Recently, early warning systems have gained much more importance in terms of risk management since awareness regarding landslide hazards has increased dramatically. Different instrumentation techniques have used to monitor mass movements. Although all techniques have their own advantages and disadvantages, optical fiber system has certain superiority over others with an incessant data acquisition capability. The main objective of this study is to monitor slope movement regardless of lithology and failure types. Equipment utilized consists of an optical fiber system containing Brillouin Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (BOTDR) and optical fiber cables. The tests show that fiber optical technology could be used as a monitoring tool and is useful in determining slope movement throughout a fiber array. The results of this study are expected to be used in risk assessment studies in hazard prone regions and during the construction and post construction period.

Optical Fiber Technology to Monitor Slope Movement Arslan Kelam, Arzu; Mert, Eker Arif; Akgün, Haluk (2014-09-19) Recently, awareness about hazards caused by landslides and the importance given to the concept of risk management has been continuously increasing. As a consequence, early warning systems have gained much more importance in terms of risk management. Different instrumentation techniques such as inclinometers, tilt meters, extensometers and ground based LIDAR systems have been used to monitor landslides and/or slopes. All these techniques have their own advantages and disadvantages, but the optical fiber syst...
Tsunami hazard in the Eastern Mediterranean and its connected seas: Toward a Tsunami warning center in Turkey MERAL ÖZEL, NURCAN; Ocal, Necmioglu; Cevdet, Yalciner Ahmet; Dogan, Kalafat; Mustafa, Erdik (Elsevier BV, 2011-04-01) Tsunami mitigation, preparedness and early warning initiatives have begun at the global scale only after the tragic event of Sumatra in 2004. Turkey, as a country with a history of devastating earthquakes, has been also affected by tsunamis in its past. In this paper we present the Tsunami Hazard in the Eastern Mediterranean and its connected seas (Aegean, Marmara and Black Sea) by providing detailed information on historically and instrumentally recorded significant tsunamigenic events surrounding Turkey, ...
Assessment of Index-based Drought Insurance EVKAYA, ÖMER OZAN; YILDIRAK, ŞAHAP KASIRGA; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (2017-04-01) The increase in the frequency and severity of extreme weather events urge for the more powerful early warning systems and ex-post risk transfer mechanisms. Index-based insurance is an efficient risk management tool reducing the impacts of drought in agricultural insurance. The most feasible policy is the one that is directly based on the quantification of relation between index measure and the yield loss. Regardless of its efficiency, as an important caution, the insurer must be aware of the basis risk. In ...
The Global Tsunami Model GTM Lovholt, Finn; Thio, Hong Kie; Carl, Harbitz; Jascha, Polet; Lorito, Stefano; Basili, Roberta; Volpe, Manuela; Romano, Fabrizio; Selva, Jacopo; Piatanesi, Alessio; Davies, Gareth; Griffin, Jonathan; Baptista, Maria Ana; Omira, Rasid; Babeyko, Andrey; Power, William; Galvez, Mario Salgado; Behrens, Joern; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; et.al. (null; 2016-12-12) The large tsunami disasters of the last two decades have highlighted the need for a thorough understanding of the risk posed by relatively infrequent but disastrous tsunamis and the importance of a comprehensive and consistent methodology for quantifying the hazard. In the last few years, several methods for probabilistic tsunami hazard analysis have been developed and applied to different parts of the world. In an effort to coordinate and streamline these activities and make progress towards implementing t...
Probabilistic Slope Stability Analysis: A Case Study Huvaj Sarıhan, Nejan (2018-10-01) Probabilistic slope stability analyses are becoming more and more popular to evaluate the safety level of slopes and associated risk and reliability, especially in the recent years. The probabilistic approach can take into account the uncertainties and natural variability in material properties, as well as in environmental factors, by using various statistical distribution functions (such as normal, lognormal etc.) for random variables. It is already noted by various researchers that, a slope with a determi...
