Erdal Kesgin

Erdal Kesgin is a Lecturer in the Civil Engineering Department at Istanbul Technical University. He specializes in Water Resources, Fluid Mechanics, and Hydrology. His research focuses on soil erosion, rainfall simulation systems, and the impact of climate change on water resources.

• Education: PhD in Hydraulic Engineering from Yildiz Technical University, Postdoctoral studies at Danish Technical University (DTU).
• Projects: Leading studies on soil erosion risk analysis using RUSLE and CMIP6 models, optimizing rainfall simulators, and drainage systems in sports fields.

Research Interests: Erdal’s work integrates hydrological modeling, experimental methods, and climate projections to address environmental challenges such as soil conservation, water quality, and sustainable water management. He has contributed to projects assessing drought patterns in the Euphrates Basin and Mediterranean coastal regions.

He has supervised multiple theses on topics like propeller jet scour mechanisms, layer erosion dynamics, and offshore monopile design. Erdal actively participates in international conferences and collaborates with institutions like DTU on offshore engineering projects.
