An explosive #eruption of Hayli Gubbi #volcano, located SE of Erta'Ale in the Afar Rift (Ethiopia), began at ~08:30 UTC on Nov 23. Eruption onset was fortuitously captured by a @planet.com overpass at 08:31 UTC. Hayli Gubbi has no record of Holocene eruptions. Toulouse VAAC reporting ash to ~15 km.
My big paper on the 2021 Fagradalsfjall eruption is finally out! If you want to understand the recent eruptions on the Reykjanes Peninsula better, look no further: doi.org/10.1029/2024...
Let’s dive in to what we found: 🧵

Step 1 of the journey to #AGU2023 is underway!
Swing by my poster on **Monday morning** (V11D-0090) to hear the latest story on seismicity measured during the recent uplift of #Askja #volcano, including some exciting preliminary results from an epic summer of fieldwork 🌋🇮🇸😁⚒️
We've added two new, updated maps to our post, tracking the latest seismic data in Iceland. Here's one; head to our blog to find the other one: earthquakeinsights.substack.com/p/volcanic-e...

vafri.is/quake is a good accompaniment to skjalftalisa - shows all the automatic solutions as they are published by the met office. (With the trade-off that it obvs has less reliable locations and contains some artefacts, particularly during super intense periods)

This morning at 05:35 an earthquake of M3.9, 1km NW of Mt. Thorbjorn on the Reykjanes peninsula, a seismic swarm started there just after midnight. The earthquake activity there is ongoing. It was felt in the town of Grindavík and in more settlements. en.vedur.is/earthq.../ea...
Congrats!!
