Özet:

 This study presents a comparative evaluation of two commonly used age-depth modelling approaches Bacon and Clam, applied to sediment cores from diverse depositional environments. Using previously published examples from lacustrine and marine settings, this study assesses how each model performs under variable sedimentation rates, data resolution, and stratigraphic complexity. The results highlight that Bacon is best suited for gradually varying depositional environments with sufficient age control, while Clam is more flexible in handling abrupt sedimentation changes and sparse chronological data. This synthesis emphasizes that model selection should be guided by the stratigraphic context and study objectives to ensure reliable paleoenvironmental or paleoseismological reconstructions.

 Bu çalışma, farklı sedimanter ortamlarda sıkça kullanılan farklı iki yaş-derinlik modelleme yaklaşımı olan Bacon ve Clamin karşılaştırmalı bir değerlendirmesini sunmaktadır. Göl ve denizel ortamlardan daha önce yayımlanmış örnekler kullanılarak, her iki modelin değişken sedimantasyon hızları, veri çözünürlüğü ve stratigrafik karmaşıklıklar altında nasıl performans gösterdiği incelenmiştir. Sonuçlar, Baconın yeterli yaş kontrolüne sahip iken, kademeli olarak değişen sedimanter ortamlarda en iyi şekilde çalıştığını; Clamin ise ani sedimantasyon değişiklikleri olan ortamlarda ve seyrek kronolojik veri içeren durumlarda daha esnek olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bu sentez, güvenilir paleoçevresel veya paleosismolojik konstrüksyonlarda model seçiminin stratigrafik özellikler ve çalışma hedeflerine göre yönlendirilmesi gerektiğini vurgulamaktadır.
