The Earth rotation movement characterizes the situation of the whole Earth movement, as well as the interaction between the Earth’s various layers such as the Earth’s core, mantle, crust, and atmosphere. Prediction of the Earth rotation parameters (ERPs) is important for near real-time applications including navigation, precise positioning, remote sensing and landslide monitoring, etc. In such studies, the analysis of time series is also important for highly accurate and reliable predictions. Therefore, prediction of ERPs at least over a few days in the future is necessary. At present, there are two major forecasting methods for ERP: linear and nonlinear models. The nonlinear models include: sequence of artificial neural network (ANN), fuzzy inference system, and other methods. Fuzzy inference system (FIS) and traditional artificial neural networks (ANN) provide good predictions of polar motion (PM). In this study, for the prediction of Earth rotation parameters, International Earth Rotation and Reference System Service (IERS) C04 daily time series data from 1990 to 2015 was used for training. From 1 to 120 days in future of ERPs values were predicted by using the data of 5, 15, and 25 years in ANN. The results of ANN and ANFIS were compared with observed values. The results indicate that the longer training data are used in ANN and ANFIS, the more accurate prediction can be obtained.

Prediction of felt intensity from ground motion parameters using artificial neural network method
Öztürk , Seda; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Department of Earthquake Studies (2019)
Earthquakes are natural phenomena that cause ground shaking and deformations due to the nature of the Earth's surface, which is composed of tectonic plates. The sudden release of energy on these tectonic plates results in earthquakes. One of the ways to measure ground shakings is the macroseismic (or felt) intensity. There are various studies on the correlation between felt intensity and ground motion parameters. Most of them involve a linear regression method to find an empirical formula for this relation....
Performance comparison of filtering methods on modelling and forecasting total precipitation amount
Ünal, Ecem; Yozgatlıgil, Ceylan; Department of Statistics (2019)
The performance of condensed water vapour in the atmosphere observed as precipitation on the earth surface with the consequence of gravity. It is hard to observe and measure the amount and concentration of total precipitation with its all types changing over time. This difficulty can be explained by the association between the changing amount of precipitation and the variability in the climate with its both causes and consequences. As a result of these factors, modelling and forecasting of monthly total pre...
The effects of subduction termination on the continental lithosphere: Linking volcanism, deformation, surface uplift, and slab tearing in central Anatolia
Delph, Jonathan R.; Abgarmi, Bizhan; Ward, Kevin M.; Beck, Susan L.; Özacar, Atilla Arda; Zandt, George; Sandvol, Eric; TÜRKELLİ, NİYAZİ; Kalafat, Dogan (Geological Society of America, 2017-11-01)
Subduction beneath central Anatolia represents the transition between continuous subduction along the Aegean trench in the west and slab break-off and/or subduction termination at the Arabian-Eurasian collision zone in the east. Using recently collected seismic data from the Continental Dynamics-Central Anatolian Tectonics project alongside a newly developed approach to the creation of a 3D shear-velocity model from the joint inversion of receiver functions and surface-wave dispersion data, we can gain impo...
Neural network prediction of tsunami parameters in the aegean and Marmara Seas
Erdurmaz, Muammer Sercan; Ergin, Ayşin; Department of Civil Engineering (2004)
Tsunamis are characterized as shallow water waves, with long periods and wavelengths. They occur by a sudden water volume displacement. Earthquake is one of the main reasons of a tsunami development. Historical data for an observation period of 3500 years starting from 1500 B.C. indicates that approximately 100 tsunamis occurred in the seas neighboring Turkey. Historical earthquake and tsunami data were collected and used to develop two artificial neural network models to forecast tsunami characteristics fo...

The Earth's Critical Zone (CZ) is the planetary veneer that extends from the air above our treetops to the layers of rocks below, which supports human activity. This includes life-sustaining resources for energy, food, and water. The CZ also includes places where we dispose and store toxic materials, and expose to other contaminants. The fate of change in the CZ is important to the government and business planners to help respond to effects of disease, drought, and land degradation in agricultural and urban...
