Considering development of the European coastal infrastructure, the assessment of tsunami risk in the Black Sea becomes important. According to tsunami catalogue there were 30 tsunami observed in the Black sea from which 9 events occurred in the last century. The magnitudes of earthquakes generated these tsunamis were not very large. This is why most of tsunamis had local level. Unfortunately, there is a lack of information regarding tsunami impact on the coast. Therefore for inundation studies we rely on numerical simulations.

Evaluation of tsunami scenarios for western Peloponnese, Greece Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Dilmen, D. I.; Aytore, B.; Ayca, A.; Insel, I.; Zaytsev, A. (2014-06-01) Tsunami hazard assessment of the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea is the current interest of the countries having, a coastline in this region. Considering today's increasing population on the coasts and historical tsunamis, it is essential to estimate the probable tsunami risk, which might occur, to be able to mitigate the risk before the actual tsunami event happens. For this purpose, European Union funded project., SEAHELLARC is formed to develop a methodology and tools for seismic and tsunami safety...
Assessment of inland tsunami parameters and their effects on morphology / Pamuk, Aykut; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Department of Civil Engineering (2014) Recent tsunami events clearly showed the potential of massive destruction on buildings, infrastructure, coastal protection structures and also morphological changes by tsunami waves. This thesis covers investigation of tsunami motion at inundation zone considering different factors (smoothed ground without buildings, or with buildings), and related changes of inland tsunami parameters and their effects on morphology. For the applications, the simulations have been performed using different topographic condi...
Geochemical traces of historical Eastern Mediterranean tsunamis in the sediments of Ölüdeniz lagoon, SW Turkey. Yeniçeri, Murat Toygar; Avşar, Ulaş; Department of Geological Engineering (2020) Tsunami is flooding of huge wave of sea water over the land that has the potential to cause destruction and devastation on the coastal regions. They are the result of large subaqueous mass movements possibly related to earthquakes, landslides and volcanic eruptions. More than 44 tsunamis having intensities higher than 6 have been recorded historically in the Mediterranean and connected seas. In order to reveal their sedimentological traces, we investigated Ölüdeniz Lagoon, a depositional environment which h...
Projections of climate change in the Mediterranean Basin by using downscaled global climate model outputs Ozturk, Tugba; Ceber, Zeynep Pelin; Turkes, Murat; KURNAZ, MEHMET LEVENT (Wiley, 2015-11-30) The Mediterranean Basin is one of the regions that shall be affected most by the impacts of the future climate changes on hydrology and water resources. In this study, projected future changes in mean air temperature and precipitation climatology and inter-annual variability over the Mediterranean region were studied. For performing this aim, the future changes in annual and seasonal averages for the future period of 2070-2100 with respect to the period from 1970 to 2000 were investigated. Global climate mo...
Probabilistic TSUnami Hazard MAPS for the NEAM Region The TSUMAPS NEAM Project Basili, Roberto; Babeyko, Andrey; Baptista, Maria Ana; Abdallah, Samir Ben; Canals, Miquel; Mouraouah, Azelarab El; Harbitz, Carl Bonnevie; Ibenbrahim, Aomar; Lastras, Galderic; Lorito, Stefano; Lovholt, Finn; Matias, Luis Manuel; Omira, Rachid; Papadopoulos, Gerassimos A; Pekcan, Onur; Nmiri, Abdelwaheb; Selva, Jacopo; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet (2016-12-16) As global awareness of tsunami hazard and risk grows, the North-East Atlantic, the Mediterranean, and connected Seas (NEAM) region still lacks a thorough probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment. The TSUMAPS-NEAM project aims to fill this gap in the NEAM region by 1) producing the first region-wide long-term homogenous Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Assessment (PTHA) from earthquake sources, and by 2) triggering a common tsunami risk management strategy. The specific objectives of the project are tackled by th...
