Synopsis

Located at the tectonically active irregular boundary between the Mediterranean and Arabic plates, at a negative elevation of over 400 metres below sea level, the Dead Sea serves as a laboratory for many phenomena. Not only does the Sea provide a modern analog for ancient pull-apart basins, it also allows us to examine the process of evaporite deposition from deep water, and provides insight into the adaptive ability of the life forms living in its hypersaline brine. Developed from the conference "The Dead Sea - A Summary of Recent Research" organized by the Dead Sea Research Centre at Tel Aviv University in 1992, this book presents both papers presented at the conference, and chapters written specifically for this book. The authors are all recognized experts in their fields.
