Project Consultant

Other information

Dr. Gurler has over 15 years of consulting, teaching and research experience in the geophysical field, mainly in earthquake analysis and disaster mitigation techniques for reducing seismic hazards. Her areas of expertise include strong ground motion waveform modeling in three dimensions considering near source and site effects with realistic subsurface layers; variation of peak ground acceleration and velocity at the ground surface; microzonation and seismic hazard mapping; deterministic and probabilistic earthquake analyses; and vulnerability investigation for structures using microtremors for microzonation and land-use planning. She has extensive knowledge of the earthquake hazards in Turkey, Japan, Mexico and Italy, and has managed several projects in these countries. She has conducted field studies for small to large-scale residential, commercial and historical buildings, as well as some essential facilities for hazard mitigation studies in Japan and Turkey. Her skills include the use of a wide range of computer software. She worked in Tokyo, Japan for four years as part of Japan 's disaster mitigation group and is fluent in Turkish and Japanese.
