Zusammenfassung
The Dead Sea Rift Transect (DESERT 2000) is a multinational and interdisciplinary
study of the Dead Sea Rift.The project began fieldwork in February
2000 and the first experiments were successfully completed in May.
The seismic, seismological, and magnetotelluric experiments presented
here, along with the future electromagnetic, gravity, magnetic, geodynamic,
and geological studies, will provide the basic geophysical and geodynamic
frame for further geoscientific research. DESERT 2000 should also
help address a fundamental question of plate tectonics: How do shear
zones work and what controls them?
