Magma influx explains short-lived bulge at Tanzania's Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano
In 2024, D. Sarah Stamps' team detected and tracked a short-lived bulge in the land around a volcano in Tanzania. In a paper published Sep. 18, Stamps identified the cause of the uplift: 1 million cubic meters of magma pouring into an existing magma reservoir about 1.8 miles (2.9 kilometers) underground.
A Million Cubic Metres of Magma Swelled the Ground Beneath One of Earth’s Strangest Volcanoes
Around one million cubic metres of magma entered a hidden reservoir beneath Ol Doinyo Lengai in Tanzania, causing the ground above the volcano to rise by only a few millimetres. New modelling published on 18 September has traced a previously detected deformation episode to magma entering or pressurising a shallow storage zone roughly three kilometres […]
A barely visible swelling of the soil at the Tanzanian volcano Ol Doinyo Lengai was apparently due to Magmanachschub in the underground. Model calculations locate the source at about three kilometers depth and estimate the volume change to about one million cubic meters. The process did not lead to an explosive eruption, but shows which processes can detect the continuous soil measurement. Blacksburg [...] The article Magmanachschub explains sho…
