@HubGeology @USEmbassyAddis @PMEthiopia @mfaethiopia @POEthiopia Scientists at IGSSA at University of Addis Ababa are the responsible agency and are monitoring this closely with international partners. The latest data shows that deformation rates are decreasing.
Sentinel-1 data show a magma intrusion occurred north of Fentale volcano, Ethiopia, on around 27 September, causing many felt M4+ earthquakes. Today's acqcuisition shows deformation is now decreasing. Please follow Ethiopian experts at IGSSA for more information.

@NERC_COMET Modelling of the 2015 intrusion gave a top depth of about 5 km. Preliminary analysis of the 2024 satellite images based on the width of the graben suggests about 4 km for this one.

The Sentinel-1 time series for Fentale shows 1) a dyke intrusion in 2015, 2) slow uplift in 2017-2025, 3) a new dyke in 2024 further north. The 2015 dyke did not cause an eruption - more info from IGSSA, @NERC_COMET & BGS here: https://t.co/6IMYdbF2H0

@RestIsPolitics @KattyKay_ @Scaramucci @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK As a professor researching natural disasters, I’d like to know why do political commentators always use language from my field? ‘E.g. the LANDSLIDE victory was a political EARTHQUAKE, “literally” SHIFTING THE TECTONIC PLATES…’

Including a chapter by me with a personal view of the future of remote sensing… written in 2019 with a minor update in 2022. Hopefully not too out of date!
A long waiting book,... the ultimate guide on Remote Sensing for Geohazards and Resources https://t.co/e5nCQqBLLu Thanks so much to the editors for allowing me to share an intro view on satellite radar interferometry https://t.co/3oIkwvN3a8 (Preprint https://t.co/LHq3bGoYaV)
