Biography
Şafak Altunkaynak is a Professor in the Department of Geology at Istanbul Technical University (Turkey). She received her PhD from Istanbul Technical University in 1997. She was a visiting scientist at the Open University (UK) in 2003 and the University of Nevada Las Vegas (USA) in 2009. She has worked on the geology and petrology of post-collisional volcanic and plutonic rocks, volcanic–plutonic connections in Turkey, the Aegean region and the Lesser Caucasus (Azerbaijan). Her current research projects involve Central Anatolian volcanism and geothermal potential; Cenozoic crustal evolution and mantle dynamics of post-collisional magmatism in western Anatolia and the Aegean extensional province; thermobarometry and geochronology of magmatic and metamorphic rocks of Çataldağ, Kazdağ and Menderes core complexes; petrology and geodynamics of adakitic magmatism in NW Turkey; and natural radioactive properties of western and central Anatolian plutons. She has published a number of refereed papers on these topics in international journals.
