Popis: Thermal surveys of the Dead Sea -Arava Valley area have been conducted in order to investigate the present-day geothermal characteristics of the sedimentary cover. Horizontal geothermal gradients have been assessed, and heat-absorbing and heat-radiating intervals have been identified. The second temperature versus depth derivative is used as an index of the thermal state of the sedimentary cover. Average vertical gradients are low, and vary between 20
