    Industrial History and Heritage of the Karaburun Mercury Mining District, Türkiye
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2025) Yılmazer, Aslıhan; Gönülal, Yasemin Özcan; Yüceer, Hülya
    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.

    Challenges Faced by Closed Basins From the Perspective of Water Resources: Case Studies From Türkiye
    (Springer Nature, 2025) Kircicek, Nilufer Tirol; Gungor, Esra Bilgic; Baba, Alper
    Closed basins form important hydrological systems that provide a variety of benefits to both the environment and humans. This chapter examines the current status of closed basins in Turkiye and analyzes the natural and anthropogenic environmental stressors affecting these regions. Two distinct case studies are covered in this chapter: the Konya Closed Basin (KCB) and the Karakuyu region. Konya Closed Basin has experienced severe drought and sinkhole issues as a result of misapplications and excessive water consumption. The severity and frequency of water-related problems are increasing day by day due to the impact of climate change in the region. Agricultural activity and irrigation needs are high in the Karakuyu region, which is considered a second case study and is a small part of the Kucuk Menderes River Basin. It is hoped that with improved management practices, Karakuyu will not experience the condition of KCB in the future. The final section outlines the recommended practices and precautionary measures for addressing issues associated with closed basins.

    A Review of the Geothermal System Evolution and Distribution in the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex (türkiye)
    (TUBITAK, 2023) Şener, M.F.; Öztürk, M.Z.; Baba, A.
    Türkiye is located in the Mediterranean sector of the Alpine–Himalayan tectonic belt and is among the foremost seven countries in the world having an abundance of geothermal resources. The Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex (CACC) is one of the most important geothermal regions in Türkiye. This study aims to evaluate the geothermal system of CACC using the geological, structural, and hydrogeochemical properties that were obtained from previous studies. The present study investigated and evaluated the hydrogeochemical and isotopic properties of 762 water samples belonging to 45 different localities from 41 scientific studies. The result shows that CACC has different heat sources and different hydrogeochemical processes. Major element chemistry of the water reveals that the geothermal fluids are mostly of the Ca-Mg-HCO3, Na-Cl-HCO3, and Ca-Cl water types. Silica geothermometers suggest that the reservoir temperature ranges from 48 to 180 °C. Based on the δ18O-δD relationship, water samples have a high-altitude meteoric origin. Stable isotopic data indicate that the geothermal fluids are formed by local recharge and deep circulation of meteoric waters. © TÜBİTAK.
