Abstract

The Dardanelles (Çanakkale Strait)  is a water channel lying along southwest of the Marmara Sea, connecting the Aegean Sea with the Black Sea. Gravity and magnetic data from the Strait of Çanakkale were analyzed one dimentional Fourier Spectral. That analysis along four profiles shows the presence of an anomalous mass at depths of 3.3 km and 3.5 km for the gravity and magnetic data, respectively. The average dept values generated by the method similar to other studies conducted in the region.
