Seismic Signature of the 23 November 2025 Hayli Gubbi Eruption Sequence in Afar, Ethiopia On 23 November 2025, the Hayli Gubbi volcano in the Danakil Depression (Afar, northern Ethiopia) erupted in a massive explosion. We present the first seismic characterization of this event using data ...

🚨 Paper alert!
Check out our new preprint on the unforeseen explosion of Hayli Gubbi in the Afar Region.
Together with seismologists from Addis Ababa University, we present the first seismic insights into this exceptional eruption.

In November 2025, we serviced seismic stations on the flanks of the active and exceptional Oldoinyo Lengai volcano in Tanzania. First data show very high activity, and we’re excited about the insights into magmatic processes and the volcano’s interior that the seismograms will reveal.🌋
