Ben sismolog değil, jeomorfolog bir coğrafyacıyım. Bunun bana, deprem meselesine çok yönlü ve sonuç odaklı bakabilmemi sağladığı kanaatindeyim. Arap bindirmesinin bir sonucu olarak, Anadolu bloğunun beş milyon yıldır(belki biraz daha eski) batıya doğru kaydığı herkesin malumudur. Bahsedilen kayma hareketi; Anadolu’nun kuzeyinde eskilerin Paflagonya Nebdesi dedikleri, İhsan KETİN hocamızın “Kuzey Anadolu Fay Hattı” o...
The issue of “Global Warming,” clearly understood since the 1980s and now beyond debate, has led to changes in many aspects of our world today. We should not think of these changes only in terms of vehicle gas emissions or the types and amounts of fuel used in thermal power plants. In the middle and upper latitudes of the temperate zone, where over 70% of the world’s population lives, not only the increase in...
From the emergence of Homo sapiens sapiens on Earth around 140,000 years ago to the present day, humanity has undergone numerous revolutions. From the Neolithic era, when settled life began, to the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century, humans have repeatedly reorganized all aspects of life. In this sense, it might be more accurate to refer to humans not as “thinking beings” but rather as “transforming beings.&#...
D. Doğu ATES Geography Teacher In 1988, when James Hansen used the term “global warming” in the U.S. Senate, referring to the increase in global temperatures, a fictional event took center stage. Since then, the term “Global Climate Change,” often referred to as “unintentional climate change,” has been the phrase used to describe this phenomen...
D. Doğu ATES Geography Teacher When the idea of conducting a geomorphological study on Göbeklitepe* and its surroundings emerged, I found myself entertaining quite different thoughts. The Quaternary geology and geomorphology methodologies I was accustomed to typically involved external observation and non-analytical features. However, many of the studies conducted on Göbeklitepe and the “Pre-P...
D. Doğu ATES Geography Teacher As the MTA Cave Research Unit’s four-wheel-drive Land Rover jeep climbed the slope, a sense of fear enveloped us. We were about to enter the “Black Hell” cave, a place we had heard about from various people and in different locations multiple times, and we would be mapping it for the first time. From a distance, on a gently sloping hillside where the Obruk...

D. Doğu ATES Geography Teacher “I understand the logic and purpose of all subjects, but geography feels completely outside my area of interest. After all, I can easily find all kinds of information about any place thanks to communication tools. Even when I change neighborhoods within the city, I can learn in just a few seconds what I can do, what I can eat, which streets to explore, or what historical sites to focus on b...
Değerli öğretmenim, Dr. Emrullah Güney’i hayatımda hiç görmedim. Açıkçası o değerli ellerinden bir kez öpmedim. Bu benim için bir hüzün kaynağı… Çünkü ülkede bilgiye, bilime bir adım dahi attıran kim olursa olsun onun elini öpmek gerek. Emrullah öğretmenimi hayatımda hiç görmedim. Muhtemelen harika sohbetinden hiç istifade edemedim. Lakin öğretmenim, yıllardır bu uzaktaki öğrencisini kitaplarıyla şenlendiriyor. Bu bakımdan en başta D...
Bundan birkaç yıl evvel, eşim eve kargo geldiğini söyledi(02.06.2018). Kimdenmiş? dediğimde Murat TÜRKEŞ cevabını aldım ve ruhumu müthiş bir mutluluk kapsadı. Çünkü kargo ulaştığı tarihte Sayın Türkeş’i yüz yüze (sempozyumlar dışında) görmemiş, telefonla dahi konuşmamıştım. Eve döndüm. Mesele tam da düşündüğüm gibiydi. Türkiye’nin yetiştirdiği en değerli iklim bilimcisi bana – benim hiçbir ricam olmaksızın – kitaplarını gönderme jest...
