About
Dr. Geykli’s research focuses on advancing hydrological modeling using machine learning, deep learning, and remote sensing techniques to better assess flood risk and evaluate the impacts of climate change, urbanization, and population growth on water systems. His work integrates comprehensive field investigations with numerical modeling to study deep and shallow groundwater flow, surface water–groundwater interactions, soil and water assessment, nutrient loading, contaminant transport in porous media, and aquifer recharge mechanisms. He has developed effective frameworks for evaluating groundwater availability and sustainable water management. Dr. Geykli has published his findings in peer-reviewed journals and presented his work at international conferences. He also serves as a reviewer for several prestigious journals, including ASCE Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, ASCE Natural Hazards Review, Ain Shams Engineering Journal, and KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering.
