GEOCHEMISTRY OF LARGE EXPLOSIVE ERUPTIONS FROM THE MAIN ETHIOPIAN RIFT
The Main Ethiopian Rift (MER) is located in a geodynamic setting controlled by continental spreading, which has occurred since Eocene-Oligocene. In this area, the active tectonics has repeatedly favoured magma ascent along the rift axis resulting in intense volcanic activity characterized by a wide …

Examining the past to prepare for the future: Quaternary magma storage in the Main Ethiopian Rift and implications for volcanic hazard and resource potential
… still know relatively little about continental rift volcanism. The Main Ethiopian Rift (MER) is part of the larger East African Rift system, the archetypal example of continental rifting on our planet. Comprehensive geochemical datasets, including new whole-rock, glass (matrix glass and melt …

Tracing mantle degassing along the East African Rift using He and C isotopes: a geospatial approach
… detect mantle-degassing across the East African Rift. From the literature, a database of R/Ra and δ13C-CO2 values was produced with accompanying isotopic and geochemical data. The data was filtered, removing samples of ambiguous origin, and samples heavily altered by secondary processes. The …

Soil-plant dynamics of water, nitrogen and sulfur: A study on indigenous and exotic tree species in Munessa Forest, Ethiopia
… of the soils of the study area at the Main Ethiopian Rift Valley escarpment, experimental plots were set up in neighbouring stands of a natural forest dominated by Podocarpus falcatus and in plantations of Cupressus lusitanica and Eucalyptus globulus. All investigations on the ecology …

Engineering geological characterization of volcanic rocks of ethiopian and sardinian highlands to be used as construction materials
… characterization of volcanic rocks from Ethiopian and Sardinian highlands to be used as construction materials”. Though, the two project areas are geographically far apart, both are partly covered with volcanic rocks mainly consisting of basic and subordinate felsic rocks. The research …
