I'm thrilled to share some wonderful news with you today!
My master’s thesis, “Spatiotemporal Patterns of Lightning-Induced Wildfires in Turkey”, has received the Best Master's Thesis Award from the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Society of Türkiye - EkoEvo!
🧑🌾 New article just out! 👩🏾🌾
Together with Deniz Pelek & Cemil Yıldızcan, we trace the im/mobility of migrant seasonal agricultural workers and the slow violence they are exposed to in #disaster-affected areas in #Turkey.

Bleeding edge update for the #tidyverse purrr package with even more seamless #rstats parallel maps.
Introducing our shiniest new adverb: `in_parallel()`. Just wrap your function to take advantage of blazing fast parallel processing via mirai.

New blog post: Spatial Machine Learning with tidymodels 🌍🧠📦
This post shows how to apply the tidymodels framework to spatial data workflows in R. Part 3 in a series about #sml.

Balloon wall art inspired by the ggplot2 hex sticker. The display features a hexagonal frame made of black balloons, filled with white balloons inside and surrounded by a background of light and dark blue balloons. A line graph with black balloon segments and round coloured nodes runs across the centre, and the word “ggplot2” is spelled out in black balloon letters below the chart.
Happy 18th birthday ggplot2! #rstats

Riot police (R) stand guard as protesters gather during a rally in support of Istanbul's arrested mayor, near the town hall in Istanbul on March 25, 2025
Protesters in Turkey were defiant on Wednesday despite a crackdown and nearly 1,500 arrests as they marked a week since the start of the country's biggest street demonstrations against the rule of President Erdogan since 2013 ➡️ u.afp.com/Swtz
After Turkish officials arrested Ekrem Imamoglu, the mayor of Istanbul and the top rival of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, on accusations of corruption and supporting terrorism, the biggest protests in more than a decade have erupted across the country. Here's what to know.

I am trying to find the symposium book "Diversity and Stability in Ecological Systems: Report of a Symposium Held May 26-28, 1969," in which Lewontin's paper "The Meaning of Stability" is found. It can't be bought or reached via Amazon, Google, and sci-hub. Does anyone share this paper with me?
Off müthiş hissiyat.

I think one of the most useful packages in R is "beepr". It allows you to beep at the end of your code. It even have Super Mario coin sound: beep(2). You can thank me later.

In our recent publication, we identified Muğla as the region in Türkiye most affected by lightning-induced fires. We suggested that managing forests and fire regimes in light of this information could help prevent larger wildfires in the future. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Wildfires have always been a natural part of ecosystems, even before human activities made them more frequent and severe. Lightning-driven fire regimes are a prime example, as seen here in Marmaris, southwestern Türkiye—the region with the highest occurrence of lightning-induced fires in the country
Our latest piece urges the conservation of Central Anatolian grasslands, which are heavily used and now threatened by afforestation. Often misperceived as degraded forests from millennia of human activity, these ecosystems deserve recognition and protection! www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
Ok here’s a thread of feeds that aren’t topic themed but utilitarian and do things like show you different versions of your timeline or provide services that should be official Bluesky features. 🧵

Dolayısıyla artan çalı örtüsü de şiddetli yangın riski arttırmış. Makalenin sonucunda yazarlar geleneksel yakma yöntemlerinin yangın yönetiminde nasıl etkili olabileceğini ve bu yöntemlerin modern yangın yönetimi stratejilerine eklenmesinin faydalı olabileceğini vurguluyor.
Yerlilerin bu "kültürel yangın" olarak bilinen düşük yoğunluklu ateş yakma alışkanlığı, çalı örtüsü yoğunluğunu azaltarak yangın riskini düşürüyordu. Fakat İngiliz kolonizasyonu sonrası, bu uygulamanın sona ermesiyle çalı örtüsü daha önce hiç görülmemiş %35 seviyesine yükselmiş.
Science dergisinde çıkan yeni bir makale kültürel yakmaların yangın kontrolündeki önemini tekrar gösterdi. Çalışma önce Avustralya'nın güneydoğusunda Holosen'deki yerli nüfusun artmasıyla çalı örtüsünde %50'ye varan bir azalma olduğunu göstermiş bit.ly/4hPCT7F
What makes Bluesky better :
the timeline does NOT Auto-refresh!
The United States has oligarchs now.
Not merely rich people with more personal influence on politics than poorer people have, but a few extremely rich people closely connected to the national leader who act in government-like roles despite never being elected or nominated to any official position.
