Biography

Research Emphasis
Major areas of focus in my research program involve all aspects of forest ecology; restoration, rehabilitation and reforestation of degraded ecosystems (especially open cast coal mines); determining ecosystem structure and negative effects of climate change, pollutants (radionuclides) and forest fires; examining factors that explain patterns of ecosystem recovery.

Education
Ph.D. 2003. Soil Science, Ege University (Turkey). Primary Concentration: Mining Site Rehabilitation and/or Restoration, Soil Science and Plant Nutrition, Environmental Degradation. Thesis Title: A Study on Soil Fertility Measurement for Reforestation of Coal Mined Lands in the Aegean Region, Turkey.
M.Sc. 1986. Silviculture, Istanbul University (Turkey). Primary concentrations: Afforestation, Silviculture, Vegetation and Woodland Dynamics, Restoration of Degraded Forests, Tree Genetics and Breeding. Thesis Title: Determination of Some Qualitative and Quantitative Differences between Some Provenances in Spruce (Picea orientalis) Provenance Experiment in Belgrad Forest.
B.Sc. 1984. General Forestry, Istanbul University (Turkey). Primary concentrations: Forest Resource Management, Silviculture, Afforestation and Forest Nurseries, Forest Products, Forest Ecology, Watershed Management, Forest Protection (Patology, Entomology, Fire Control). Thesis title: Hydrological Studies and Rainfall Analysis in Belgrad Forest, Ortadere Watershed in Istanbul.
