The Istanbul Canal: Multidisciplinary Scientific Assessment

Also, please see the presentation of entire book below.

When the idea of ​​building a canal in Istanbul was put forward as a “Crazy Project” about 10 years ago, it received intense public reaction. Even though this idea seems to have been shelved at certain intervals over the long period of time, it has always continued to be a threat like “Democles’ sword” on Istanbul. Despite the negative opinions of the relevant state institutions and the scientific community and the legal objections of all Istanbul residents, the “positive” decision was made by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization on January 17, 2020. In this book, on the basis of scientific data, the issues included or not included in the EIA Report, mistakes made, misleading comments and incomplete evaluations are discussed in detail and the risks, damages and threats that the canal will pose for Istanbul and its natural environment are revealed.

The book in your hand, which is a competent example of a multidisciplinary study, brings together many different disciplines for Kanal Istanbul and provides an analytical result with concrete data. These include movement and maneuvering of ships (ship hydrodynamics), maritime transport, international maritime law and the Montreux Convention, earthquake engineering, earthquake and tsunami risk, canal hydrodynamics, nature and environmental protection, marine sciences, state of groundwater, integrated coastal and marine structures, issues such as traffic and transportation, physical geography, atmosphere, weather and climate change, infrastructure and treatment facilities, cultural and natural assets, new settlements, meteorological parameters, spatial planning, environmental economics and environmental law. You will read the scientific articles of valuable academicians on these subjects and detailed explanations of experts in their fields…
