The Main Ethiopian Rift is a key sector of the East African Rift System that connects the Afar
depression, at Red Sea–Gulf of Aden junction, with the Turkana depression and Kenya Rift …

Abstract The Cenozoic East African rift (EAR), Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL), and Atlas
Mountains formed on the slow‐moving African continent, which last experienced orogeny …

The kinematic models and the associated orientation of extensional stress of the East
African Rift System have been subjected to much debate since a long time. In the past …

The volcanically active Main Ethiopian rift (MER) marks the transition from continental rifting
in the East African rift to incipient seafloor spreading in Afar. We use new seismicity data to …

This study examines the use of specific mud volcano features (ie, elongated calderas,
aligned vents and elongated volcanoes) as potential indicators of tectonic stress orientation …

In volcanically and seismically active rift systems, preexisting faults may control the rise and
eruption of magma, and direct the flow of hydrothermal fluids and gas in the subsurface …

Recent research in Afar (northern Ethiopia) has largely focused on the formation of the
present‐day ocean‐continent transition at active segments (eg, Manda Hararo). However …

In the Main Ethiopian Rift (East Africa) a complex tectonic history preceded Tertiary rifting
creating pre-existing discontinuities that influenced extension-related deformation …

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

The Main Ethiopian Rift (MER) offers a complete record of the time–space evolution of a
continental rift. We have characterized the brittle deformation in different rift sectors through …
