  abstract = {{W}e analyzed the catalog of instrumental recordings of seismic activity from 1900 to 2010 along the {D}ead {S}ea {T}ransform. {T}he seismicity pattern reveals significant activity confined to 5 main sections of the transform. {I}n all the sections of the transform there is a significant amount of seismic activity at depths of 9–10 km (lower part of the upper crust). {T}he seismic activity extends to large depths of 20 km and more, where about 30 % of the seismic activity occurs in the lower crust, especially in the {D}ead {S}ea basin and the {A}rava {V}alley. {T}he deep seismicity is correlative with previous low heat flow measurements along the transform, and thus suggesting a relatively cold crust. {W}e analyzed more than 4,300 {S}-wave spectra of earthquakes in the magnitude range is 0.8 ≤ {M}d ≤ 6.2, with {M}0 values ranging from 3.1x1011 {N} · m to 5.4x1018 {N} · m, and {B}rune stress drop estimates, Δσ, between 0.1 {MP}a and 15 {MP}a. {T}he total seismic moment release in the years 1900–2010 in the {D}ead {S}ea {T}ransform due to all the earthquakes, including the earthquake in 1927, is only a fraction of the expected seismic moment release.},
