ABSTRACT
In
our research we will develop a time series model for rainfall data
in Jordan using the existing historical rainfall data for Jordan.
These data will be used to build and calibrate the model; the last
15 years rainfall data will be used to calibrate the model. Then
this model will be tested against the upcoming 12 months period.
This model will help the decision makers set priorities in terms of
water resources management in Jordan.

ABSTRACT
Twelve radon lines
of dosimeters (detectors) were placed across the Jordan Valley
active fault, which is a segment of the active Dead Sea transform
fault system. Each line of the dosimeters shows one or more peak of
radon anomaly concentrations. Some of these peaks prove the
intersection of the fault trace with these lines in areas, where the
fault plane is inferred. In other lines, the peaks correspond to the
arrangement of faults in areas of pull-apart basins (sag ponds) or
pressure ridges, formed due to the left or right step of the Jordan
Valley fault. Sag ponds usually show low radon emanations, because
they are the place for the accumulation of very fine sediments,
which decreases their porosity and hence the upward migration of the
radon gas. The northern part of the Jordan Valley generally shows
higher radon emanation than the southern part, which could be
attributed to the presence of a seismic gap in the upper Jordan
valley.

ABSTRACT
The Ordovician
succession outcrops in the southern desert of Jordan and comprises
400m of siliciclastic sediments of the Hiswa, Dubaydib and Mudawwara
Formations. The interaction of the fair weather and storm-wave
conditions was responsible for their accumulation. Deposition of the
Late Ordovician-Early Silurian (440-430 Ma) sediments in southern
Jordan was influenced by glaciation. This project explained the
depositional environments and processes before, during and after
glaciation by looking in detail at the stratigraphy, and sedimentary
facies.

ABSTRACT
This project aims to study the stratigraphy and tectonics of
the various fans in Wadi Araba, and to create a tectono-facies model
for the alluvial fans built outwardly from listric fault bounded
half-graben basinal margin. Prediction of possible natural hazards
caused by the alluvial fan processes including land slides, slope
avalanches, catastrophic sediment gravity flows, sheet floods,
debris flows and mud flows that can quickly cover the roads on the
scarce populated areas. Studying the importance of Wadi Araba
alluvial fans as a source of groundwater in the prevailing arid
region, resembling aquifers used currently in Wadi Rahma and Qatar
villages in Wadi Araba. Proving that alluvial fans in Wadi Araba can
be employed as indicators of the Dead Sea Transform fault evolution,
and their importance as a valuable record of seismic (earthquake)
activities along Wadi Araba-Dead Sea Transform, and Proving that
these alluvial fans are possible indicators of climatic changes.
