Question for my fellow geoscientists. Is the summit region of Ethiopia’s Fentale volcano experiencing overall uplift or overall subsidence during the last 14 days? #fentale

En las últimas semanas está ocurriendo una gran crisis sísmica en la región de Afar, en Etiopía.
En los últimos días, en el cráter del Fentale, uno de los volcanes que hay en la región se aprecia una anomalía térmica y lo que parece la condensación de gases en su interior 🌋

Satellite imagery from @planet.com shows increased steaming in the summit caldera of Fentale volcano (Ethiopia) in the last week. Emissions appear confined to topographic lows - perhaps a meteorological effect (temperature inversion?). @davidmpyle.bsky.social @volckaren.bsky.social 🧪

Not much discussion yet on Bluesky about the earthquake swarm (M4-5) and apparent magmatic intrusion near Fentale volcano in the East African rift system. There was earlier activity in the region in Sept/Oct. ⚒️🧪🌋

FYI Fentale is this kind of volcano. A rhyolitic polygenetic volcano in the rift setting.

I’m hoping that the slight decrease observed in earthquakes due to the magma intrusion near Ethiopia’s Fentale volcano continues to decline in activity. That would be a good sign.

Un piccolo aggiornamento sull'importante intrusione magmatica in corso da fine dicembre in #Etiopia. Fino ad ora l'intensa crisi sismica ha causato oltre 60.000 sfollati. Le deformazioni continuano, così come i cambiamenti nella zona sommitale del #Fentale 👇🏻

Mount Fentale volcano in Ethiopia just burped
a staggering amount of methane. That’s unusual for volcanoes, which typically spew out other gases, such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide. Mount Fentale hasn't erupted in over 200 years.

High-res satellite imagery confirms the fume in Fentale Volcano in Ethiopia is real. It is venting around the preexisting lava in the eastern part of the caldera. The vents expanded their numbers between 17-22 Jan. per Sentinel-2 imageries.
