Mixing and crystal scavenging in the Main Ethiopian Rift revealed by trace element systematics in feldspars and glasses
... Abstract For many magmatic systems, crystal compositions preserve a complex and protracted history, which may be largely decoupled from their carrier melts. The crystal cargo may hold clues to the physical distribution ...

Contrasting styles of post caldera volcanism along the Main Ethiopian Rift : implications for contemporary volcanic hazards
... The East African Rift System (EARS) is the classic example of a continental rift system associated with active volcanism (Ebinger 2005). Magmatic systems along the densely populated EARS remain active, as ...
