Over the past two decades, multidisciplinary studies have unearthed a rich history of
volcanic activity and unrest in the densely-populated East African Rift System, providing new …

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 …

Continental rifting is initiated by a dynamic interplay between tectonic stretching and mantle
upwelling. Decompression melting assists continental breakup through lithospheric …

Despite the foundational role East Africa has played in the advancement of our
understanding of continental rifting, there remains substantial ambiguity as to how …

Geophysical and petrological probes are key to understanding the structure and the
thermochemical state of active magmatic systems. Recent advances in laboratory analyses …

Abstract Bora-Baricha-Tullu Moye is a Late Quaternary volcanic system in the Main
Ethiopian Rift, characterised by products of both explosive and effusive volcanic eruptions …

Understanding magma storage and differentiation in the East African Rift underpins our
understanding of volcanism in continental rift settings. Here, we present the geochemistry of …

Accurate models of H2O and CO2 solubility in silicate melts are vital for understanding
volcanic plumbing systems. These models are used to estimate the depths of magma …

We present a detailed petrologic study of rhyolites from seven eruptions spanning the full (∼
190 ky) history of rhyolitic volcanism at Krafla volcano, northeast Iceland. The eruptions vary …

Abstract The Main Ethiopian Rift is part of the East African Rift with its unique geological
setting as an active continental breakup zone. The Main Ethiopian Rift includes a number of …
