The Aksu Basin in southern Turkey is dominantly represented by an alluvial fan and five fan deltas (FDs) developed along the tectonically controlled margins of the basin during the Miocene. Four alternating compressional and tensional tectonic phases have influenced the basin since its formation. Strong tectonic movements caused high sedimentation rates and progradation of large debrisflow and mass-flow dominated FDs. | Reconstructing the sedimentary evolution of the Miocene Aksu Basin based on fan delta development (eastern Mediterranean-Turkey)
