To assess the probability of a volcanic eruption during an unrest period, we must understand magma-chamber rupture and dyke propagation to the surface, as well as dyke arrest at …
This overview paper considers the East African rift system (EARS) as an intra-continental ridge system, comprising an axial rift. It describes the structural organization in three …
Displacement–length data from faults, joints, veins, igneous dikes, shear deformation bands, and compaction bands define two groups. The first group, having a power-law scaling …
New geochemical data integrated in a petrogenetic model indicate that the∼ 30 Ma Northern Ethiopian continental flood basalts (CFBs) preserve a record of magmas generated …
High-resolution seismic data from Lake Tana, the source of the Blue Nile in northern Ethiopia, reveal a deep sedimentary sequence divided by four strong reflectors. Data from …
Abstract The Afar Depression is a unique place on Earth where active rift processes can be directly observed. It is believed to be close to continental breakup. The Afar hotspot has a …
Abstract The 1.6-km-deep Gorge of the Nile, a rival of the Grand Canyon, resulted from the deep incision of the Blue Nile drainage into the uplifted Ethiopian Plateau. Understanding …

Continental flood basalts consist of vast quantities of lava, sills and giant dyke swarms that are associated with continental break-up. The commonly radiating geometry of dyke swarms …
Despite public awareness of unintended impacts (1980s) and well-developed international standards (2000s), downstream impacts of large hydropower projects still very often are not …
