    The electrical resistivity tomography method has been widely used in geophysics for many purposes such as determining geological structures, water movement, saltwater intrusion, and tectonic regime modeling. Karstic springs are important for water basin management since the karst systems are highly complex and vulnerable to exploitation and contamination. An accurate geophysical model of the subsurface is needed to reveal the spring structure. In this study, several karst springs in the Gokova Bay (SW, Turkey) were investigated to create a 3D subsurface model of the nearby karstic cavities utilizing electrical resistivity measurements. For this approach, 2D resistivity profiles were acquired and interpreted. Stratigraphically, colluvium, conglomerate, and dolomitic-limestone units were located in the field. The resistivity values of these formations were determined considering both the literature and field survey. Then, 2D profiles were interpolated to create a 3D resistivity model of the study area. Medium-large sized cavities were identified as well as their locations relative to the springs. The measured resistivities were also correlated with the corresponding geological units. The results were then used to construct a 3D model that aids to reveal the cavity geometry in the subsurface. Additionally, several faults are detected and their effect on the cavities is interpreted.

    SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL ASSESSMENT OF METAL(LOID) CONTAMINATION IN ASARTEPE DAM LAKE (ANKARA, TURKEY) USING POLLUTION INDICES AND MULTIVARIATE STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
    (Parlar Scientific Publications (P S P), 2019) Kurtulus, Bedri; Sagir, Cagdas; Erdem, Gunseli; Tunc, Semih Okan; Canoglu, Mustafa Can; Tunca, Evren
    This study has investigated metal(loid) contamination in Asartepe Dam Lake, which is used for irrigation in Ankara, Turkey. Contamination Factor and Degree of Contamination were applied to evaluate contamination in the lake sediment. The contamination was shown to be moderate according to a modified Degree of Contamination analysis. Chromium was found to be the highest calculated metal on the Geoaccumulation Index, and the lake was found to be moderate-to-strongly contaminated according to the same method. The Pollution Load Index for the lake sediment varied between 3.11 and 3.5. Enrichment Factors suggest a minor anthropogenic origin for metal(loid) pollution; various statistical techniques were implemented. The greatest correlation among water-borne metal(loid)s was shown by analysis to be between iron and titanium. No strong correlation was observed for sediment samples. The results show that the lake water is relatively free of metal(loid)s. However, this is not the case for the lake sediment.
