Deformed Layers at the En Gedi Trench

observed in 2018 and 2023 by Jefferson Williams

• Source and Links


• Collected by Jefferson Williams


• Location


• See site in Google Earth
• En Gedi Trench is ~40 m SSW of the En Gedi core (DS-En)


• Column Explanations


• Top Depth has link to a photo of the sample in field
• Mosaic photos may have artifacts (abrupt changes vertically or horizontally)
• Deformation Type as defined by Wetzler et al (2010) :
  1 - Linear Waves
  2 - Asymmetric Billows
  3 - Coherent Vortices
  4 - Brecciated
• Intensity Estimates (Iest) are based on :
  Lu20 - Fig. 3D of Lu et al (2020) (modified from Wetzler et al (2010))
  Wetz10 - Fig. 4 of Wetzler et al (2010)
