Large-amplitude changes in water-levels facilitate earthquake-triggered mass failures in the Dead Sea Basin

A recent study investigated seismogenic mass failure deposits that were preserved in a 457-m deep ICDP drilling (220-0 ka) from the Dead Sea depocenter. The study conducted a critical assessment and testing of the links between the occurrence of seismogenic mass failure, changes in water-level, and sedimentation rate driven by a changing climate. 1. Key Points:• At the orbital- and millennial-scale, variable sedimentation rates are not a preconditioning factor for earthquake-triggered mass failures• At the centennial- to decadal-scale, earthquake-triggered mass
