Formation of magmatic segments within the Aluto-Gedemsa area, Main Ethiopian Rift

Wubamlak Nigussie et al.

Summary: This study used gravity data to interpret the formation and nature of magmatic segmentation within the Aluto-Gedemsa area in the Main Ethiopian Rift. The results show that the Aluto and Gedemsa magmatic segments are distinct and not linked, contradicting surface tectonic mappings. The study also supports the existence of bilateral off-rift magmatic extension zones, indicating an immature stage of continental rifting in the central MER.

Porosity evolution of mafic crystal mush during reactive flow

Matthew L. M. Gleeson et al.

Summary: The emergence of the mush paradigm has raised questions about conventional models of magma storage and extraction. Reactive flow has been proposed as a contributing factor in the formation of high porosity, melt-rich regions, but its influence on natural mush systems is still unclear due to the lack of accurate geochemical simulations. This study uses a thermodynamically constrained model to simulate the consequences of reactive flow in a multi-component mush system, showing that it can drive large changes in mush porosity.

Geodynamics of continental rift initiation and evolution

Sascha Brune et al.

Summary: A continental rift is a process where the lithosphere is thinned by tectonic activity, leading to the formation of new ocean basins or the cessation of activity. The mechanisms that determine rift success or failure are still debated. This Review explores the fundamental processes, geodynamic forces, and interactions that lead to the variety of rifts on Earth.

Imaging the seismic velocity structure of the crust and upper mantle in the northern East African Rift using Rayleigh wave tomography

Emma L. Chambers et al.

Summary: Understanding the dynamics and evolution of continental rifting is crucial for comprehending plate tectonics. By inverting seismic data, this study reveals large-scale magmatic activity in the rift area and suggests that melt infiltration may occur before significant deformation. Additionally, the migration process of the melt is dynamic and may happen laterally as well as within the rift.

Electrical Conductivity of Clayey Rocks and Soils: A Non-Linear Model

Youzheng Qi et al.

Summary: The conduction mechanism of clayey rocks and soils is influenced by variations in the electrical double layer and the intrinsic clay-and-water conduction pattern, resulting in a non-linear feature. By applying effective medium theory, an easy-to-use non-linear model has been developed that reflects electrochemical theories and explains measurement data well.

The effect of initial and prior models on phase tensor inversion of distorted magnetotelluric data

T. Rung-Arunwan et al.

Summary: To avoid distortion in MT data, this study uses the inversion of the phase tensor. A one-dimensional mean resistivity profile is chosen as the initial model, which has been proven to be less sensitive to galvanic distortion. The results show that this approach is viable, especially for mitigating the effects of galvanic distortion.

Origin and migration of fluoride in the area of the Aluto Volcanic Complex (Main Ethiopian Rift)

Simona Regenspurg et al.

Summary: Fluoride-enriched ground and surface waters in many areas along the East African Rift pose a significant health risk to the local population. This study investigates the origin and accumulation of fluoride in rift waters and finds that fluoride is released from minerals through fluid-rock interactions and migrates through permeable fault zones. The study also identifies various sources of fluoride, including volcanic rocks, pumice, and fluoride-rich minerals, as well as the role of weathering and leaching in releasing fluoride into the aqueous phase.

Resistivity structural imaging of the Olkaria Domes geothermal field in Kenya using 2D and 3D MT Data inversion

Philip Omollo et al.

Summary: The 2D and 3D MT inversion of 290 soundings was used to analyze the structural control of the Olkaria geothermal reservoir system. The study revealed multiple resistivity layers, with a conductive layer as the reservoir seal, a resistive reservoir zone, and a deeper conductive zone interpreted as the heat source. The study also identified fault pathways for hydrothermal fluids and predominant dykes in the reservoir.

Catching the Main Ethiopian Rift evolving towards plate divergence

Eugenio Nicotra et al.

Summary: The study defines the magmatic behavior of the Northern Main Ethiopian Rift (NMER), highlighting differences between recent eruptive fissures and older monogenetic scoria cones. Despite these differences, calculations suggest a similar parental melt for both products, indicating a different evolutionary history after melt generation. This transition towards linear fissure volcanism in the NMER may indicate a shift towards mature rifting with increased tensile conditions and volcanism directly fed from the base of the crust.
