Freshwater ecosystems especially shallow lakes relative to their surface area are very important zones for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (CH4, N2O, CO2) and they are typically supersaturated with these gases (Liikanen et. al., 2003; Whitfield et. al., 2011; Diem et. al., 2012; Miyajima et. al.,1997). Methane and nitrous oxide are long-lived greenhouse gases (LLGHGs) with the radiative efficiency of 3.7x10-4 and 3.03x10-3 W m-2 ppb-1 respectively. Ammonia is the very important alkaline particle in the atmosphere and neutralizes acidic compounds (Asman et. al., 1998). Although N-fluxes from air-water interface is negative, ammonia shows bi-directional fluxes in the case of excessive N-load and the pH of the water above 8.0 (Kugler et. al., 2008). There are lack of studies about the temperate lakes of Mediterranean region and Turkey. These studies about the effects of climate change in Turkish lakes but they are not include the emission rates of greenhouse gases from lake surface. (Tokgöz N., 2010; Jeppesen et. al., 2008; Yağbasan and Yazicigil, 2012). The aim of this study to investigate the GHG emission rate and calculate the gas flux from air-water interface with using suitable equations. In order to achieve this seasonal and temporal gas samples were collected from the water column which reaches the bottom of the lake. Therefore, it was possible to calculated the hourly gas emission from the one square meter area of Lake Eymir with considering the effect of weather conditions.

Seismic velocity characterisation and survey design to assess CO2 injection performance at Kizildere geothermal field

The noncondensable gases in most geothermal resources include CO2 and smaller amounts of other gases. Currently, the worldwide geothermal power is a small sector within the energy industry, and CO2 emissions related to the utilisation of geothermal resources are consequently small. In some countries, however, such as Turkey and Iceland, geothermal energy production contributes significantly to their energy budget, and their CO2 emissions are relatively significant. SUCCEED is a targeted innovation and resea...
Investigation of Turkey's carbon dioxide problem by numerical modeling
Can, Ali; Tokdemir, Turgut; Department of Engineering Sciences (2006)
CO2 emission is very important, because it is responsible for about 60% of the "Greenhouse Effect". The major objectives of this study were to prepare a CO2 emission inventory of Turkey based on districts and provinces by using the fuel consumption data with respect to its sources, to find the CO2 uptake rate of forests in Turkey based on provinces and districts, and to estimate the ground level concentration of CO2 across Turkey using U.S. EPA's ISCLT3 model for the preparation of ground level concentratio...
Investigation of 8-year-long composition Record in the Eastern Mediterranean Precipitation
Işıkdemir, Özlem; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal; Department of Environmental Engineering (2006)
Measurement of chemical composition of precipitation is important both to understand acidification of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and neutralization process in the atmosphere. Such data are scarce in the Mediterranean region. In this study, chemical composition of daily, wet-only, 387 number of rain water samples collected between 1991 and 1999 were investigated to determine levels, temporal variation and long-term trends in concentrations of major ions and trace elements between 1991 and 1999. Sampl...
Climate change effects on nitrogen loading from cultivated catchments in Europe: implications for nitrogen retention, ecological state of lakes and adaptation
Jeppesen,Jeppesen, Erik,Erik; Kronvang, Brian; Olesen, Jorgen E.; Audet, Joachim; Sondergaard, Martin; Hoffmann, Carl C.; Andersen, Hans E.; Lauridsen, Torben L.; Liboriussen, Lone; Larsen, Soren E.; Beklioglu, Meryem; Meerhoff,Meerhoff, Mariana,Mariana; Özen, Arda; Özkan, Korhan (2011-03-01)
Climate change might have profound effects on the nitrogen (N) dynamics in the cultivated landscape as well as on N transport in streams and the eutrophication of lakes. N loading from land to streams is expected to increase in North European temperate lakes due to higher winter rainfall and changes in cropping patterns. Scenario (IPCC, A2) analyses using a number of models of various complexity for Danish streams and lakes suggest an increase in runoff and N transport on an annual basis (higher during wint...
Annual variations in biochemical composition of size fractionated particulate matter and zooplankton abundance and biomass in Mersin Bay, NE Mediterranean Sea
Zenginer Yılmaz, Arife (2010-05-01)
Seasonal changes in biochemical composition of different particle size classes (pico-, nano- and micro-particulate matter) and the zooplankton abundance and biomass were studied in NE Mediterranean between November 2004 and January 2006. Sampling was carried out at monthly intervals from two stations representing coastal and open water characteristics. Dominance of size fractions showed seasonal variations in each biochemical component but on annual average pico size fraction predominated and accounted for ...
