Kudos to Riddle & Parker for Dead Sea: A History of Change

A.D. Riddle and David Parker have been honored by the North American Cartographic Information Society for their Dead Sea: A History of Change. Congratulations. I used this great resource a couple of days ago.

Our earlier post is here.

The Dead Sea may be the most fascinating body of water on earth. It lies along the Great Rift (Afro-Arabian Rift), and is the lowest body of water on earth. A.D. Riddle and David Parker have created a relief map showing the level of the Dead Sea from 3500 B.C. to the present. The authors explain how they made the map at the site.
