This 7.4 Mw earthquake claimed more than 20,000 lives around the İzmit area, less than 100 km east of İstanbul. For the night, we will stay in one of the oldest and most well-preserved villages of Türkiye. Safranbolu is a town in the Black Sea region of northern Türkiye, once a stop on the trade route between Europe and the Orient, and now classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its Ottoman architecture includes hundreds of preserved, red-roofed Ottoman houses on cobblestone streets. The next day we will visit several localities related to transpressional deformation along the NAF. Significant points will include rock uplift and incision outcrops related to the Anatolia Plateau uplift. </p> <p> <img src="source/northern-anatolia.jpg" title="The North Anatolian Fault" style="width: 100%; border-radius: 0 0 0 7rem; margin: 10px 0 20px; border: 2px solid #ddd;" > </p> <p> The field trip guidebook will be available for download in early November 2023.

The trip will start in İstanbul, and along the way to Ankara, we will have several occasions to see the surface ruptures related to the 1999 7.4 Mw earthquake that devastated İzmit town and surroundings. On the way to Cappadocia, we will also have the opportunity to visit the Tuz Gölü (Salt Lake) Fault and several other interesting geological formations beautifully exposed in the south of Ankara </p> <p> The development of the Cappadocia landscape dates back to the Late Miocene epoch (circa 10 million years) when volcanoes spread pyroclastic deposits over an area of 20,000 km2. The volcanism continued for millions of years, laying down thick and colourful ignimbrite layers. The Cappadocian landscape's evolution starts with gently sloping plateaus, which are then dissected, usually along cooling fractures, to form mushroom-like structures known locally as "fairy chimneys". Humans used these volcanic formations for several millennia to build cave houses (troglodytes) and even underground cities. Kızılırmak River, the longest fluvial system of Türkiye, also deposited numerous terraces because of the Anatolian Plateau's continuing uplift. </p> <p> Several stops are planned to appreciate the beauty of the landscapes and learn about their uplift, incision, and erosion rates. We also plan to visit the Taurus Mountain Range, only 100 km south of Cappadocia, and see glacial moraines and alluvial fans cut and offset by the Ecemiş Fault Zone. Cosmogenic surface dating of the alluvial fans allows for calculating slip rates and recurrence intervals of the Ecemiş Fault. Dating glacial moraines also gives insight into paleoclimate reconstructions since the Last Glacial Maximum, 20,000 years ago. </p> <p> <img src="source/Cappadocia-ignimbrites.jpg" title="Cappadocia, Anatolian Plateau" style="width: 100%; border-radius: 0 0 0 7rem; margin: 10px 0 20px; border: 2px solid #ddd;" > </p> <p> The field trip guidebook will be available for download in early November 2023.
