Changes in microplastic-associated bacterial communities along a salinity gradient in Central Anatolian lakes of Türkiye Gökdağ, Kerem; Pekmez, Tülay; AKCA, GÜLÇİN; Korkmaz, Mustafa; Pacheco, Juan Pablo; Başaran Kankılıç, Gökben; Dede, Cemreay; Özkan, Korhan; Beklioğlu, Meryem; Jeppesen, Erik; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Tavşanoğlu, Ülkü Nihan (2025-01-01) Lakes face anthropogenic stressors such as climate change, salinization, and eutrophication, and microplastics (MPs) now emerge as a new concern since they act as vectors for pathogenic bacteria, giving rise to concern abo...
Assessing microplastic pollution in a river basin: A multidisciplinary study on circularity, sustainability, and socio-economic impacts Tavşanoğlu, Ülkü Nihan; Koraltan, İdris; Basaran Kankılıç, Gökben; Çırak, Tamer; Ertürk, Şeyma; Ürker, Okan; Güçlü, Pembe; Ünlü, Hülya; Çağan, Ali Serhan; DENİZ YAĞCIOĞLU, KIYMET; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal (2024-12-01) Plastic pollution has emerged as a significant environmental challenge worldwide, posing serious threats to ecosystems and human health. This study seeks to explore the interplay among circularity, sustainability, and the ...
Understanding the Snow Cover Climatology over Turkey from ERA5-Land Reanalysis Data and MODIS Snow Cover Frequency Product Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Kuter, Semih; Karaman, Çağrı H.; Akpınar, Berkay (2023-10-01) Understanding the distribution, patterns, and characteristics of snowfall and snow cover within a given region over extended periods is important. Snow climatology provides valuable insights into the seasonal and long-term...
Mesocosm Design and Implementation of Two Synchronized Case Study Experiments to Determine the Impacts of Salinization and Climate Change on the Structure and Functioning of Shallow Lakes Özkan, Korhan; et. al. (2023-07-01) Salinization of freshwater ecosystems is one of the major challenges imposed largely by climate change and excessive water abstraction for irrigated crop farming. Understanding how aquatic ecosystems respond to salinizatio...
Effects of Climate Change on the Habitat Suitability and Distribution of Endemic Freshwater Fish Species in Semi-Arid Central Anatolian Ecoregion in Türkiye Korkmaz, Mustafa; MANGIT, FATİH; Dumlupınar, İlayda; Çolak, Mehmet Arda; Akpınar, Mustafa Berkay; Koru, Meltem; Pacheco, Juan Pablo; Ramírez-García, Arely; Yılmaz, Gültekin; Amorim, Cihelio Alves; Özgencil, İbrahim Kaan; İnnal, Deniz; Yerli, Sedat Vahdet; Özkan, Korhan; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Beklioğlu, Meryem; Jeppesen, Erik (2023-04-01) Climate change is affecting freshwater ecosystems globally, particularly those in semi-arid and arid regions. The Central Anatolian Ecoregion (CAE) in Türkiye has a semi-arid climate and is home to numerous endemic fish sp...
Evaluation of near-surface air temperature reanalysis datasets and downscaling with machine learning based Random Forest method for complex terrain of Turkey Hasan Karaman, Çağrı; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal (2023-01-01) Near-surface air temperature is a key variable used in a wide range of applications showing the environmental conditions of the Earth. Standard meteorological observations generally provide the best estimation with high ac...
Kozmik Işın Nötron Sayacı ile Ölçülen Toprak Neminin Hidrolojik Modellerde Kullanımı Duygu, Mustafa Berk; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal (2022-11-01) Scattered neutrons which occur as a result of the collision between cosmic rays and the Earth surface, lose their energy when they come into contact with hydrogen. The soil moisture of a region can be determined with high ...
Increased Water Abstraction and Climate Change Have Substantial Effect on Morphometry, Salinity, and Biotic Communities in Lakes: Examples from the Semi-Arid Burdur Basin (Turkey) Colak, Mehmet Arda; Oztas, Baris; Özgencil, İbrahim Kaan; Soyluer, Melisa; Korkmaz, Mustafa; Ramirez-Garcia, Arely; Metin, Melisa; Yilmaz, Gultekin; Ertugrul, Serhat; TAVŞANOĞLU, ÜLKÜ NİHAN; Amorim, Cihelio Alves; Özen, Can; Apaydin Yagci, Meral; Yagci, Abdulkadir; Pacheco, Juan Pablo; Özkan, Korhan; Beklioğlu, Meryem; Jeppesen, Erik; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal (2022-04-01) Global warming and altered precipitation patterns are predicted to intensify the water loss in semi-arid and arid regions, and such regions in Turkey will be particularly affected. Moreover, water abstraction, not least fo...
A machine learning-based accuracy enhancement on EUMETSAT H-SAF H35 effective snow-covered area product Kuter, Semih; Bolat, Kenan; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal (2022-04-01) Snow is a major element of the cryosphere with significant impact on the Earth's water cycle and global energy budget. Acquiring consistent and long time series data on the spatial extent of snow cover doubtlessly plays a ...
COSMOS-Europe: a European network of cosmic-ray neutron soil moisture sensors Bogena, Heye Reemt; et. al. (2022-3-01) Climate change increases the occurrence and severity of droughts due to increasing temperatures, altered circulation patterns, and reduced snow occurrence. While Europe has suffered from drought events in the last decade u...
