Very High Resolution ground displacement mapping and monitoring over the Lisan Peninsula: Preliminary Results

The Lisan peninsula is about 15 by 25 km . Two well-contrasted zones are distinguished: a triangularshape tableland corresponding to a former “peninsula”, at the time when the Dead Sea was composed of two sub-basins connected by the shallow Lynch strait and a wave-cut platform that emerged from the 1970s. Since the 1980s, the Dead Sea is only constituted by the northern deeper sub-basin.
