Information

I am a faculty member in the Geological Engineering Department, METU, since 1980 including research assistantship. I am graduated and completed M.Sc. and Ph.D. in same department. I mapped and analyzed two sections of the North Anatolian Fault Zone, namely, Vezirkopru-Havza (Samsun) and Koyulhisar-Susehri (sivas) regions during my M.Sc. and Ph.D studies, respectively. My research topics, other than neotectonics, are Remote Sensing, GIS and Geoarchaeology.
