AI-generated Abstract

The characterization of seismic activity along the Dead Sea Transform (DST) is critical for understanding earthquake risks in the region. This study focuses on the Jordan Gorge segment, revealing a detailed palaeoseismic record through 3D trenching. Findings indicate significant historical slip events, with notable offsets in archaeological structures, and provide valuable insights into the slip rates and geophysical processes shaping this tectonically active area.
