Project of Modeling the Relationship Between Radon Gas Concentrations and Seismic Activities in the Anatolian and Eurasian Plates in the Istanbul-Adalar Segment of the North Anatolian Fault Zone using Artificial Intelligence

We are carrying out our project titled "Modelling the Relationship between Radon Gas Concentrations and Seismic Activities in the Anatolian and Eurasian Plates in the Istanbul-Adalar Segment of the North Anatolian Fault Zone with Artificial Intelligence" with the support of TÜBİTAK 1001 Project Grant. Our team comprises a wide range of academics from institutions such as Yıldız Technical University, Ege University, Kocaeli University, and Süleyman Demirel University.

In this project, we aim to scientifically understand the relationship between radon gas concentration changes and earthquake activities. This study represents an approach supported by scientific knowledge and technology in minimizing earthquake risks.

The main objective of this project is to model the relationship between anomalies in radon gas concentration, determined through a variational long-short term memory autoencoder method that takes into account multiple parameters (humidity, temperature, pressure) for the Anatolian and Eurasian plates on both sides of the Adalar segment along the northern branch of the North Anatolian Fault passing through the Marmara Sea, and seismic activities.

MISSION: Our mission is to understand the relationship between radon gas concentrations and earthquake activities and provide reliable, scientifically-based guidance to minimize earthquake risks.

VISION: Our vision is to assist our government in enhancing measures related to earthquake risk and provide effective solutions to minimize earthquake risks through our scientific discoveries supported by artificial intelligence modeling and other technological tools.
