Overview

Yücel Yılmaz is affiliated with Kadir Has University in Turkey and has contributed extensively to the field of Earth and Planetary Sciences, with a particular focus on geophysics. Their research encompasses a breadth of subfields including geophysics, artificial intelligence, atmospheric science, oceanography, and mechanics of materials.

Their scholarly output includes a total of 25 publications in Earth and Planetary Sciences, with 23 of these focusing specifically on geophysics. Key research topics addressed by Yılmaz cover earthquake and tectonic studies, geological and geochemical analyses, worldwide geological and geophysical investigations, geochemistry and geologic mapping, high-pressure geophysics and materials, geology and paleoclimatology research, as well as marine and environmental studies.

Recent publications include:

  • Tectonic development of western Anatolian extensional province (2023) published in International Geology Review
  • Geological correlation between northern Cyprus and southern Anatolia (2021) published in Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences
  • Morphotectonic development of the Adana plain and the surrounding mountains, South Turkey (2020) published in Mediterranean Geoscience Reviews
  • Tectonics of Eastern Anatolian Plateau (2023) published in Geophysical monograph
  • Tectonics of the Southeast Anatolian Orogenic Belt (2023) published in Geophysical monograph

Yılmaz's work is frequently published in journals such as International Geology Review and Türkiye Jeoloji Bülteni / Geological Bulletin of Turkey, each hosting two of their publications. Additionally, the Geophysical Monograph series features two of their papers, alongside publications in the Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences and Mediterranean Geoscience Reviews.

The scientist collaborates often with several coauthors, including Erdinç Yiğitbaş and Ömer Feyzi Gürer, who have worked on four and three papers with Yılmaz respectively. Other notable collaborators include İbrahim Çemen, Dilara Yılmazer, and A. Nihat Berker.

The range of Yılmaz's research reflects integration of geological and geophysical methods to explore tectonic structures and processes, with attention to regional tectonics within Anatolia and surrounding areas.
