Seismic Prediction with Data: What is an Earthquake Map?
Earthquakes have always been a topic of discussion throughout history due to their sudden development and destructiveness. As long as the Earth's lithosphere, or upper crust, continues to move, they will continue to occur, and there is no technology that can prevent these disasters. Therefore, it is up to us humans to act based on data and take precautions. Thanks to geographic information systems (GIS), we can develop applications such as fault line movement and recent earth

Life in the Poles: Science and Travel
The poles are some of the most remote, extreme, and least understood places on Earth. These icy shores are shaped by freezing temperatures, long periods of darkness and light, and vast snow and ice caps. Despite their harshness, they are not considered empty. These regions are home to unique ecosystems, extraordinary wildlife, and play a vital role in regulating the world's climate. In recent years, the poles have become increasingly popular with the global scientific commun

Before the Flames Arrive: Satellite Technologies That Provide Fire Warning
We always talk about forest fires afterward: how many hectares were burned, how many days did it last, how many people intervened? But the real question often lingers: Could we have foreseen this? In this article, we look not at the past, but at the possibilities. Thanks to two recent studies based on satellite data, we'll examine what nature tells us about where and when fires might break out. So, it's a little science, a little data, and a little effort to understand nature

The Soil is Cracking: Satellite Drought Maps
Drought doesn't begin overnight. First, rainfall decreases, then humidity decreases, and plants lose their color. The key to understanding this silent progression is not just looking at the ground, but looking from above. Satellites have been tracking these changes for years. In this article, I'll explain how atmospheric irregularities are mapped, what data helps us predict soil drying, and why we should think of drought as a matter of "foreknowledge." What Does Drought Tell

What is GNSS? We Run and Order with GNSS
As you read this, are you aware that you're leaving a mark on the world? Let me go even further: While you're running, walking, ordering food, looking for a date, or even waiting for your package, someone is watching you from above. And they're notifying you of what you're doing, wherever you are, and what you're doing. GNSS satellites orbit our planet, sending data every second. And we receive that data not just when we open a map application, but through numerous systems ru

Photogrammetry and Hyperspectral: Data Mining from Imagery
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flies over a field or forest. Its camera takes hundreds of high-resolution photos, but it also captures colors in invisible wavelengths. So, what can such supervision reveal? For example, information such as chemical changes in plant leaves, soil moisture, or the material of a building's roof can only be revealed by processing photogrammetric (3D modeling) and hyperspectral (multispectral color analysis) data together. In this article, we'

What is Remote Sensing? Fundamentals and Applications
Today, remote sensing is one of the most effective tools for observing and understanding the world. Often without fieldwork, imagery obtained from above or from orbit allows us to quickly collect data across vast areas. This data can be processed and used in a wide range of fields, from engineering to environmental management. In this article, we will explore the fundamental definition of remote sensing, image processing, and classification methods. We will also examine its a
