Understanding Earth's Past, Present, and Future

 

 

 

The Eurasia Institute of Earth Sciences (EIES) at Istanbul Technical University is an interdisciplinary research and education center dedicated to understanding the dynamic systems of our planet and developing scientific solutions to environmental challenges. At our institute, research is conducted across a wide scientific spectrum, including solid earth sciences, atmospheric and marine sciences, as well as ecology and evolutionary biology.  

Our mission is to investigate critical issues such as climate change, geohazards, active tectonics and earthquakes, geomorphology, marine geology, ecosystem dynamics, air pollution, and hydrological processes—by addressing them in conjunction with atmospheric, oceanic, and surface processes. The scientific knowledge we generate and the models we develop contribute not only to solving global environmental problems but also to strategies aimed at reducing natural hazard risks.  

Our graduate programs offer students the opportunity to combine theoretical knowledge with fieldwork, laboratory analysis, and advanced modeling techniques. Research in areas such as geodynamics, climate-ocean systems, regional climate change, atmospheric modeling, and ecosystem sciences is designed to train future scientists with an interdisciplinary approach.  

AYBE holds a respected position in the national and international scientific community and conducts joint projects with numerous scientific institutions in Turkey and around the world. Our institute continues its work with the belief that science should serve not only academic purposes but also benefit society and decision-makers.

Eurasia Institute of Earth Sciences (EIES) was established in 1997 as a research and graduate academic institute at the Istanbul Technical University, Turkey. It was designed by a group of scientists lead by Prof. Dr. İhsan Ketin who was one of the most important milestones of Turkish geological research. The aim was to carry research under one roof with a multidisciplinary way. The national and international reputation of the institute continues since then. The Institute began teaching in 1998.

EIES brings together scientists and tools necessary to address and solve problems related to our Earth. We largely focus on hard and soft rock geology, geomorphology, tectonics, Quaternary geology (with several cosmogenic surface dating applications), climate change and paleoclimate, oceanography, atmospheric and environmental sciences, archeology, ecology and evolution where we offer related graduate level courses since 1997. Scientists and students all around the world are welcome to do research in our institute.
