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

Mirova reporting decreasing hotspot signals from Hayli Gubbi since the eruption on 23 November 2025

Basaltic dike in Erta Ale triggers explosive eruption in Hayli Gubbi. Read our new paper! www.frontiersin.org/journals/ear...

Our new study on @egu.eu SE combines automatic fault mapping, geodesy and rock dating to reconstruct the tectonic and magmatic evolution of the Afar rift during the last 4.5 Myrs. @sasbrune.bsky.social @sorcerinsar.bsky.social @derekkeir.bsky.social @gimmi-p.bsky.social @earth-science.bsky.social

The fully published version of a comparison of seismic v geodetic moment rate of Afar and Corinth rifts available at authors.elsevier.com/c/1lodn_wVTd... @sorcerinsar.bsky.social

First day passed at LASI VII in Iceland, with many Inspiring talks and posters on magmatic intrusions in various geodynamic contexts! We presented our 2024 natcomm study on the pressurizion of a deep sill network in the Afar rift @sorcerinsar.bsky.social @derekkeir.bsky.social

When Italian airports have an edge!

for a nice summary of the work on the pulsing Afar plume by @wattsvolcanology.bsky.social see this article in @newsweek.com www.newsweek.com/geology-plat... @gernon.bsky.social @sorcerinsar.bsky.social

In this new paper in @natgeosci.nature.com by @wattsvolcanology.bsky.social, she uses analysis of seismic and geochemical data to see pulsing of a mantle plume and how it flows along the rift @wattsvolcanology.bsky.social @sorcerinsar.bsky.social @gernon.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Congrats to Birhan Kebede on successfully defending her PhD at University of Florence today. Thanks to her defence committee too. @sorcerinsar.bsky.social @alarosa.bsky.social

Excited to share our latest paper on rift localization in Afar, @derekkeir.bsky.social @sorcerinsar.bsky.social. Check it out on @commsearth.nature.com at www.nature.com/articles/s43...
