TL;DR: In this article, geodetic and seismic data from rare sections of ridges that are exposed on land in Iceland and the Afar region in east Africa demonstrate that rifting episodes at these sites operate with remarkably similar mechanisms.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present measurements of spatial and temporal variability in deformation from the currently active 60km-long Dabbahu segment of the Red Sea rift in Afar, using satellite radar, global positioning system, and seismicity data sets, that capture emplacement of two ~10-kmlong, ~1-m wide dike intrusions in June and July 2006.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use satellite-based interferometric synthetic aperture radar observations to demonstrate that significant deformation has occurred at four volcanic edifices in the Main Ethiopian Rift (MER) from 1993 to 2010.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 60 km-long dyke was reported to have intruded the Dabbahu segment of the Nubia-Arabia Plate boundary (Afar, Ethiopia) in 2005 September, marking the beginning of an ongoing rifting episode.

TL;DR: In this article, the role and significance of volcanism in the rifting process of the Red Sea system in Afar, Ethiopia has been investigated by integrating analyses of satellite images (i.e. MODIS, OMI, ASTER, and ALI).
