I am Zeki Bora Ön, a lecturer and researcher at Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University (Türkiye). My academic background bridges mathematics, statistics, and Earth system science, with a focus on developing and applying Bayesian and stochastic methods to paleoclimate and environmental data.
After completing my undergraduate education in Mathematics (Boğaziçi University), I moved into Geology/Earth Sciences, earning an M.Sc. at Muğla University and a Ph.D. in Earth Science at Istanbul Technical University (İTÜ). My research revolves around extracting climate information from complex proxy records (e.g., geochemical time series), quantifying uncertainty, and testing hypotheses about past climate variability—such as abrupt events and long-term hydroclimate change—using hierarchical models, change-point methods, and related probabilistic tools.
I currently work on topics including paleoclimate and hydroclimate reconstructions, Bayesian change-point analysis, hierarchical modeling, and imputation of incomplete proxy records, and I teach undergraduate and graduate courses in statistics, probability, programming, and related quantitative methods.
