Abstract

This study is based on the use of vein calcites and speleothems to improve our understanding of late Quaternary tectonic activity and climatic variability in SW Turkey, and to investigate their effects on CO2 degassing events. To facilitate this, multi-generation carbonate veins and breccia within active faulting zones in Marmaris (Kumlubük and Amos; SW Turkey) and three stalagmites from the Dim Cave (SW Turkey) were studied through thorough petrographical, geochronological (U-series dating), and geochemical (O-C-Sr isotope ratio and trace element concentration) analyses. The findings are presented as a series of four papers.
