ASSESSMENT OF COASTLINE CHANGE OF LAKES OF GALA NATIONAL PARK (NW TURKEY) WITH MULTI-TEMPORAL SATELLITE IMAGES

Abstract

Gala Lake national park is an A Class International Wetland and hosts different species of birds and fish. For a sustainable natural life in the park, environmental issues should be monitored. Coastline change detection is one of the important tasks of environmental monitoring. Geology, hydrogeology and hydrology are the important factors that affect coastline change. This study aims to determine the coastline change of Gala and Pamuklu lakes in Gala Lake national park with multi temporal satellite images of Landsat MSS, Landsat TM and Landsat ETM+ which were acquired between 1977 and 2011. The reasons of the changes of the coastline and the surface areas of both lakes has been investigated with geological, hydrogeological and hydrological data. Research has shown that the primary factors controlling coastline change of both lakes are precipitation and evaporation. The surface areas of both Gala and Pamuklu Lake decreased from 5.196 km^2 and 1.341 km^2 to 5.147 km^2 and 1.295 km^2 , respectively, between 1977 and 2011 with an average value of % 2.2.
