The Southern African Geophysical Association (SAGA) hosted a Monthly Talk exploring geodetic research and its role in understanding volcanic and tectonic activity across Ethiopia.

Titled “Geodetic Eyes on Magmatic Dike Intrusion: Lessons from the Fentale–Dofen Crisis and Other Recent Ethiopian Events,” the session featured Elias Lewis from Addis Ababa University.

The presentation focused on the Fentale–Dofen crisis and other recent Ethiopian geological events, highlighting how geodetic observations can contribute to understanding underground magma movement, crustal deformation, and associated geological processes.

Supported by AfricaArray and EAST4Future, the session emphasised the value of scientific collaboration and advanced geophysical monitoring in strengthening our understanding of Earth’s dynamic systems.
