Satellite Radar Analysis Reveals Magma Movement in Ethiopia's Hayli Gubbi Eruption
Phys.org1 min read99 words
A study published in Geodesy and Geodynamics utilized satellite radar to analyze the November 2025 eruption of Hayli Gubbi in Ethiopia's Afar Depression. The research aimed to understand how magma movement beneath volcanoes causes the ground to rise, sink, or shift sideways, providing scientists with clues about magma storage and travel paths.
The study focused on Hayli Gubbi and the nearby Erta Ale, which are distinct volcanoes located within the same volcanic zone in the Afar Depression. This region is characterized by three tectonic plates pulling apart, a geological setting that influences the volcanic activity observed in the area.
