Dr. İnan Ulusoy
Associate Professor
Hacettepe University
Dept. Geological Engineering
I am a researcher in volcanology at Hacettepe University, Dept. Geological Engineering. My work is mainly focused on the Holocene volcanoes in Türkiye. Using geophysical methods, remote sensing, thermal remote sensing, and volcanology, I am trying to reveal the hydrothermal systems, related structures, physical nature of volcanoes, their current status, and unrest. Happy to be able to work with archaeologists nationwide and be able to blend the volcanoes and archaeo-history from time to time...
I completed my undergraduate and MSc (2002) studies at Hacettepe University, Dept. Geological Engineering, and conducted my PhD (2008) at Hacettepe University, Dept. Geological Engineering & Univ. Blaise Pascal (Clermont-Ferrand II) Laboratoire de Magmas et Volcans. I had a chance to work as a guest researcher at the Dept. of Geology at Lund University (Sweden) between 2008 and 2010.

After a treacherous volcanic eruption during the Bronze Age, curious humans and their canine companions hiked closer to the volcano, where they left footprints in the fine-grained volcanic ash.
New study dates the preserved footprints to 4,700 years ago, a full 245,000 years later than previously suggested.
Thousands of years ago, hominins living in what is now western Turkey witnessed the eruption of the Çakallar volcano. Intrigued by the spectacular sight, walking stick-wielding locals and their canine companions ventured closer, leaving a trail of footprints in the wet ash blanketing the ground.
More than 50 years ago, human footprints were found preserved in volcanic ash near the Çakallar volcano in western Turkey. Since then, experts have tried to figure out when the eruption that cemented the prints in the earth occurred. Now, a team led by geologist İnan Ulusoy of Hacettepe University has produced a definitive answer.
A new study published in the journal PLOS ONE suggests a mural excavated at the Neolithic site of Çatalhöyük in Central Anatolia, Turkey, may be based on the eruption of the nearby twin-coned volcano Mount Hasan around 6900 BC.
A new study of volcanic rocks suggests that an ancient mural may indeed depict an erupting volcano, adding new weight to a theory that this image is a contender for the world's oldest known landscape painting or map.
An international team of paleontologists has unearthed the skull of a large rhino that perished in a volcanic eruption about 9.2 million years ago in what is now Turkey.
About 9.2 million years ago, a teenage two-horned rhinoceros was literally cooked to death when a Mt. Vesuvius-like eruption enveloped it in lava reaching more than 750 degrees Fahrenheit (400 degrees Celsius), scientists say.
