The Dead Sea Fault is an active transform fault linking opening in the Red Sea with collision
in the Taurus/Zagros Mountains. Motion is left-lateral and estimated at approximately 5–7 …

The easternmost Mediterranean is a distinct transition zone from the ocean to the continent
located at the junction between the largest Earth's lithospheric segments: Eurasian and …

Restraining-and releasing bends with similar morphology and structure have been
described by many previous studies of strike-slip faults in a variety of active and ancient …

Actualistic plate‐tectonic models are the best framework within which to understand the
tectonics of sedimentary basins. Sedimentary basins develop in divergent, intraplate …

Plio-Pleistocene volcanism in the Golan and Galilee (northeastern Israel) shows systematic
variability with time and location: alkali basalts were erupted in the south during the Early …

Three-dimensional excavations of buried stream channels that have been displaced by the
Jordan Fault, the primary strand of the Dead Sea fault zone in northern Israel, demonstrate …

This paper presents an updated summary of the history and shallow structure of the Dead
Sea transform (DST) and its plate tectonic context. The DST formed in the Early Miocene as …

Large‐scale crustal deformation in the Levant is mainly related to the DST and the CFS. The
former is an active left lateral transform, bounding the Arabian plate and the Sinai sub‐plate …

We present a methodology for mapping faults that constitute a potential hazard to structures,
with an emphasis on ground shake hazards and on surface rupture nearby critical facilities …

Subduction plays a fundamental role in plate tectonics and when interrupted it may trigger a
series of geodynamic and sedimentary responses. Synchronous structural modifications …
