TWO EXAMPLES FOR IMAGING BURIED GEOLOGICAL BOUNDARIES: SINKHOLE STRUCTURE AND SEYİT HACI FAULT, KARAPINAR, KONYA

Once anomalies with positive and negative circular closures are assessed together in potential field maps, the ones which have meaningful geometric structure appear as more distinguishable. When the edge detection is applied, the preliminary geological model about the geological structure may or may not be verified. When it is not verified then it is understood that the predicted geological model should be reconsidered and discussed again. In this study, the edge detection was introduced and the success of the method was tested in an artificial data. Following that, its effect on sinkholes was studied applying the method on detailed gravity data collected in Karapınar (Konya) region. At the same time, this method was applied on data related to active Seyit Hacı Fault zone. It was detected that the fault had shown continuity towards SW and these evidences were discussed
