Evidence of fluid induced earthquake swarms from high resolution earthquake relocation in the Main Ethiopian Rift
Fluid overpressure and fluid migration are known to be able to trigger or induce fault slip.
However, relatively little is known about the role of fluids on generating earthquakes in some …

Subsurface structure of magmatic segments during continental breakup: Perspectives from a gravity data analysis along the Main Ethiopian Rift
In magma-rich continental rifts, extension is commonly localized as dike injection in discrete
magmatic segments which appear from surface geology to mimic the along-axis …

Thermo-rheological properties of the Ethiopian lithosphere and evidence for transient fluid induced lower crustal seismicity beneath the Ethiopian Rift
Lower crustal earthquakes at plate boundaries and intraplate settings occur at depth where
deformation is normally expected to occur in a ductile manner. Here we use the available …

3‐D analog modeling constraints on rifting in the Afar region
HM Khalil, FA Capitanio, PG Betts, AR Cruden - Tectonics, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Rifting in the Afar region is considered to be the only known example of the formation of an
incipient divergent triple junction. Taking the Afar region as an example, we use three …
