This research was conducted within the frame- work of a multi-disciplinary bi-lateral project sup- ported by the Turkish Scientific and Technological Research Council (TUBITAK) and the Research Institute for Humanity and Nature-Japan (RIHN). A total of 8 subgroups conducted their research independently but in coordination of the ”Impact of Climate Change on Agricultural Production in Arid Areas” ICCAP. For several reasons, the Sey- han River Basin was selected as the pilot research area for the project. The water resources of the basin were studied by the International Research Center For Karst Water Resources (UKAM) of the Hacettepe University (Ankara) in cooperation with the DSI, University of Cukurova in Adana and Mustafa Kemal University in Antakya. The Seyhan River Basin, located at a semi-arid part of Turkey-having significant water and land resources potential- was selected as a pilot study area, to inspect the vulnerable components of wa- ter resources (surface water and groundwater) sys- tems, and define and quantify their vulnerabil- ity to climate change. The Seyhan River Basin (SRB), one of the major water resources basins in Turkey is located in the Eastern Mediterranean Figure 1.1 Geographical location and division of geographical region of Turkey (Figure 1.1).

From Bloodless Revolution to Bloody Counterrevolution: The Adana Massacres of 1909 1 Bedross Der Matossian University of Nebraska–Lincoln Abstract The historiography of the Adana Massacres of 1909 is represented by two diverging views. While some Turkish scholars deny the involvement of the local government officials in the massacres by putting all of the blame on the Armenians who revolted as part of a conspiracy to establish a kingdom in Cilicia, some Armenian scholars, whose work is overshadowed by the Armenian genocide, accuse the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP) of acting behind the scenes to destroy the Armenian economic infrastructure in Adana in order to curb any future political and economic development in the area.

With this study, forest resources and their impacts on forest villagers located in Mediterranean Region were investigated. To this end, opinion of local people, forestry staff and other stakeholders who have interest in forest resource management have been collected by using a participatory method. At the end of the survey sample scenarios for sustainable forestry practices have been formulated for the Region. In addition, attention of local authorities, ministries and related institutions have been drawn in order to build partnership and promote dialogue among them.

  • Tectonic Controls on Stratigraphic Evolution of the Adana Basin, Turkey
    Journal of the Geological Society, London, Vol. 152, 1995, pp. 873-882, 13 figs., 2 tables. Printed in Northern Ireland Tectonic controls on stratigraphic evolution of the Adana Basin, Turkey G.D. WILLIAMS’, U CANUNLUGENC’, G. KELLING’ & C. DEMIRKOL2 ’Geology Department, Keele University, Keele, Staffordshire, ST.5 5BG, UK 2 Geology Department, Cukurova University, 01330 Adana, Turkey Abstraet: The Neogene Adana Basin of SE Turkey was initiated after thrust emplacement of the Tauride Belt to the north of the basin. Seismic reflection profiles across the southern part of the Adana Basin provide information on structural and stratigraphic evolution of the basin. Based on seismiccharacter and theidentification ofunconformities, three megasequences and two mega sequence boundaries are identified. Thefirst megasequence is partly coincident with an early Miocene rifting event and it comprises reefs that have grown on fault footwall crests with fore and back-reef sediments in intervening lows. Subsequent rapid flexurally induced subsidence generated an under- filled basin whichwas then passivelyfilled by turbiditicsediments (megasequence 2) showing aggradational character on seismic profiles. Further extensional faulting and coupled sinistral wrench faulting took place after the deposition of megasequence 2. Erosional truncation of its upper part is followed by the deposition of continental and shallow marine sediments of megasequence 3 which shows localized progradational sequences characteristic of shallow water deposition. Further minor extensional faulting took place after the deposition of megasequence 3. Keywords: Adana Turkey, structural geology, stratigraphy. The structuralevolution of SE Turkey has been described in sediments represent seismic ‘basement’ with little resolvable terms of the interaction of several major wrench faults in the stratigraphy beneath this level.
