A critique review of the state of quantitative basin modeling is presented. Over the last 15 years, a number of models are proposed to advance our understanding of basin evolution. However, as of present, most basin models are two dimensional (2-D) and subject to significant simplifications such as depth- or effective stress-dependent porosity, no stress calculations, isotropic fracture permeability, etc. In this paper, promising areas for future development are identified. The use of extensive data sets to calibrate basin models requires a comprehensive reaction, transport, mechanical (RTM) model in order to generate the synthetic response. An automated approach to integrate comprehensive basin modeling and seismic, well-log and other type of data is suggested. The approach takes advantage of comprehensive RTM basin modeling to complete an algorithm based on information theory that places basin modeling on a rigorous foundation. Incompleteness in a model can self-consistently be compensated for by an increase in the amount of observed data used. The method can be used to calibrate the transport, mechanical, or other laws underlying the model. As the procedure is fully automated, the predictions can be continuously updated as new observed data become available. Finally, the procedure makes it possible to augment the model itself as new processes are added in a way that is dictated by the available data. In summary, the automated data/model integration places basin simulation in a novel context of informatics that allows for data to be used to minimize and assess risk in the prediction of reservoir location and characteristics.

Environmental Discourse of Architecture Basa, İnci (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) This study attempts to examine the environmental discourse of architecture. The attempt to constitute a linguistic framework for the environmental discourse requires a critical understanding of the interrelationship among the following concerns: a) discourse as a ‘system of statements’ that prescribes the ‘theoretical formation’ of an object, b) architecture as a field in which several discourses (professional, technological, social, representational, theoretical, etc.) operate around their specific objects...
Evaluation of the NDVI in plant community composition mapping: a case study of Tersakan Valley, Amasya County, Turkey DOĞAN, Hakan Mete; Celep, Ferhat; Karaer, Fergan (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) Mapping the composition of plant community types requires reliable spatial data obtained from field surveys and satellite-derived indices. The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is the simplest and most frequently used index in plant applications. If relationships between the NDVI and plant cover abundance are determined, this information can be used in the mapping process. In this study, we investigated these possible connections for mapping the plant community composition of Tersakan Valley in ...
Integration of environmental variables with satellite images in regional scale vegetation classification Domaç, Ayşegül; Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi; Bilgin, Cemal Can (Informa UK Limited, 2006-04-01) The difficulty of collecting information at conventional field studies and relatively coarse spatial and spectral resolution of Landsat images forced the use of environmental variables as ancillary data in vegetation mapping. The aim of this study is to increase the accuracy of species level vegetation classification incorporating environmental variables in the Amanos Mountains region of southern central Turkey. In the first part of the study, ordinary vegetation classification is attained by using a maximu...
Hierarchical classification of Sentinel 2-a images for land use and land cover mapping and its use for the CORINE system Demirkan, Doga C.; Koz, Alper; Duzguna, H. Sebnem (SPIE-Intl Soc Optical Eng, 2020-06-01) The aim of this study is to investigate the potential of the Sentinel-2 satellite for land use and land cover (LULC) mapping. The commonly known supervised classification algorithms, support vector machines (SVMs), random forest (RF), and maximum likelihood (ML) classification are adopted for investigation along with a proposed hierarchical classification model based on a coordination of information on the environment land cover system. The main classes for land cover and mapping in the proposed hierarchica...
Geometric correction accuracy of IRS-1D PAN imagery using topographic map versus GPS control points Turker, M; Gacemer, AO (Informa UK Limited, 2004-03-01) Geometric correction accuracy of IRS-1D panchromatic imagery was investigated using GPS- and 1 : 25 000 scale topographic map-derived control points. The differentially corrected GPS-derived coordinates provided markedly more accurate results than did uncorrected handheld GPS- and map-derived GCPs. The rms error value of differentially corrected GPS-derived control points based on second-degree polynomial was in the order of +/-3 m. Geometric corrections made with second-degree polynomials, using both the m...
