Shallow architecture of the Wadi Araba fault (Dead Sea Transform) from high-resolution seismic investigations
In a high-resolution small-scale seismic experiment we investigated the shallow structure of the Wadi Araba fault (WAF), the principal fault strand of the Dead Sea Transform System between the Gulf of Aqaba/Eilat and the Dead Sea. The experiment consisted of 8 sub-parallel 1 km long seismic lines crossing the WAF. The recording station spacing was 5 m and the source point distance was 20 m. The...
متن کاملRa and Th adsorption coefficients in lakes — Lake Kinneret ( Sea of Galilee ) ‘ ‘ natural experiment ”
The adsorption rate constants of Ra and Th were estimated from empirical data from a freshwater lake and its feeding saline springs. We utilized the unique setting of Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee, northern Israel) in which most of the Ra and Th nuclides are introduced into the lake by saline springs with high Ra activities and a high Ra/Ra ratio of 1.5. The mixing of the Ra enriched saline wat...
متن کاملQuaternary rise of the Sedom diapir, Dead Sea basin
Mount Sedom is the surface expression of a salt diapir that has emerged since the Pleistocene in the southwestern part of the Dead Sea basin. Milestones in the uplift history of the Sedom salt diapir since its inception were deduced from angular and erosional unconformities, thickness variations, caprock formation, chemistry and isotope composition of lacustrine aragonite, cave morphology, prec...
متن کاملStone age bedding by the Sea of Galilee.
E vidence by Nadel et al. (1), in a recent issue of PNAS, of the world’s oldest bedding at the site of Ohalo II on the edge of the Sea of Galilee is an example of the serendipitous nature of archaeological discovery. During the 1980s and 1990s, drought and pumping of water for domestic and agricultural needs resulted in a serious drop of water level. The falling water level exposed 2,000-year-o...
متن کاملLate Cenozoic uplift along the northern Dead Sea transform in Lebanon and Syria
Evidence of long-term, late Cenozoic uplift, as well as strike-slip faulting, is revealed by topographic and geological features along the northern 500 km of the Dead Sea fault system (DSFS) – the transform boundary between the Arabian and African plates in the eastern Mediterranean region. Macro-geomorphic features are studied using a new, high-resolution (20 meter pixel) digital elevation mod...
