1 New Modes of Sinkhole Formation along the Dead Sea Shorelines (Israel): Observations from InSAR, LiDAR, Time-lapse Camera, and Water Analysis G. Baer, Y. Avni, M. Shviro, R. Nof, I. Gavrieli, N. Lensky, Y. Yechieli, I. Haviv, E. Dente Geological Survey of Israel, Ben Gurion University, Geophysical Institute of Israel, Hebrew University, Jerusalem Fringe 2015 InSAR workshop, March, 2015, ESA-ESRIN Frascati, Italy
2 Overview Sinkhole formation mechanism along the Dead Sea Sinkhole hazards and precursory subsidence New modes of Seasonal sinkholes: 1. Along active riverbeds 2. Away from active riverbeds Fringe 2015 InSAR workshop, March, 2015, ESA-ESRIN Frascati, Italy

21 Interim summary Flash-floods drain into existing or newly formed sinkholes Subsurface salt dissolves rapidly New sinkholes are formed and the overlying ground subsides Additional ponding areas and conduits form Accelerated subsidence and more sinkholes Subsurface water flow at velocity of ~ 500 m/hr (~ 15 cm/sec)

33 Away from active riverbeds: 1. Groundwater level rises during a period of several months after rain storms 2. Salt layers dissolve as water level rises 3. Subsidence occurs, followed by sinkholes 4. Process is repeated after each rain storm
34 In Summary Two complementary seasonal sinkhole formation modes: out 1. Along active channels: Immediate acceleration due to direct drainage of flood water to the underlying salt layer and gradual recovery within weeks to several months Revealed and analysed by time-series InSAR 2. Away from active channels: Post-winter groundwater-level rise, gradual increase in subsidence rates into the midsummer, and gradual recovery within several months Avni et al., in prep.
