This work deals with the tectonic interpretation of an alignment of more than 300 sinkholes stretching along the Jordanian coast of the DeadSea, Ghor Al Haditha area. Sinkholes appeared during the last decades as a consequence of the very rapid

A geophysical study has been carried out in the DeadSea (DS) coastal area of Israel and Jordan with the goal of better understanding the development of sinkholes in the area. The following surface geophysical methods have been applied: (1) Seismic
This paper discusses the interpretation of ground motions detected in the dried up Lynch Strait, DeadSea area, by applying radar interferometric techniques to ALOS Palsar Synthetic Aperture Radar images. Four ALOS scenes spanning from December 15

The AA. reconstruct the drainage system development in northern Israel west of the DeadSea Transform and Rift (DSTR) valley, and explain this development in relation to tectonic activity that took place in the region during the Quaternary
Soil organic matter (SOM) was monitored at 5 sites along a climatic transect extending from the Judean Mountains to the DeadSea. The A. aims at analyzing the typical characteristics of SOM in different climatic regions, and analyzing deviations
. The clusters of floods around 1000 years BP and again during the last 60 years are characterized by high flow magnitudes. Periods with many floods correspond well to periods with high DeadSea levels and are probably relatively wet periods. Fluctuations
the Judean Desert to the arid area near the DeadSea in the East. In addition, the AA. will show that general relationships established under Mediterranean and arid climatic zones can also be applied in contrasted environments.
The study was carried out at 7 research sites along a climatic transect extending from the Judean Mountains towards the DeadSea in Israel. These sites represent 4 climatic regions. The AA. aim to investigate the long-term influence of mean climatic

This report examines recent developments in relation to present (and anticipated future) sea level, Quaternary sea-level fluctuations, the response of coastal landforms to sea-level change and the use of biological indicators of sea-level change.

The aim of this study is to clarify the relationships between the variability in sea ice area in the Sea of Okhotsk during the sea ice disappearance period, and the variability in the atmospheric circulation around the sea of Okhotsk during
the early summer, focused on the effects of the sea ice on the atmosphere. A strengthening of the Okhotsk anticyclone is presumed to be related to variability in the decrease in sea ice in the Sea of Okhotsk.
