ASSESSMENT OF COASTLINE CHANGE OF LAKES OF GALA NATIONAL PARK (NW TURKEY) WITH MULTI-TEMPORAL SATELLITE IMAGESKeywords: Gala Milli Park?,K?y? ?eridi de?i?imi,Uzaktan Alg?lama,hidroloji Abstract: Gala national park is a unique wetland and hosts different species of birds and fish. For a sustainable natural life in the park, environmental issues should be monitored. Coastline change 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 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 km2 and 1.341 km2 to 5.147 km2 and 1.295 km2, respectively, between 1977 and 2011 with an average value of % 2.2
