Abstract Lineament extraction and analysis is one of the routines in mapping large areas using remotely-sensed data, most which satellite images. In this study, we aimed to test different lineament techniques including single band, multiband enhancements spatial domain filtering techniques. A fast algorithm has been developed for time cost limited surveys an area with known dominant and/or any selected orientation lineaments. During study band analysis, histogram equalization stretching,...
The devastating Kahramanmaraş earthquake sequence occurred on February 6, 2023. Two main events, Mw 7.8 and 7.5 nine hours apart, affected 11 cities in Turkey, subjected an area of ~90,000 km2 to shaking levels known trigger landslides (peak ground acceleration > 0.08 g). Extensive landsliding was expected given the hilly terrain by this significant shaking—about 15% topography is steeper than 20°—but not initially apparent early satellite imagery, mostly because snowfall that fell just...
A municipal solid waste (MSW) management system needs (SWM) techniques where the presence of a sanitary landfill is vital. One most important issues landfilling to locate facility an optimal location. Despite versatility and case-dependent nature conventional expert-based site selection procedures, number sites be chosen increases with increased population forcing constraints. Consequently, constraints environmental regulations mechanically mask unsuitable areas, leaving very little areas...
Istanbul is a mega city with various coastal utilities located on the northern coast of Sea Marmara. At Yenikapı, there are critical vulnerable utilities, structures, and active metropolitan life. Fishery ports, commercial small craft harbors, passenger terminals intercity maritime transportation, waterfront and/or recreational structures residential/commercial areas public utility some examples utilization that to marine disasters. Therefore, tsunami risk in Yenikapı region an important...
Abstract The aim of this study was to determine how well the landslide susceptibility parameters, obtained by data-dependent statistical models, matched with parameters used in literature. In order achieve goal, 20 different environmental were mapped a well-studied landslide-prone area, Asarsuyu catchment northwest Turkey. A total 4400 seed cells generated from 47 landslides and merged attributes causative variables into database. run series logistic regression random landslide-free sample...
Digital elevation models (DEM) are the indispensable quantitative environmental variable in most of research studies remote sensing. The improvement sensor and satellite imaging technologies enabled researchers to generate DEM using remotely sensed data. These data can be started use as not only two-dimensional (2-D) but also three-dimensional (3-D) information sources with usage DEM. Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) is one systems capable generation during...
The Küçük Menderes Graben (KMG) is part of the horst-graben system southwestern Anatolia (Turkey), bounded by Bozdağ horst in north and Aydın south. Plio-Quaternary evolution KMG has been evaluated using nature Miocene-Quaternary fill sediments palaeostress analysis slip data measured different parts graben. graben composed five subbasins—the Kiraz, Ödemiş, Bayındır, Dağkızılca-Torbalı Selçuk—that are connected to each other through narrow Quaternary troughs. Dağkızılca, Kiraz Selçuk basins...
Evaporate minerals are important industrial raw materials that have been used in diverse industries for many years. As one of the most extensively evaporate minerals, gypsum is an material construction, agriculture, textile, dentistry and chemical industries, resulting a massive increase demand these recent The aim this study was to demonstrate responses common remote sensing mapping techniques further develop some them while evaluating their success well-known outcrops using Advanced...
The coastal cultural heritage sites are expected to be affected negatively by sea-level rise, although these impacts will observed at different levels in areas. ICOMOS (2019) has urged the member states determine and assess vulnerability risks of those that under threat increase efforts protect adapt locations climate change. Turkey many significant natural archeological with outstanding values, areas protected law. Scientific Technological Research Council Turkiye (TUBITAK) funded project...
The difficulty of collecting information at conventional field studies and relatively coarse spatial spectral resolution Landsat images forced the use environmental variables as ancillary data in vegetation mapping. aim this study is to increase accuracy species level classification incorporating Amanos Mountains region southern central Turkey. In first part study, ordinary attained by using a maximum likelihood method with help forest management maps. Discriminant analysis used second two...
Hyperspectral remote sensing data is a powerful tool for discriminating lithological units and the preparation of mineral maps alteration studies. The spaceborne hyperspectral Hyperion sensor, despite its narrow swath width (∼7.5 km), possesses great potential with 196 channels within wavelength range 426.82–2395.50 nm. Although it has many advantages such as low cost on-demand coverage, much uncertainty exists in utility applications. For example, poor signal-to-noise ratio, presence...
Turkey is highly prone to earthquakes because of active fault zones in the region. The Marmara region located at western extension North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) one most tectonically Turkey. Numerous catastrophic events such as or earthquake/landslide-induced tsunamis have occurred Sea basin. According studies on past tsunami records, coasts been hit by 35 different last 2000 years. recent occurrences world's oceans also raised awareness about that might take place around coasts....
