Mehmet Dikici serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University's Faculty of Engineering, specializing in hydrological systems and water resource management with 15+ years of academic experience.
His academic credentials include:
- Doctorate in Civil Engineering from Istanbul University (2011-2016) focusing on Hydrodynamic modeling of Alibeyköy Basin and flood risk mapping
- Master's in Hydraulic and Water Resources Engineering from Istanbul Technical University (2006-2009) with thesis on Dry period analysis of Istanbul rainfall
- Non-thesis Master's in Urban Studies and Management from Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University (2014-2015)
- Bachelor's in Civil Engineering from Istanbul Technical University (1986-1990)
Research centers on flood/drought dynamics using remote sensing and hydromechanical modeling, with significant focus on Turkish basins including Alibeyköy, Seyhan, and Ceyhan. His work integrates geospatial technologies for risk assessment and numerical simulation for urban water management challenges, particularly in Mediterranean coastal regions.
Recent publications demonstrate methodological evolution from traditional hydrological modeling (2018-2020) toward integrated remote sensing approaches (2021-2024), with increasing emphasis on climate change impacts and post-disaster flood analysis. Key trends include multi-index drought assessment, fire-flood interactions, and basin-specific flood probability frameworks.
As Department Head (2018-2020), he led research projects including Impacts of Low Impact Developments on Surface Flow in Alibeyköy Watershed (2016) and Calibrated Hydrological Model for Alibeykoy Watershed (2018-2019), plus national initiatives like the IPCC Turkey report (2024) and 1st Water Council (2021).
His applied work connects academia with disaster response through Turkish Red Crescent leadership (Alanya Branch Head since 2019) and board memberships in CEKUD and BAMDER (since 2012), focusing on coastal erosion studies and ancient city infrastructure evaluation.
