Cluster analysis reveals increasing plume-like magmatism during progressive rifting in Afar (Ethiopia) - Scientific Reports Reconstructing chemical variations of magma during rifting is challenging due to the heterogeneous mantle sources of the melt and different evolution pathways that magma potentially takes. Therefore, ...

Our new study is out in Scientific Reports!
@natureportfolio.nature.com. We use cluster analysis to reveal how the mantle source beneath the Afar Rift (Ethiopia) evolved during continental rifting.

Frontiers | Segmented dike intrusion linked to multi-level magma storage during and before the 2025 eruption at Erta Ale (East Africa) IntroductionDike intrusions can assist continental rifting and plate divergence. However, our understanding of the magma dynamics during diking and the archi...

Following the #HayliGubbi eruption, our paper on the Erta Ale dike of Jun-Jul is finally out. InSAR, optical data and seismicity showed the temporal evolution of the intrusion and the interaction of magmatic sources, including a sill inflation in Hayli Gubbi. @earth-science.bsky.social #geoscience

Cross-scale strain analysis in the Afar rift (East Africa) from automatic fault mapping and geodesy Abstract. The formation of continental rift systems is characterised by the interplay of magmatic and tectonic processes. Their evolution involves a wide range of timescales, from centennial scales of...

Our new study on @egu.eu SE combines automatic fault mapping, geodesy and rock dating to reconstruct the tectonic and magmatic evolution of the Afar rift during the last 4.5 Myrs. @sasbrune.bsky.social @sorcerinsar.bsky.social @derekkeir.bsky.social @gimmi-p.bsky.social @earth-science.bsky.social

Volcanism records plate thinning driven rift localization in Afar (Ethiopia) since 2-2.5 million years ago - Communications Earth & Environment Rapid and localised changes in plate thinning caused by rifting is the primary control on the spatio-temporal distribution of volcanism in the Afar rift, according to argon dating of volcanic rocks fr...
