2005年9月,一条60公里长的堤坝侵入努比亚-阿拉伯板块边界(埃塞俄比亚阿法尔)的Dabbahu段,标志着一个持续的裂谷期的开始。我们利用卫星雷达干涉测量法(干涉合成孔径雷达)以及全球定位系统仪器和为应对最初的侵入而在裂谷周围部署的地震仪提供的数据,对持续的活动进行了监测。这些数据表明,一系列新的岩墙侵入体已重新侵入达巴胡段的中部和南部。第一次是在2006年6月,到2007年底又新建了7条堤坝。对干涉合成孔径雷达数据的建模表明,岩墙宽0.5至2米,长达10公里,局限于地壳上部10公里。2007年8月的一次侵入与5公里长的玄武岩裂隙喷发有关。在注入新的堤坝期间,干涉合成孔径雷达和GPS数据显示,该部分北方端的两座火山都没有下沉,这两座火山为2005年9月的堤坝提供了部分水源。地震活动数据表明,堤坝可能是从附近的Ado'Ale硅质复合体在该部分的中心源,但缺乏显着的下沉,这意味着源是非常深,或有最小的通缩在浅岩浆源。新的堤坝集中在一个地区,2005年的堤坝没有产生显着的开口,这意味着残余拉伸构造应力在这个位置较高,并集中在后来的侵入。到目前为止,观察到的序列的岩墙入侵是类似于在冰岛的Krafla裂谷插曲,持续9年,从1975年到1984年。随着岩浆的不断供应,岩脉可能会继续侵入,直到构造应力完全释放。正如在克拉弗拉观测到的那样,在裂谷期结束之前,喷发可能会变得更加普遍。
A 60-km-long dyke intruded the Dabbahu segment of the Nubia—Arabia Plate boundary (Afar, Ethiopia) in 2005 September, marking the beginning of an ongoing rifting episode. We have monitored the continuing activity using Satellite Radar Interferometry (InSAR) and with data from Global Positioning System (GPS) instruments and seismometers deployed around the rift in response to the initial intrusion. These data show that a sequence of new dyke intrusions has reintruded the central and southern section of the Dabbahu segment. The first was in 2006 June and seven new dykes were emplaced by the end of 2007. Modelling of InSAR data indicates that the dykes were between 0.5 and 2 m wide, up to ∼10 km long and confined to the upper 10 km of crust. An intrusion in 2007 August was associated with a 5-km-long basaltic fissural eruption. During the new dyke injections, InSAR and GPS data show no subsidence at either of the volcanoes at the northern end of the segment, which partly fed the 2005 September dyke. Seismicity data imply that the dykes were probably fed from a source near the Ado'Ale Silicic Complex at the centre of the segment, but the lack of significant subsidence there implies that the source is very deep, or that there was minimal deflation at shallow magma sources. The new dykes are concentrated in an area where the 2005 dyke did not produce significant opening, implying that residual tensile tectonic stresses are higher in this location and are focusing the later intrusions. The sequence of dyke intrusions observed so far is similar to those seen in Iceland during the Krafla rifting episode, which lasted 9 yr from 1975 to 1984. It is likely that, with a continued magma supply, dykes will continue to be intruded until the tectonic stress is fully relieved. As observed at Krafla, eruptions are likely to become more common before the rifting episode is concluded.
