Magma is transported and stored in the crust mostly through networks of planar structures
(intrusive sheets), ranging from vertical dykes to inclined sheets and horizontal sills, and …

Twenty years of continuous Earth observation by satellite SAR have resulted in numerous
new insights into active volcanism, including a better understanding of subsurface magma …

The accuracy of elastic analytical solutions and numerical models, widely used in
volcanology to interpret surface ground deformation, depends heavily on the Young's …

Observations of active dike intrusions provide present day snapshots of the magmatic
contribution to continental rifting. However, unravelling the contributions of upper crustal …

Nyiragongo and Nyamuragira are two active volcanoes of the Western branch of the East
African Rift in the Virunga area. They were built at the Kivu rift axis ca. 12,000 years ago and …

Nyamulagira and Nyiragongo are two of the most active volcanoes in Africa, but their
eruptive histories are poorly known. Assessing lava flow volumes in the region remains …

Restless silicic calderas present major geological hazards, and yet many also host
significant untapped geothermal resources. In East Africa, this poses a major challenge …

Volcanoes are often remote, and have footprints that may extend across many hundreds or
thousands of square kilometres. They are generally inaccessible during eruption, and may …

In the frame of the Belgian GeoRisCA multi-risk assessment project focusing on the Kivu and
northern Tanganyika rift region in Central Africa, a new probabilistic seismic hazard …

As our ability to detect volcanic unrest improves, we are increasingly confronted with the
question of whether the unrest has a magmatic origin (magma on the move) or a non …
