SPOT HRV (XS and PAN) images acquired on 17 July 1999 and 20 August 1999 were used to detect earthquake-induced changes on 17 August 1999 in Izmit, Turkey. The pre-event and post-event images were geometrically and radiometrically calibrated to each other. In order to preserve the spatial and spectral information of the two data-sets the multispectral and panchromatic images were merged. The change areas were detected by subtracting the image brightness values for the near-infrared channel (Band 3) of the merged July image from that of the August image. The overall accuracy of the change image was found to be 83%. Upon finding the change areas, the emphasis was placed on the detection of the damaged building blocks within a selected urban area in the change image using automated analysis techniques. Our results show that the difference image of the merged pre- and post-event SPOT HRV data can successfully reveal the location of the earthquake induced changes. The procedure also demonstrates that the building blocks that contain collapsed buildings can be detected and categorized according to pre-defined damage conditions through the analysis of the merged SPOT HRV data.

29 October 2007, Çameli earthquake and structural damages at unreinforced masonry buildings Kaplan, H.; Yilmaz, S.; Akyol, E.; Sen, G.; Tama, Y. S.; Cetinkaya, N.; Nohutcu, H.; Binici, H.; Atimtay, E.; Sarisin, A. (Copernicus GmbH, 2008-8-26) A recent earthquake of M=4.9 occurred on 29 October 2007 in C¸ ameli, Denizli, which is located in a seismically active region at southwest Anatolia, Turkey. It has caused extensive damages at unreinforced masonry buildings like many other cases observed in Turkey during other previous earthquakes. Most of the damaged structures were non-engineered, seismically deficient, unreinforced masonry buildings. This paper presents a site survey of these damaged buildings. In addition to typical masonry damag...
Extreme waves at Filyos, southern Black Sea Bilyay, E.; Ozbahceci, B. O.; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet (Copernicus GmbH, 2011-01-01) A wave measurement project was carried out for a new port planned in Filyos, in the Western Black Sea region of Turkey. The measurement at a depth of 12.5 m lasted for a period of two years and 7949 records were obtained. During the analysis, it was noticed that there were 209 records in which H/H(s) ratio was higher than 2.0. These higher waves in a record are called extreme waves in this study. Although the purpose of wave measurement is not to investigate extreme waves, it is believed that studying these...
Planar seismic source characterization models developed for probabilistic seismic hazard assessment of Istanbul Gülerce, Zeynep; Guner, Baris; Kaymakcı, Nuretdin (Copernicus GmbH, 2017-12-22) This contribution provides an updated planar seismic source characterization (SSC) model to be used in the probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) for Istanbul. It defines planar rupture systems for the four main segments of the North Anatolian fault zone (NAFZ) that are critical for the PSHA of Istanbul: segments covering the rupture zones of the 1999 Kocaeli and Duzce earthquakes, central Marmara, and Ganos/Saros segments. In each rupture system, the source geometry is defined in terms of fault len...
Slope stability assessment of a re-activated landslide on the Artvin-Savsat junction of a provincial road in Meydancik, Turkey Topsakal, Ebru; Topal, Tamer (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2015-03-01) The purpose of this study is to determine the most suitable remediation techniques for an active landslide area in Turkey, using a geological engineering assessment of a re-activated landslide that occurred during the construction of the Artvin-Savsat Junction on the Meydancik Provincial Road, at Km: 12 + 200. For this, the geotechnical parameters of the mobilized geological material-which is colluvium along the sliding surface-were determined by back analyses of the landslide at three geological sections. ...
Optical properties of mineral dust outbreaks over the northeastern Mediterranean Kubilay, N; Cokacar, T; Oguz, T (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2003-11-06) Ground-based aerosol optical measurements were conducted within the framework of the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) program at the IMS-METU site at Erdemli (36degrees33'N, 34degrees15'E) along the Turkish coast of the northeastern Mediterranean from January 2000 to June 2001. The measurements were used to identify and define predominant regional aerosol optical properties, with an emphasis on mineral dust intrusion events. Dust storms affecting the region primarily originate from the central Sahara in sp...
