about me Hello,
my name is Serhat KÖKSAL. I am a geologist. I was born in Ankara, TURKEY in
1970. I'm working in the Radiogenic Isotope Laboratory of the
Central Laboratory of Middle East Technical University (METU)-Ankara/TURKEY.
Zircon is a subject of my Ph.D. thesis entitled as the
"Zircon Typology and Chemistry of the Granitoids from Central Anatolia,
Turkey" which was conducted under supervision of Prof. Dr. M. Cemal Göncüoglu. My
wife Dr. Fatma Toksoy-Köksal studying on mineral
chemistry and ophiolite petrogenesis is working at METU, also. |

University:
Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey, February 1998 - 2005 Department:
Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences, Department of
Geological Engineering – Ph.D. Program of Mineralogy and Petrography Thesis
Subject: Zircon
Typology and Chemistry of the Granitoids from Central Anatolia, Turkey. The origin and
petrogenesis of selected rocks from the Central Anatolian Granitoids
units of the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex in Turkey was
reconstructed by using zircon typology method combined with
cathodoluminescence, electron-microprobe analyses on zircons and
supplementary geological, petrographical, and wr-geochemical studies. MSc. University:
Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey, September 1992 –
January 1996 Department:
Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences, Department of
Geological Engineering – M.Sc. Program of Mineralogy and Petrography Thesis
Subject:
“Geological and Petrological Characteristics of The Idis Dagi Avanos
Area, Nevþehir-Central Anatolia”. Geology, petrography
and petrology included geochemistry of the intrusive and
extrusive igneous rocks in the area from the Central Anatolia. Also
investigation of metamorphic and sedimentary rocks in the area,
considering the tectonic relationships with the igneous rocks. Granitic
and volcanic rock samples were analysed by X-Ray Fluorescense
Spectrometer (ARL 8420) in the Department of Geology of the University
of Keele, UK. Geochemical analyses were evaluated by various
petrological diagrams and classification schemes.
BS. University:
Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey, September 1987 - July
1992 Department:
Bachelor of Science in
Department of Geological Engineering Graduation
Project: "Geology
and Petrography of Hacimahmutusagi Region (Ortakoy-Aksaray)"
involved geological and petrographical studies on the granitic,
metamorphic, and ophiolitic rocks in the area from Central Anatolia/Turkey.
