Abstract

Summary

İzmir Gulf is an actively growing shallow marine basin controlled by active faults trending NE, NW, N–S and E–W in the West Anatolian Extensional Province. The bay is topographically divided into an E–W-trending inner bay and a NW-trending outer bay. In the bathymetric maps was the gulf according to the shoreline into three regions divided. These regions are:the eastern (inner) part, the central part (outer part) and the western part Geologicaly is the the inner bay of İzmir an asymmetric graben structure containing upper cretaceous–Palaeocene basement, an older succession of lower to upper Miocene basin fill, overlain with angular unconformity by a younger Plio–Quaternary basin fill. The older succession contain a thick, folded and coal-bearing continental volcano-sedimentary sequence. The younger succession includes the upper Pliocene–Pleistocene Görece formation and Holocene to recent alluvial fan, fan delta to shallow marine deposits.This shallowe marine deposites will be investigated today systematicaly using modern shallowe marine geophysical instruments. This investigations reveals everyday more features of the sea bottom related bathymetry (topographie,), structures on the sea bottom (geothermal site, naturell gas site, gas seeps site, mud volcanouse site, pockmark-pockmark field site and man made object site (wreck site) in the regions of İzmir bay.
