Geomorphic environmental changes at Uluabat and Manyas lakes (Southern Marmara region, Turkey) from neotectonics to present time

Abstract

Ulubat and Manyas Lakes (Southern Marmara Region, Turkey) and their close surroundings fall into one of the most active tectonic areas of Turkey due to their location on the Norther Anatolia Fault Zone. This location has been a primary reason for important geomorphic environmental changes at this area in Quaternary. This study consists a modelling of geomorphic environmental changes at Uluabat and Manyas Lakes and their close surroundings.
