Turkey is among the countries which could develop earth observation satellites. RASAT and Gokturk-2 satellites are still operational and continuously acquire images of the Earth. Their images are processed before sharing with end users. Pansharpening, at which high resolution pan and low resolution multi-spectral images are fused, is an important step in image processing chain. As the resolution and number of images increase, pansharpening of satellite images take considerable amount of time. Multithread programming and General Purpose GPU (GPGPU) programming implementation improve performance of image processing applications, where most operations carried out on individual pixels. In this paper, we compared pansharpening applications and their CPU and GPU implementations for RASAT images. GPU implementations of pansharpening algorithms provides 20-25 times speed-up compared to CPU implementations.

Parlaktuna, Mahmut; Parlaktuna, Burak (2021-07-06)
Turkey is one of the few countries that has almost all possible applications of geothermal energy. Geothermal district heating has a relatively short history (since 1987) compared to other direct utilization but plays important economic, social and environmental roles in some towns. There are 18 geothermal district heating systems (GDHS), mainly in the Aegean region with resource temperatures between 57–145C. Current heating capacities of those systems are in the range of 570 to 37500 Residence Equivalent ...
How does the Turkish Catastrophe Insurance Pool Data Behave as Extremes
Başbuğ Erkan, Berna Burçak (null; 2012-10-06)
Turkey is a one of the countries vulnerable to earthquakes. $96\%$ of the whole land lies on the first degree earthquake risk zone. The 1999 Marmara and Duzce Earthquakes caused the largest economic losses because Marmara Region is the heart of the Turkish industry. Before 1999 experience, there was no financial mechanism to cover disaster economic losses, except the Government’s sources. As a response to the 1999 earthquake losses, the Turkish Catastrophe Insurance Pool (TCIP) is established and official...
Seismic strengthening of masonry infilled reinforced concrete frames with precast concrete panels
Süsoy, Melih; Tankut, Ali Tuğrul; Department of Civil Engineering (2004)
Over 90% of the land area of Turkey lies over one of the most active seismic zones in the world. Hazardous earthquakes frequently occur and cause heavy damage to the economy of the country as well as human lives. Unfortunately, the majority of buildings in Turkey do not have enough seismic resistance capacity. The most commonly observed problems are faulty system configuration, insufficient lateral stiffness, improper detailing, poor material quality and mistakes during construction. Strengthening of R/C fr...
People’s preferences towards wind farms at the coast of Muğla
Tüzgel, Yılmaz Bahadır; Severcan, Yücel Can; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2018)
Turkey is one of the countries which has wind energy policies and prospective aims. Hence, wind energy developments have been maintained for the last decade more than ever across the country. Muğla, as sixth province with highest wind energy potential, gets its share by hosting ongoing projects. It is also known for its tourism sector and the sector gets its strength from the unique environmental values of the province. This study investigates opinions and choices of two main stakeholders of tourism sector ...
Lake Hazar: a potential high-resolution 150 ka record of climate and tectonic interactions in Anatolia
Boes, Xavier; Moernaut, Jasper; Avşar, Ulaş; Çağatay, Namık; Hubert-ferrari, Aurelia (2008-12-19)
Over the last decade, a tremendous number of researches on climate and tectonic interactions have converged on Turkey, mostly on the NAF (North Anatolian Fault) near Istanbul. For example, the Marmara Sea has been the focus of an increasing number of international drilling projects, as the marine sediments of this region provide long-term climate and tectonic reconstructions. Comparatively, the EAF (East Anatolian Fault) is far from the sea and is few documented in terms of geological records (i.e. Lake Van...
