Real-time satellite monitoring of the 2024–2025 dyke intrusion sequence at Fentale-Dofen volcanoes, Ethiopia
Seismic activity near Fentale volcano in the Main Ethiopian Rift started in late September 2024 and a M4.9 earthquake on 27th September was felt as far away as Addis Ababa (120 km) (Lewi et al. 2025). As ground access to part of the affected region was not possible, Addis Ababa University contacted several international organisations, including the UK Centre for the Observation and Modelling of Earthquakes, Volcanoes and Tectonics (COMET) to assist in analysing InSAR satellite data to help with the response. COMET responded by providing satellite observations of ground deformation and surface changes, and preliminary interpretations.
