One of the likely consequences of global climate change is an accelerated global sea-level rise. Combined with other effects, such as land subsidence, storm impacts and tsunamis, it could cause serious increases in coastal vulnerability, such as loss of the shore zone accompanied by a dramatic reduction of the width of the beaches. The deltaic areas and low-lying coastal plains along the Marmaris-Fethiye coast, SW Turkey, are experiencing a number of similar short- And long-term coastal problems. In addition historical earthquakes and tsunamis hit those areas many times in the past. Trenching and coring surveys for historical tsunami deposits, their geological and biochemical properties provided some new clues for the coastal vulnerability of the studied coast to tsunamis, as well as for the environmental assessment of the past.

Evaluating maritime intelligent transportation systems: The case of using electric ferries and renewable energy in Türkiye Pense, Caner; Akınoğlu, Bülent Gültekin; Atik, Oğuz; Department of Earth System Science (2022-10-26) Climate Change and Global Warming are among the most critical global problems today. Their effects can be seen all over the world. The maritime sector contributes to global Climate Change and Global Warming with greenhouse gas emissions from coastal structures and ships. At the local level, it also negatively affects all life with environmental pollution, especially air and sea. Today, drive technologies are developing at a dizzying speed. In land transportation, electric vehicles are frequently seen. Elect...
Changes in precipitation climatology for the Eastern Mediterranean using CORDEX RCMs, NHRCM and MRI-AGCM Mesta, Buket; Sasaki, Hidetaka; Nakaegawa, Tosiyuki; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin (2022-07-01) © 2022Mediterranean Basin is expected to be one of the regions most severely impacted by global climate change. However, the complex interactions of driving forces of climate in the region create a challenge for climate projections for the future. Findings from climate change studies support the inter-model and inter-regional variability of projections on climate change impacts. On the other hand, the studies on the evaluation of the simulation skills of high-resolution climate models for the region particu...
Risk society and planning: the case of flood disaster management in Turkish cities Şenol Balaban, Meltem; Balamir, Murat; Department of City and Regional Planning (2009) Global warming and climate change is believed to increase the hydro-meteorological natural disasters. Floods, the most widespread of natural hazards, are expected to occur more frequently and severely in the near future. This means that urban areas of Turkey are likely to be under intensive threat of floods, the adverse impacts of which are already considered only next to that of earthquakes. The recent disaster policy of United Nations together with contemporary interpretations of risk society shifted to c...
The Impact of transnational municipal networks on climate policy-making: the case study of Gaziantep, Nilufer and Seferihisar municipalities Bütün, Gülsün Duygu; Balaban, Osman; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2016) Climate change is accepted as a global threat, which requires global solutions. The climate policy has witnessed a growing involvement of municipalities over the past 20 years. Urban responses to climate change have become increasingly important when the reluctance of national governments and the failure of international negotiations since the early 2000s are considered. As a city-based initiative to address the climate problem, Transnational Municipal Networks (TMNs) have emerged in order to guide local go...
Assessing the impact of climate change on Mogan and Eymir Lakes' levels in Central Turkey Yagbasan, Ozlem; Yazıcıgil, Hasan (2012-05-01) Global warming is likely to have significant effect on the hydrological cycle. Some parts of the world may see significant reductions in precipitation or major alterations in the timing of wet and dry seasons. Climate change is one of the serious pressures facing water resources and their management over the next few years and decades. As part of the southern belt of Mediterranean Europe, Turkey is highly vulnerable to anticipated climate change impacts. The changes in global climate will seriously affect i...
