The Department of Environmental Engineering is part of the Faculty of Engineering at Dokuz Eylul University, which is one of the largest universities of Turkiye (+3600 academics and +63000 students). Dokuz Eylul University is also designated as a “research university”, a status awarded by the Higher Education Council (YOK) to the best performing twenty universities in the country. The institution leads and participates in numerous international research projects mostly funded or co-funded by European research programs.
Project tasks are to be carried out by the Environmental Modeling and Hydroinformatics Lab, with strong expertise in the development and application of local to regional-scale groundwater flow and contaminant transport models; watershed models; hydrological, hydrogeological and geochemical characterization of aquifers and river basins; multi-criteria decision making for water resources management; processing, analyses, and interpretation of remote sensing data within a GIS framework and/or cloud-based processing platforms. - Topic 1.1.1-2024 (IA) Sustainability of Mediterranean irrigated agriculture through the implementation of WEFE Nexus approach. | Topic 2.1.1-2024 (RIA ) Effective water accounting approaches under crisis conditions: climate change and external shocks
- Topic 1.2.1-2024 (IA) Transformative Adaptation of Mediterranean dry farming systems using water harvesting techniques to address extreme drought in arid and semi-arid environments.

We seek collaboration to act as a work package leader in research involving environmental modeling with emphasis on quantitative and/or qualitative water resources assessment, surface water and groundwater quality, and reactive transport of nutrients and other specific pollutants. We are particularly interested in using smart technologies and earth observation data sets that integrate data analytics with environmental transport models to assess the current status of water resources, mitigate water shortages due to quality and/or quantity issues and adapt to future scenarios.
Our research group is experienced in collaborating with other groups in international projects. Currently we are involved in two ongoing PRIMA funded research projects. We would be interested in being work package leaders in a project consortium, and are looking for opportunities to join a partnership with the current 2024 call for project proposals under the themes "Water management in the Nexus"" or "Farming systems in the Nexus". -
