Mehmet Korkut

Res. Asst. Dr. Mehmet Korkut is a Researcher at the Department of Geological Engineering, Faculty of Mines, Istanbul Technical University (ITU). He holds a PhD in Geological Engineering (2018) from ITU, following a Master's degree in Geological Engineering from ITU (2015-2018) and a prior Master's from Eskişehir Osmangazi University (2014). His academic journey began with a Bachelor's in Geological Engineering from Mediterranean University (2007-2012).

His research focuses on Engineering Geology, Soil Mechanics, Rock Mechanics, Applied Geology, and Hydrogeology. Key projects include studying managed aquifer recharge (MAR) in Türkiye, analyzing landslide mechanisms in carbonate terrains, and applying finite element methods to geotechnical challenges in mining. His work bridges theoretical geology with practical engineering solutions, particularly in environmental and mining contexts.

Recent publications highlight trends in groundwater management and landslide dynamics. For instance, his 2025 review on MAR in Türkiye emphasizes climate change adaptation strategies, while his 2019 study on the Çöllolar landslide explores liquefaction in carbonate deposits. Earlier works include geomechanical analyses of open-pit mines and sediment characterization in basins.

No scientific awards or grants are explicitly listed. He has no registered advisees or patents. His professional activities are centered at ITU's Department of Geological Engineering with no noted affiliations to external labs or teams.
