Recently a few bodies have agreed on a joint protocol. These include all part of the LTER, KKL-JNF and the Israeli National Parks Authority (INPA), and the Dead Sea Arava Science Center (ADSSC). We will demonstrate the monitoring and discuss pros and cons of the different methods. It is expected that during November the monitoring will start. Everyone is invited. Starting time
