Geological Summary

The Egrikuyu Monogenetic Field is located in Central Anatolia S of Hasandag volcano and NE of the Karacadag edifice. As summarized by Uslular et al. (2021), the clustering of vents in this 28 x 38 km area follows a generally NE-SW in the west and mostly N-S to NW-SE in the east. Scoria cone alignments may indicate buried faults. There are a few basaltic maars in the region. Usulular et al. (2021) identified 110 scoria cones (basaltic), one lava dome (andesitic), four maars (basaltic), and three undifferentiated features within this field.

Eruptive History

The Global Volcanism Program is not aware of any Holocene eruptions from Egrikuyu Monogenetic Field. If this volcano has had large eruptions (VEI >= 4) prior to 12,000 years ago, information might be found on the Egrikuyu Monogenetic Field page in the LaMEVE (Large Magnitude Explosive Volcanic Eruptions) database, a part of the Volcano Global Risk Identification and Analysis Project (VOGRIPA).

WOVOdat
   Single Volcano View
   Temporal Evolution of Unrest
   Side by Side Volcanoes

WOVOdat is a database of volcanic unrest; instrumentally and visually recorded changes in seismicity, ground deformation, gas emission, and other parameters from their normal baselines. It is sponsored by the World Organization of Volcano Observatories (WOVO) and presently hosted at the Earth Observatory of Singapore.

GVMID Data on Volcano Monitoring Infrastructure The Global Volcano Monitoring Infrastructure Database GVMID, is aimed at documenting and improving capabilities of volcano monitoring from the ground and space. GVMID should provide a snapshot and baseline view of the techniques and instrumentation that are in place at various volcanoes, which can be use by volcano observatories as reference to setup new monitoring system or improving networks at a specific volcano. These data will allow identification of what monitoring gaps exist, which can be then targeted by remote sensing infrastructure and future instrument deployments.

IRIS seismic stations/networks

Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) Data Services map showing the location of seismic stations from all available networks (permanent or temporary) within a radius of 0.18° (about 20 km at mid-latitudes) from the given location of Egrikuyu Monogenetic Field. Users can customize a variety of filters and options in the left panel. Note that if there are no stations are known the map will default to show the entire world with a "No data matched request" error notice.
