropaleontological and geochemical records. The content of these papers provides new scientific knowledge for further understanding on landslides, new stabilization techniques, importance of geophysics for engineering geology investigations as well as new empirical approaches for easily predicting some physical and hydrogeomechanical properties of geomaterials.
About the author
Attila Ciner is a sedimentologist and works on the tectono-sedimentary evolution of basins in Turkey. Attila Ciner uses a process-oriented approach (description of facies) coupled with several laboratory techniques in order to understand the depositional environments and basin evolution. Attila Ciner also works on different quaternary depositional environments (moraines, fluvial terraces, alluvial fans, deltas) and uses cosmogenic nuclides to date related deposits. Attila Cinermostly concentrated on the study of glacial landscapes in order to understand paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental changes since the Last Glacial Maximum.
