The Black Sea catchment is internationally known as one of ecologically unsustainable development and inadequate resource management, which has led to severe environmental, social and economic problems. The EnviroGRIDS @ Black Sea Catchment project addresses these issues by bringing several emerging information technologies that are revolutionizing the way we are able to observe our planet. The Group on Earth Observation Systems of Systems (GEOSS) is building a data-driven view of our planet that feeds into models and scenarios to explore our past, present and future. EnviroGRIDS aims at building the capacity of scientist to assemble such a system in the Black Sea Catchment, the capacity of decision-makers to use it, and the capacity of the general public to understand the important environmental, social and economic issues at stake. EnviroGRIDS will particularly target the needs of the Black Sea Commission (BSC) and the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR) in order to help bridging the gap between science and policy. This will allow the project to benefit from an existing large network of potential end-users and national authorities. In return these commissions will be able to use the results of the EnviroGRIDS project to accomplish their mission. EnviroGRIDS objectives, in particular, match perfectly those of the Black Sea Commission, enabling it to become a central piece of information system in the region. EnviroGRIDS will also build a strong collaboration with the new PEGASO project on integrated coastal zone management in the Mediterranean and Black Sea. Indeed, understanding the relationships between the expected changes in the catchment area and the ongoing development of coastal zones is of crucial importance for the future of the Black Sea region.

Modeling trophic interrelationships in the Black Sea Gücü, Ali Cemal (1997-06-19) The Black Sea being one of the largest enclosed seas, has been subjected to severe ecological changes within the last few decades. The river induced nutrient enrichment and eutrophication caused significant changes in the species composition. Some of species have disappeared while some others were newly introduced and became dominant in the Black Sea ecosystem. Among those which dominated the pelagic ecosystem, gelatinous organisms suddenly attained a high level of biomass in 1989, which can hardly be suppo...
Modeling the effects of climatic and land use changes on phytoplankton and water quality of the largest Turkish freshwater lake: Lake Beysehir Bucak, Tuba; Trolle, Dennis; Tavsanoglu, U. Nihan; Cakiroglu, A. Idil; Ozen, Arda; Jeppesen, Erik; Beklioğlu, Meryem (Elsevier BV, 2018-04-15) Climate change and intense land use practices are the main threats to ecosystem structure and services of Mediterranean lakes. Therefore, it is essential to predict the future changes and develop mitigation measures to combat such pressures. In this study, Lake Beysehir, the largest freshwater lake in the Mediterranean basin, was selected to study the impacts of climate change and various land use scenarios on the ecosystem dynamics of Mediterranean freshwater ecosystems and the services that they provide. ...
The Influence of Land Use on Coastal Litter: An Approach to Identify Abundance and Sources in the Coastal Area of Cilician Basin, Turkey Aydin, Carina; Guven, Olgac; Salihoğlu, Barış; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan (2016-03-01) The Cilician Basin located in the Northeastern Mediterranean is a region that is affected by a diversity of anthropogenic pressures and is further expected to suffer from negative economic, environmental and social impacts of coastal litter. To provide a baseline for litter management plans, the standing crop of coastal macro-litter was sampled on 13 beaches following MSFD guidelines. Environmental predictors characterizing beach use and potential land based litter point sources in the vicinity of the beach...
Modelling and assessment of landfill gas generation at afyonkarahisar landfill site Karayılan, Sevde; Aksoy, Ayşegül; Department of Environmental Engineering (2018) Management of municipal solid wastes is one of the important environmental problems because of increasing population and developing industrialization in our country. Besides, there is a need to seek alternative energy sources due to rapid consumption of conventional energy sources. Landfilling is still the most common solid waste disposal method in the world and generated landfill gas consists of significant amount of methane that could be used for energy generation. In this study, it is aimed to model the ...
Evaluation of the best management practices in a semi-arid region with high agricultural activity Özcan, Zeynep; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin; Alp, Emre (Elsevier BV, 2017-12) The arid and semi-arid regions with water scarcity are vulnerable to several stressors such as urbanization, high water demand created by agricultural and industrial activities, point and non-point pollution sources, and climate change. Hence, proactive policies and sustainable water management strategies that are based on decision support systems are crucial in arid and semi-arid regions. Because of large expenses and implementation difficulties associated with the diffuse pollution abatement plans, many a...
