Work experience
I had worked for many projects on soil mapping, soil reclamation and land consolidation as a soil scientist in A National Organization, General Directorate of Soil and Water, from 1981 to1994. I was responsible also soil mapping project of Western Regions of Anatolia during to these years. After graduating post graduate course from ITC (Holland), I have change my job to Ege University (1994) as a staff member and established a Remote Sensing and GIS laboratory. I had attempted totally 37 projects about soil mapping, soil degradation, erosion, water pollutions, land cover mapping, land use planning, land consolidation, regional developing projects and drought management as a leader or researcher. I was also part time consultant of Istanbul City Metropolitan Planning Center for building a data base of soil, land cover and general land use planning of Istanbul and Trace region by GIS and Remote Sensing techniques including fieldworks.
