Türkiye Field Camp Photos — BHNSFS Field Camps

Photographs from the annual geology field camp on the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) in western Türkiye. Locations documented include Cayirhan, Elmacik, Taskesti, and Suluklu Göl. Images show students engaged in geological mapping, fault characterization, outcrop work, and field sessions across the active tectonic landscape of western Anatolia.

For full program details, dates, and costs, see the Türkiye Field Camp page. To contribute photos from a recent session, contact nuri.uzunlar@sdsmt.edu.

Photography documents student field activities including fault scarp mapping, structural measurement, rock outcrop analysis, and team fieldwork across the North Anatolian Fault Zone. Localities covered span the Abant Valley region approximately 200 km east of Istanbul, providing access to some of the most active and well-exposed strike-slip fault geology in the world.
