Afar Rift Consortium

Watching Africa splitting apart! - we are an international geoscience research group monitoring earthquakes and volcanoes in the Afar desert, Ethiopia.

New Open Access paper from former @RiftVolc @IGTLeeds @NERC_COMET student Chris Moore, showing how rifting and magmatism is deforming the entire @Afar_Rift region (including long-lived transient deformation from 2005-2010 DMH rifting episode) #Sentinel1 https://t.co/BHfUzSaGyx

As one of the survey organizers I'd like to particularly encourage observatories around the world to fill out this survey to give feedback on their experiences. Thanks to those who have already done so! @id_magma @oviingemmet @IngemmetPeru @Sernageomin @vulkanologi_mbg

The basin seismic structure and sediments revealed in the Danakil basin - brilliant. @Afar_Rift @ethiodanakiltou @OceanEarthUoS @britgeophysics https://t.co/4ZVgvAhGnt

Come on everyone - without tectonics of the #EastAfricanRiftSystem we’d still be living in trees. #FaultCup

Good luck to the @ExplosiveEarth team, exhibiting all week at @royalsociety summer exhibition.

[Tim Wright @timwright_leeds]

Stunning view of the @Afar_Rift volcanoes too. https://t.co/mcagBruOpp

We're currently seeking 3 people to join the geodesy team at Leeds.
