Earthquake Swarms Triggered by Groundwater Extraction Near the Dead Sea Fault

Abstract In 2013 and 2018, earthquake swarms with a maximum moment magnitude of 4.5 occurred ~5 km from the northern section of the Dead Sea Transform Fault. Here we show that aquifer pressure data, interferometric synthetic aperture radar surface deformation time series, and seismic monitoring sugg...
