The aim of this thesis is to assess the liquefaction potential of the Aziziye District of Erzurum Province and to determine the region's seismic safety in terms of soil properties. In this context, the aim was to calculate the liquefaction potential of the study area using the methods recommended by Iwasaki et al. (1982) and Sönmez and Gökçeoğlu (2005). As part of the field studies, boreholes...
Baited Remote Underwater Video (BRUV) systems have emerged as one of the most effective non-invasive tools for assessing marine biodiversity, detecting species presence, and monitoring fish assemblages across a wide range of habitats. By using bait as a controlled attractant and deploying underwater cameras on fixed frames, BRUVs provide standardized, replicable observations of demersal and...
Soil liquefaction is the sudden loss of strength and stiffness in water-saturated, loose, and cohesionless (non-clayey) granular soils (especially sandy and silty soils) due to cyclic dynamic loading (vibrations) during an earthquake. As a result, the soil, instead of behaving like a solid, temporarily becomes fluid, like a viscous liquid. When liquefaction occurs, the soil loses its bearing...
The preservation of genetic diversity is fundamental to effective biodiversity research, conservation planning, and long-term ecosystem management. Türkiye, situated at the junction of major biogeographic regions and home to rich terrestrial, freshwater, and marine biota, remains underrepresented in global biodiversity and genomic datasets. Recent international analyses highlight large...
