DOI: 10.1007/s00024-019-02211-6
Abstract: The magnetic signature of subsurface geology is crucial for understanding the crustal structure and its composition. Marine and aeromagnetic surveys deliver low-resolution regional coverage with a high cost. Ground surveys by walking are much cheaper,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00531-017-1549-7
Abstract: The sinistral displacement along the Dead Sea Transform (DST), the plate boundary between the African and the Arabian plates, south of the Dead Sea basin, was previously attributed to two main fault zones: the Arava/Araba… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10950-020-09927-2
Abstract: In this study, we derive the characteristics of high-frequency attenuation and excitation of ground motion for the Dead Sea Basin (DSB) area by regressing the peak amplitudes of narrowband-filtered velocity seismograms measured around the shear… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geomorph.2020.107525
Abstract: Abstract Evaporite karst is intensively developing at the Dead Sea (DS), both along its western and eastern shores. The collapse of overlying sediments into evaporite karst cavities results in sinkhole formation. The dissolution is produced… read more here.
