Morphologic Features of Kapıdağ Peninsula and its Coasts (NW-Turkey) using by Remote Sensing and DTM
Although it is an inland sea, the Sea of Marmara and its surroundings have rather complex morphology due to
the active tectonics of the North Anatolian Fault (NAF) zone in this region. The Kapıdağ Peninsula which is located at its southern coasts also represents a complex morphology. Macro morphologic units of Kapıdağ Peninsula are N-S trending deep valley systems, mountain areas and Belkıs isthmus. The most coastal area of
peninsula has terraces, coastal plains and alluvial valley floors. These unique morphologic features can explain some parameters of active tectonics of the Sea of Marmara region. In order to investigate these geomorphologic features of the Kapıdağ peninsula in detail, some land observations, satellite data, Digital
Terrain Models (DTMs which have been evaluated from topographic maps with a vertical precision of ±3m and cell size of 8m), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), traditional methods and some integrated techniques such as image processing were used
