Assessing Contribution of Climate Change on Wetlands by Using Multi-temporal Satellite Data

Monitoring the Changes of Lake Uluabat Ramsar Site and Its Surroundings in the 1985-2021 Period Using Rs and Gis Methods

“…However, the world's water resources and water bodies are turning into ecosystems that are gradually shrinking and disappearing due to both climate change and human activities. As a matter of fact, wetlands with shallow water depths and large areas are among the water bodies that are most affected by climate change (Chang et al, 2017;Musaoğlu et al, 2020). However, wetlands are also deteriorating due to many reasons such as agricultural transformation to meet the increasing population and food demand, developing residential areas, digging for irrigation, drying, filling, drainage, pollution, excessive resource consumption (Mozumder et al, 2014;Akdeniz et al, 2015;Yagmur and Musaoğlu, 2020;Mukherjee and Pal, 2021).…”

“…The fact that water management decisions require the use of modern methods (Chalkidis et al, 2016) has made Remote sensing (RS) and geographic information systems (GIS) have become one of the widely used tools that provide significant potential and information to assess the status of wetland ecosystems, at the point where the developments in science and technology have come, especially in the last few decades (Eid et al, 2020a;Musaoğlu et al, 2020;Brinkhoff et al, 2022). RS-GIS-based techniques have been adopted because they allow effective temporal evaluation through satellite images, as well as being efficient in terms of labor and cost (Maleki et al, 2016;Mukherjee and Pal, 2021;Li et al, 2021).…”
