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
Thrilled that this paper is finally out. It's been a long time in the making! Thanks to all the team members who have helped make it possible.
IntroductionDike intrusions can assist continental rifting and plate divergence. However, our understanding of the magma dynamics during diking and the archi...
Good to see this large scale Alpine Himalayan Belt velocity map and strain rate paper now reviewed and published.
@timwrightleeds.bsky.social @geoandyhooper.bsky.social Is there any intent to make the velocity / strain rate data accessible via a map ?

Some nice commentary on the #HayliGubbi #eruption here from @julietbiggs.bsky.social and others. As discussed, it's unlikely that this is actually the first eruption of the volcano in 12,000 years. The Afar region is very active but also remote and understudied.

Quite a lot of research located in and around Afar region has been presented as part of the #RiftAndRiftedMarginsSeminar series - organised by @sasbrune.bsky.social

The Hayli Gubbi tephra has been sampled. These are photos from my sampling expedition on 24 Nov with the University of Semera from around 10 km north of Hayli Gubbi @sorcerinsar.bsky.social @alarosa.bsky.social
Does the Tibetan Plateau move like aged cheddar or like brie? It’s a bit of both, a new study says. 🧪

Thanks Tim. @planet.com imagery from Nov 24 show some subsidence in the southern half of the Erta Ale caldera after the #HayliGubbi eruption (plus widespread ash deposits).
Pre- and post-eruption visible imagery of #HayliGubbi from #Sentinel-2, showing tephra deposits and 2 new craters. The latter could be eruption vents and/or formed by post-eruptive subsidence. Looks like the pre-existing crater was enlarged by the eruption. @esa.int
