E012 2D Diffraction Imaging Applied to the Dead Sea Sinkhole Problem D. Pelman* (Geophysical Institute of Israel) M. Ezersky (Geophysical Institute of Israel) & S. Keydar (Geophysical Institute of Israel) SUMMARY The Dead Sea coast suffers from a serious environmental problem: over the last ten years hundreds of sinkholes have appeared along coastal areas in Israel and Jordan. The size of the sinkholes varies from several meters to several tens of meters in diameter and depth. They represent a danger to both life and property and negatively affect building and development in the area. Numerous geophysical investigations carried out in
