Özet

Sigacik Gulf is located in the southern part of the Karaburun Peninsula in the Aegean Region. This region is restricted by two important ridges; Karaburun and Seferihisar Ridges. In order to determine the geothermal and marine hot springs, marine shallow seismic and magnetic surveys were applied in 2011. Approximately 250 km seismic reflection data were collected by Dokuz Eylul-1 vessel. As preliminary results of seismic and magnetic surveys, authors suggest that Sigacik Gulf may have geothermal potential or hot water springs on the sea-floor. Determined negative gravity anomalies should be investigated with multidisciplinary surveys (CTD, marine-chemistry, side scan sonar, etc.). (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
