There are different types of tsunami sources in Southern Aegean Sea. Wider awareness, proper preparedness and effective mitigation strategies against tsunamis need better understanding of tsunamis. Tsunami assessment study covers the exchange and enhancement of available earthquake and tsunami data, development of bathymetric and topographic data in sufficient resolution, selection of possible or credible tsunami scenarios, selection and application of the valid and verified numerical tools for tsunami generation, propagation, coastal amplification, inundation and visualization. From this point of view, tsunami analysis is applied to Southern Aegean Sea. Different tsunami sources are selected. The difficulties in defining the input parameters and uncertainties in the selected tsunami source characteristics are discussed. The simulations in nested domains for selected regions in Southern Aegean are performed using the tsunami numerical code NAMI DANCE. Moreover, the performance and efficiency of the numerical code, the estimations on near shore tsunami parameters (maximum water level, run-up, and inundation distance and arrival time) are discussed.

TSUNAMI MAXIMUM RUNUP AND FOCUSING THROUGH EARTHQUAKE SOURCE PARAMETERS Sharghivand, Naeimeh; Aşık, Mehmet Zülfü; Department of Engineering Sciences (2022-8-11) In this study, the N-wave profile is fitted to the seafloor deformation for a large set of earthquake scenarios, i.e., assuming that the seafloor deformation resulting from an earthquake instantaneously transfers to the sea surface. Hence, the N-wave parameters are identified with respect to the earthquake source parameters allowing to express the initial tsunami profile in terms of the earthquake source parameters. Then, the maximum tsunami runup is presented through the earthquake fault plane parameters u...
Evaluation of tsunami scenarios for western Peloponnese, Greece Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Dilmen, D. I.; Aytore, B.; Ayca, A.; Insel, I.; Zaytsev, A. (2014-06-01) Tsunami hazard assessment of the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea is the current interest of the countries having, a coastline in this region. Considering today's increasing population on the coasts and historical tsunamis, it is essential to estimate the probable tsunami risk, which might occur, to be able to mitigate the risk before the actual tsunami event happens. For this purpose, European Union funded project., SEAHELLARC is formed to develop a methodology and tools for seismic and tsunami safety...
Tsunami risk assessment using GIS-based multi criteria decision analysis at Bakirköy, İstanbul Tüfekçi, Duygu; Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Department of Geological Engineering (2016) Northern coast of the Sea of Marmara hosts many of coastal facilities. Bakırköy is one of the most critical coastal districts of İstanbul with the importance of air and marine transportation. There are many other coastal facilities and structures in Bakırköy district such as marinas, small scaled craft harbors, water front roads and business centers that are prone to suffer from the marine disasters. In the history, the Sea of Marmara has experienced numerous earthquakes and associated tsunamis. Therefore, ...
Paleotsunami investigation in sediments of Demre Lagoon (Eastern Mediterranean) Şen, Serap; Avşar, Ulaş; Department of Geological Engineering (2022-6) There are historical tsunami records in the Eastern Mediterranean region, which is geodynamically active and has several tsunamigenic sources. This study aims to investigate the geological traces of these tsunamis in Demre Lagoon. In this context, ITRAX micro-XRF core scanning was performed on four cores taken from the lagoon, and their radiographic images and elemental variations were revealed. In addition, grain-size analysis was performed on 3 of the cores, and the percentage variation of the detrital se...
High resolution tsunami vulnerability assessment by GISbased multicriteria decision making analysis at Yenikapı İstanbul Çankaya, Zeynep Ceren; Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Department of Geological Engineering (2015) İstanbul is a mega city with its various coastal utilities located at the northern coast of the Sea of Marmara. At Yenikapı, there are critical vulnerable coastal utilities, structures and active metropolitan life. Fishery ports, commercial ports, small craft harbors, passenger terminals of intercity maritime transportation, water front commercial and/or recreational structures with residential/commercial areas and public utility areas are some examples of coastal utilization which are vulnerable against ma...
