... the sedimentary basin. Results indicate that two basin-scale ground-water systems, one atop the other but with opposite flow directions, coexisted in the Dead Sea rift valley. The first is a topography-driven flow of meteoric water from the surrounding highlands toward the rift through relatively shallow aquifers...

.... However, within the seismically active Dead Sea Basin, the late Pleistocene Lisan Formation contains vertical clastic dikes that are sheared laterally at maximum depths of 15 m, and thereby provide unique profiles of such horizontal displacement. In order to investigate how coseismic horizontal shearing...

.... Therefore, it is necessary to complement the limited instrumental data with synthetic data based on computational modeling, in order to study the effects of earthquake ground motion in these sedimentary basins. In this research we performed a 2D ground‐motion analysis in the Dead Sea Basin ( DSB ) using...

... verify this association via the collection of regional slump data in a relatively controlled setting. The potential to walk around the intact Dead Sea Basin at c . 425 m below mean sea level provides a perhaps unparalleled opportunity to undertake such verification via the direct examination of slump...

... Abstract The late Pleistocene in the Dead Sea Basin is one of the most studied and well-dated under-filled lacustrine deposits in the world and therefore provides a unique opportunity for analyzing individual controlling factors by applying field data into a forward model. The analysis...

... that were deposited in the Dead Sea Basin during the Pliocene. The precipitation of the rock salts took place in the hypersaline sabkha environment of the Sedom Lagoon. The extensive evaporative conditions are related to an extremely dry and warm arid climate at that time. In the arid climate, the influx...

... of the late Pleistocene and Holocene sedimentary records of the Dead Sea basin. This mainly includes solutions for the problem of detrital U and Th and aqueous (initial) Th in the Lisan carbonates and the evaluation of “reservoir ages” in the determination of carbonate radiocarbon ages. The calendar U-Th...

... This paper summarizes the research efforts devoted over the years to the understanding of the origin and evolution of brines in the Dead Sea basin. These brines are characterized by a unique Ca-Chloride composition, which evolved from interaction of evaporated seawater filling the late Neogene...

...YUVAL BARTOV; AMIR SAGY Abstract A newly discovered active small-scale pull-apart (Mor structure), located in the western part of the Dead Sea Basin, shows recent basin-parallel extension and strike-slip faulting, and offers a rare view of pull-apart internal structure. The Mor structure is bounded...

... on adjacent urbanized areas. The San Andreas Fault (SAF), the Dead Sea Transform (DST), the North Anatolian Transform, and the Alpine Fault (New Zealand) are good examples for that, because they cross densely populated areas. Commonly, sedimentary basins develop along these strike‐slip systems...

... in the area. The present en echelon main faults of the Dead Sea transform are observed in the seismic data as wide zones of deformation rather than as distinct fault planes. A similar zone of deformation is observed in the center of the Kinarot basin and may be associated with an extinct trace of the main...
