TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the following relative, geodetic Euler vectors (latitude (°N), longitude(°E), rate (°/Myr, counterclockwise) for Arabia-Nubia (31.7 ± 0.2 mm/yr, left lateral; 0.8-1.5 mm/r, right lateral, increasing from north to south; 1-2 mm /yr extension).

TL;DR: In this paper, local and regional seismic data constrain the space-time history of deformation and likely magma sources for the September 2005 diking episode in the Manda-Harraro rift zone of the Afar depression.

TL;DR: GPS measurements adjacent to the southern Red Sea and Afar Triple Junction, indicate that the Red Sea Rift bifurcates south of 17 degrees N latitude with one branch following a continuation of the main Red Sea rift (similar to 150 degrees Az.) and the other oriented more N-S, traversing the Danakil Depression as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, P-wave receiver functions across the western Gulf of Aden and southern Red Sea continental margins in Western Yemen were analyzed to constrain crustal thickness, internal crustal structure and the bulk seismic velocity characteristics in order to address the role of magmatism, faulting and mechanical crustal thinning during continental breakup.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the temporal distribution of the overall seismic activity and both the frequency and the moment tensor of large earthquakes in the western part of the Gulf of Aden, where the structure of the oceanic spreading ridge is characterized by a series of N115°-trending slow-spreading segments set within an EW-tending rift.
