    Industrial History and Heritage of the Karaburun Mercury Mining District, Türkiye

    Mining metallic resources has been important to technological advancement since prehistoric times and has contributed to the progress of civilisation. Mining heritage includes sites and structures related to mining that reveal historical and cultural insights. The remains of structures in the mercury mining district on the Karaburun peninsula of Izmir in Türkiye, which includes the Kalecik, Karareis and Dikencik mines, is one such site. Despite its abandonment and subsequent damage, research has highlighted the importance of the district during the late Ottoman empire and the early years of the Republic as a source of cinnabar, the most common source ore for refining elementary mercury. Comparable mines elsewhere have been transformed into heritage sites and tourist attractions, such as at Monte Amiata in Italy and Idrija in Slovenia. In view of the potential, this study aimed to establish the historical and industrial significance of the Karaburun mercury mining district through detailed research and site survey to form a robust base for a holistic conservation approach. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    Modeling of Seawater Intrusion in a Coastal Aquifer of Karaburun Peninsula, Western Turkey
    (Springer Verlag, 2017) Mansour, Ahmed Y. S.; Baba, Alper; Gündüz, Orhan; Baba, Alper; Elçi, Alper; Murathan, Alim; Sözbilir, Hasan; 03.07. Department of Environmental Engineering; 03.03. Department of Civil Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Seawater intrusion is a major problem to freshwater resources especially in coastal areas where fresh groundwater is surrounded and could be easily influenced by seawater. This study presents the development of a conceptual and numerical model for the coastal aquifer of Karareis region (Karaburun Peninsula) in the western part of Turkey. The study also presents the interpretation and the analysis of the time series data of groundwater levels recorded by data loggers. The SEAWAT model is used in this study to solve the density-dependent flow field and seawater intrusion in the coastal aquifer that is under excessive pumping particularly during summer months. The model was calibrated using the average values of a 1-year dataset and further verified by the average values of another year. Five potential scenarios were analyzed to understand the effects of pumping and climate change on groundwater levels and the extent of seawater intrusion in the next 10 years. The result of the analysis demonstrated high levels of electrical conductivity and chloride along the coastal part of the study area. As a result of the numerical model, seawater intrusion is simulated to move about 420 m toward the land in the next 10 years under “increased pumping” scenario, while a slight change in water level and TDS concentrations was observed in “climate change” scenario. Results also revealed that a reduction in the pumping rate from Karareis wells will be necessary to protect fresh groundwater from contamination by seawater.
