520 3 _aThis book begins by presenting an overview of the karst problem worldwide, and examines Dead Sea evaporite karst, including its features and methods of investigation, a review of geophysical methods for karst investigation and features of geophysics for investigation of different aspects of the Dead Sea karst and sinkholes, respectively. The authors present practically all geophysical methods that have been applied. The book shows the potential of geophysical methods for resolving real problems of karst. The description of different aspects of the problem and justification of the necessity to understand the phenomenon in the relationship with the geology and hydrogeology of specific regions represents one of the main parts of the book.

545 _aMichael G. Ezersky received a professional engineering degree (MSc) in rock physics from Moscow Mining Institute (Russia) in 1972 and PhD in Geophysics from Institute of Physics of the Earth, of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow). He began his career with Designing, Surveying and Research Institute Hydroproject, named after S Y Zhuk (Moscow). His duties during his 22-year tenure included directing of seismic-acoustic R&D projects and surveys in the construction of Hydro Power Stations in Russia and abroad. His geophysical researches were associated with investigations of high dam foundations, large underground halls and tunnels. After immigrating to Israel in 1995, he accepted the position of researcher-geophysicist and from 2005 of Senior Researcher (grade 'A') in Geophysical Institute of Israel. His professional interests are in engineering and environmental geophysics and archaeology. During the past fifteen years, he has led research projects connected with developing geophysical methods and tools for mitigation of the Dead Sea sinkhole problem. Dr Ezersky has written numerous papers dealing with underground mechanics, archaeology, environmental geophysics and hydrogeology. He was an active member of EAGE, IRMA, and IGS. Lev V. Eppelbaum received an MSc from the Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University (ASOIU) in 1982 and a PhD from the Inst. of Geophysics (Azerbaijan), the Geophysical Inst. of Georgia, and the Geological Prospecting University (Moscow) in 1989. From 1982-90, he worked as a geophysicist, Researcher, and Senior Researcher at the Southern Branch of the All-Union Institute of Geophysics in Baku (Azerbaijan). From 1991-93 Eppelbaum completed postdoctoral studies in the Department of Geophysics and Planetary Sciences at Tel Aviv University; currently, he is a Research Professor at the Department of Geophysics. He is the author of about 420 publications, including ten books and more than 175 articles. His scientific interests cover potential (magnetic, gravity, thermal, and self-potential) and quasi-potential geophysical field analysis in complex geological-geophysical environments, integrated geophysical and geological data interpretation, tectonic, geodynamic, and paleomagnetic reconstructions. He was awarded 'The Knight of the Science and Arts', and V. Vernadsky medal of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences in 2017 and 2018, respectively. In 2019, Lev Eppelbaum was awarded the Christian Huygens medal of the European Geosciences Union, and in 2020 he was awarded the Honorary Professor of the ASOIU. An International Scientific Base 'ResearchGate' shows the total number of his downloaded (read) publications as close to 210 000. In May 2022, he was elected a Foreign Member of the Georgian National Academy of Sciences. Anatoly V. Legchenko graduated in the former USSR as an engineer in computer sciences and electronics. He gained his PhD diploma in physics and mathematics in 1992. For 15 years he worked in Russia in the field of hardware and software development for geophysical prospecting, mainly focusing on nuclear magnetic resonance applications. In 1995, Anatoly moved to France and in 2001 he obtained a Diploma in geophysics from the University Paris VI (France): 'Habilitation �a diriger les recherches (sciences de la terre)' (HDR). In 1995, he joined the Bureau de Recherches G�eologiques et Mini�eres (BRGM, France) and in 2003 moved to the Institute de Recherche pour le D�eveloppement (IRD, France) always working as a geophysicist. He is now a Senior Scientist attached to the 'L'universit�e Grenoble-Alpes' (Grenoble, France).
