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

Turkey and its surrounding areas have been handed over to various peoples throughout history, each carrying a diverse legacy. Whether of different nationalities or common origins, the region's inhabitants have left behind a variety of cultural structures, artifacts, and stories that have left their mark on the future. Therefore, we have prepared a guide that encompasses them all. Welcome to Anatolian history, chronologically. Contents The Birthplace of Civilization: Göbekli T

The history of cartography dates back thousands of years BC and continues to evolve today. When researching any topic, looking at historical records should always be your first step. With this in mind, we decided to create a comprehensive content. Contents The Renaissance's Impact on Discoveries First Step to America: The Truth Behind Christopher Columbus's Voyage How One Voyage Changed the World: Vasco da Gama and the Spice Route A 500-Year-Old Riddle: The Piri Reis Map and

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

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

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

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'

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

Simply seeing how much "green" a field actually is isn't always enough. Especially when we're talking about large areas, some technology is essential. Did you know we can measure the health of plants remotely, and even numerically? NDVI does exactly that. It helps us understand the condition of soil, fields, and forests by looking at satellite imagery. Without further ado, let's take a detailed look at what NDVI is and where it's used.
