Climate variability and change are supposed to change regional hydrologic conditions. These changes frequently cause excessive outcomes such as floods, heatwaves, and droughts. Quantitative estimations of the hydrological effects of climate change is useful for understanding future water resource problems and hence, managing them. The aim of this paper is to represent preliminary results of a study on determining the effect of climate change on stream flow using the SWAT model so as to establish sustainable watershed management and to assess the impacts on various parameters so that policies can be prepared to mitigate negative results. The SWAT model was run for Sarisu-Eylikler river basin in Central Anatolia. HadCM3 General Circulation Model simulations were downscaled to obtain predicted meteorological parameters of the period 2040-2049 and stream flow was estimated using calibrated hydrologic model. Possible impacts of changes in the meteorological variables and stream flow are briefly visited considering increase flood risk and change crop pattern in the area. © 2015 Taylor & Francis Group.

HOW WILL CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACT THE PROTECTED AREA NETWORK IN TURKEY?
Erol, Dudu; Bilgin, Cemal Can; Yücel, İsmail; Department of Earth System Science (2021-6-08)
Climate Change is a critical problem which might have irrecoverable effects on nature. Due to rising GHG concentrations in the atmosphere, and consequent global warming, global biodiversity is increasingly under threat. Protected areas are the most important tools to conserve biodiversity from destruction. That is why estimating future climatic conditions in protected areas plays a critical role in the prediction of possible changes in biota and ecosystems. Climate velocity is one such measurement that esti...
The role of local governments in clima techange adaptation: achievements and barriers in the turkish case
Özdemir Eroğlu, Gülin.; Balaban, Osman; Department of Earth System Science (2019)
Global warming is manifesting visible consequences at regional and local scales. Cities are considered among major contributors of climate change while also being a victim of it. It is vital to anticipate the adverse impacts of climate change in cities and take appropriate actions to prevent or minimize the damage they may be exposed. The Mediterranean Basin, in which Turkey is located, is one of the regions with the highest vulnerability to climate change. Turkey’s First National Communication on Climate C...
Potential impacts of climate change on wind energy resources in Türkiye
Işık Çetin, İrem; Yücel, İsmail; Arı, İzzet; Department of Earth System Science (2023-3-02)
Increasing the use of renewable energy is crucial in reducing the adverse effects of climate change. However, climate change will also affect weather-dependent renewable energy resources. Therefore, this study aims to identify the effects of climate change on the wind energy resources in Türkiye, which is in the Mediterranean hotspot, in the next century by using recent climate projections (CMIP6) with two different scenarios. The study includes four different results for wind resources in Türkiye. First, t...
Identifying impacts of climate change on water resources using CMIP6 simulations: Havran basin case
Çaktu, Yasemin; Yücel, İsmail; Fıstıkoğlu, Okan; Department of Earth System Science (2022-9-2)
This study aims to investigate climate change effect on precipitation, temperature and discharge in Havran basin which has thousands of decares of agricultural lands. Changes in precipitation and temperature were determined using 10 global climate models (GCMs) for total precipitation and 13 GCMs for average temperature from Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) for the historical period, SSP2-4.5 (moderate-case) and SSP5-8.5 (worst-case) scenarios. Both station observations and ERA5-Land re...
Climate Change Adaptation in Serbia: The Role of Information Networks
Stupar, Aleksandra; Mihajlov, Vladimir (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2016-6-1)
The importance of problems caused by global warming and increased GHG emissions have been recognised by the international community which responded to this challenge through a growing number of studies, agreements and policies dealing with climate change prevention, mitigation and adaptation. The shift to green economy is confirmed as the highest development aim, while establishing a balanced relationship between environmental policies, economic efficiency, technological upgrading and behavioural transition...
