Emrah Ozpolat

Emrah Ozpolat is a Researcher affiliated with the University of Pittsburgh, where he holds the position of Pre-Doctoral Fellow. His work focuses on geomorphological dynamics, coastal evolution, and tectonic influences on landforms. Ozpolat specializes in analyzing landscape changes through remote sensing, GIS applications, and field-based methodologies.

Research interests include delta dynamics, fluvial processes, tectonic geomorphology, and Holocene environmental changes. Notable studies examine the Seyhan Delta's evolution, permafrost erosion in Alaska, and drainage divide migration in Turkey. His interdisciplinary approach integrates geochronology (e.g., OSL dating) with sedimentological and geochemical analyses.

Recent work explores climate-driven mercury concentration increases in Arctic lakes and landslide inventories in Pennsylvania. Ozpolat collaborates on projects combining experimental river management and historical aerial photography analysis for coastal dune reconstruction.

Publications span journals like The Holocene, Journal of Maps, and Ocean & Coastal Management. Research locations include the Menderes Massif in Turkey, the Allegheny River basin, and Alaskan permafrost regions.
