Abstract
The Dead Sea ecosystem, with its hypersaline conditions, base-level fluctuations, and active tectonics, presents a unique challenge for geological studies. Its equilibrium is increasingly unbalanced due to overexploitation of water and mineral resources. Remote sensing, including drone-based photogrammetry and satellite imaging, monitors large-scale surface changes, while geophysical methods like electromagnetic and seismic surveys reveal subsurface structures. The integration of these methods has transformed our understanding. Combined studies now monitor hazards such as sinkholes, subsidence, and landslides with greater precision. Advances in artificial intelligence further enhance analysis by processing vast datasets to uncover previously undetectable trends. This synergy between remote sensing, geophysics, and AI offers efficient solutions for studying the disrupted ecosystem. Critical challenges include environmental degradation, rapid water loss, and sinkhole formation, threatening infrastructure, industries, and habitats. Remote sensing has been pivotal in monitoring and mitigating these hazards. Together with geophysics, it provides a robust framework for addressing these extreme conditions. By combining these methods, researchers gain valuable insights into the unique dynamics of the Dead Sea ecosystem, advancing scientific knowledge and supporting sustainable management strategies.
