My thesis focused on the use of GIS technologies in mapping water consumption, entitled “Determining Water Consumption with Help of Geographical Information Systems in the Base of Hotels; A case study from Istanbul”. This work demonstrated that, through use of GIS, future hotel water consumption requirements could be more easily analysed to assist in future regional water planning.

My undergraduate thesis investigated a range of modelling methods to analyse the effects of different land features on emergency flooding events, using terrestrial LiDAR technologies.
