Lorenzo Marchi, researcher at the CNR IRPI, is doing a research visit at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (GeoFluv Geomorphology and Fluvial Research Group) in Beer-Sheva (Israel). The visit (from 7 January to 28 February) is partly supported by the Short-Term Mobility 2017 program of CNR. The scientific mission is carried on in the frame of researches developed at the Ben-Gurion University on the morphological evolution of alluvial fans on the west bank of the Dead Sea, which are undergoing fast incision in response to base level fall.
