Seismic structure of the Arava Fault, Dead Sea Transform
… transversales Störungssystem im Nahen Osten, die Dead Sea Transform (DST), trennt die Arabische Platte von der Sinai-Mikroplatte und erstreckt sich von Süden nach Norden vom Extensionsgebiet im Roten Meer über das Tote Meer bis zur Taurus-Zagros Kollisionszone. Die sinistrale DST bildete sich im …

Noble gas isotopic signatures in thermal waters of the Dead Sea Transform, Israel
… in thermal waters from different areas along the Dead Sea Transform in Israel reveals local intrusions of volatile gases and heat flux from the mantle into the crust. The distinct 3He/4He ratios in the atmosphere, crust and mantle enable one to separate the total helium concentration into mantle, …

Reconstructing climate from the Dead Sea sediment record using high-resolution micro-facies analyses
The sedimentary record of the Dead Sea is a key archive for reconstructing climate in the eastern Mediterranean region, as it stores the environmental and tectonic history of the Levant for the entire Quaternary. Moreover, the lake is located at the boundary between Mediterranean sub-humid to …

The idea of sin-impurity : the Dead Sea Scrolls in the light of Leviticus
… (particularly Leviticus) I then examine the Dead Sea Scrolls and explore how �the redefined perception of sinimpurity in biblical texts can reshape our understanding of the concept at Qumran. It is being argued that the close analysis of the Qumran writings in the light of biblical evidence …

Present-day and late Quaternary crustal deformation along the southern Dead Sea Fault System, Jordan
… investigates fault kinematics along the southern Dead Sea fault using tectonic geodesy and late Quaternary slip estimates. The Dead Sea fault is the left-lateral transform bounding the Arabia and Sinai plates in the eastern Mediterranean region. Two main segments comprise the southern DSF: the …

Structural observations at the southern Dead Sea Transform from seismic reflection data and ASTER satellite images
… Teil des multidisziplinären Projektes DESERT (DEad SEa Rift Transect), welches seit dem Jahr 2000 im Nahen Osten durchgeführt wird. Dabei geht es primär um die Struktur der südlichen Dead Sea Transform (DST; Tote-Meer-Transformstörung), Plattengrenze zwischen Afrika (Sinai) und der Arabischen …

Tracking the Continuity of the Leviticus Laws of Genital Fluids in the Dead Sea Scrolls and Rabbinic Literature
… caused by genital fluxes as attested in the Dead Sea Scrolls and rabbinic literature to shed light on the state of halakhah in the pre-rabbinic stage. Using the five impurity categories of genital fluxes outlined in Lev 15 and 12, this study demonstrates the Dead Sea Scrolls' relevance as a …

Paleoseismology and Archaeoseismology along the Southern Dead Sea Transform in Wadi 'Arabah Near the municipality of Aqaba, Jordan
… because it is situated directly along the active Dead Sea transform, and because the area has a long history of human occupation. The region is rich in archaeological ruins as a result, many of which have been damaged by earthquakes in the historic past. An archaeoseismic excavation conducted at …

Time-dependent occurrence rates of large earthquakes in the Dead Sea fault zone and applications to probabilistic seismic hazard assessments
… seismische Aktivität der Tote-Meer-Störungszone (Dead Sea Fault Zone - DSFZ) ist mit einem hohen Gefahrenpotential verbunden, welches zu einem erheblichen Erdbebenrisiko für die Ballungszentren in den Ländern Syrien, Libanon, Palästina, Jordanien und Israel führt. Eine Vielzahl massiver, …

Interpretation of Potential Fields by Modern Data Processing and 3-dimensional gravity Modeling of the Dead Sea Pull-Apart Basin / Jordan Rift Valley (JRV)
… (1968). 3D modeling of gravity data in the Dead Sea basin (DSB) was used together with existing geological and geophysical information to give a complete structural picture of the basin. The 3D models of the DSB show that the internal structure of the Dead Sea basin (DSB) is controlled by …

A Critical Assessment of the Portrayal of Women in the Dead Sea Scrolls Sectarian Rule Texts, and of the Evidence for the Presence of Women in the Qumran Community
The Dead Sea Scrolls were found between 1947 and 1956 in eleven caves close to the site of Qumran, which lies in the north-west area of the Dead Sea. The scrolls date from between the 3rd century BCE and the 1st century CE, and had remained in the caves untouched for some 2000 years. The aims of …

Manufacturing History and Identity: A Study on the Teacher of Righteousness, Collective Memory, and Tradition at Qumran
The Dead Sea Scrolls corpus presents a leadership figure presiding over the Qumran movement known only by the sobriquet "Teacher of Righteousness." This shadowy character has garnered a significant amount of scholarly attention due to its extraordinary role in the formation and maintenance of …

Investigating laminated sediments of the Al-Azraq basin, Jordan and the implications for paleoenvironmental variability
This research examines cored sediments recovered from the Al-Azraq basin, Jordan for laminated sediments. Laminated sediments have long been recognized from the Dead Sea basin, and determined to be varved deposits, or seasonal couplets forming annual deposits. A current debate in the literature …

Calcium isotope insight into the global carbon cycle
… I report my work in the glacial precursor to the Dead Sea. Here, the calcium isotope composition of aragonite varies synchronously with lake level fluctuations over the last 70,000 years. My numerically reconstructed lake calcium budget led me to conclude that 20,000 years ago, the Dead Sea was …

Analysis and Modelling of Desalination Brines
Seawater desalination constitutes an important water supply to the population bordering the Arabian Gulf, the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. The three regions represent about 11.8% of the world land area and the countrieshosted approximately 9% of the world population in 1950 and 2008 and are …

"A nation of priests" : the world-view of the Temple scroll and its application to the way of life prescribed in the sectarian scrolls from Qumran
Too often in the study of the Dead Sea Scrolls the relationship between the Temple Scroll and the sectarian scrolls is dismissed as minimal, or non-existent due to one of two general lines of reasoning. The first line of reasoning begins with the premise that whereas the Temple Scroll is concerned …
