In this study; on 2 February, 2015, a thunderstorm that took place at Istanbul Ataturk International Airport (ICAO: LTBA) was examined and the importance of “nowcasting” emphasized. This study performed in order to investigate earlier predictability phenomenon. Within scope research, radar products lightning observations were used as nowcasting tools. Also, sea surface temperatures measured by ...

Abstract Based on morphobathymetric and seismic reflection data, we studied a large landslide body from the eastern Sea of Marmara (NW Turkey), along main strand North Anatolian Fault, one most seismically active geological structures Earth. Due to its location dimensions, sliding may cause tsunamis in case failure possibly induced by an earthquake. This could affect heavily coasts densely popu...

Remote sensing data, especially satellite observations make available large databases related to marine biosphere. This tremendous amount of the data causes a difficulty acquisition, processing and evaluation processes. Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform possible overcome this by its state art structure. Thus, GEE was included study process evaluate chlorophyll-a for sea Marmara. The Sea Marmar...

Golden Horn is an estuary in Istanbul. It has connection with Marmara Sea directly and with Black Sea via Bosphorus, and was polluted by different kinds of industrial plants up to 1999. In addition to this, municipal wastewater of around one million people has been discharged to here. Greater part of the estuary was almost blocked off by sediment islands. Extensive effort was spent to dredge se...

The study of the environmental impact of natural and anthropogenic events forms the essence of environmental pollution considerations. The nature of the polluting species as well as their time distributions are of primary importance with respect to identifying the polluting sources. Sediments are the most frequently used materials in such studies. Sediments act as the ecological memories of the...

Coasts are areas that are under the influence of the interaction of the air, water and land and attract attention with the abundance of their natural resources and therefore are subjected to excessive usage. This excessive usage may disturb the sensitive balance of the coast ecosystem. In this study, the changes in Arapçiftligi, Poyraz, Dalyan lakes area found in Kocacay delta located in the so...
