|
|
Using X-Ray diffraction, XRF, FE-SEM/EDX, HR-TEM, DTA-TG, DSC, AA, Electron Microprobe techniques and LA-ICP-MS data for the genesis of clay deposits, geochemistry and hydrothermal alterations studies are my main interests. |
|
| A) | I have also become involved in Miocene siliceous volcanism and genesis of hydrothermal kaolin deposits in Düvertepe-Şaphane Region, NW Turkey. |
| B) | Hydrothermal alteration of calc-alkaline volcanic rocks and the occurrences of beidellite-montmorillonite and nontronite-montmorillonite solid-solution series. |
| C) | I involved studies on sedimentary kaolin deposits in cyclic coal-bearing lacustrine basin in the Şile region, NE Istanbul. |
| D) | Genesis of hydrothermal bentonite deposits along the North Anatolian Fault zone in northern Çankırı region. |
| E) | Studies on zeolitization processes (clinoptilolite, mordenite, analcime, heulandite) of tuffaceous rocks in cyclic lagoon-lacustrine environments. |
| F) | Stable isotope geochemistry and genesis of hydrothermal stockwork-type magnesite deposits in NW Turkey. |
| G) | Stable isotope geochemistry of halloysite-alunite deposits at Turplu Mine, Balıkesir, Turkey. |
| H) | Genesis of kaolin-alunite deposits in the Düvertepe Kaolin District, Simav Graben, NW Turkey. |
