Geohazards & Risk Studies
Most geothermal prospects in Ethiopia are located in tectonically active areas. Managing risks such as earthquakes, volcanism, and CO2 emissions is essential for safe infrastructure and communities.
Active Monitoring Projects
ER-OS Seismic Network
Main Ethiopian Rift
Satellite InSAR Monitoring
National Coverage
Volcanic Gas Sampling
Dallol & Erta Ale
Earthquake Safety
Implementing building codes and early warning systems for the highly populated Rift regions.
Landslide Prevention
Mapping slope stability in mountainous geothermal areas to protect road and energy infrastructure.
Induced Seismicity
Monitoring and managing micro-seismicity during geothermal fluid injection to ensure zero impact on structures.
Emergency Response Guidelines
Protocols for developers and local governments in case of geological events.
