7 Sep. 4, 2007 to April 2008 hybrid magma formed by the assimilation of natrocarbonatite by a nephelinitic magma. Seems to be an extreme variant of the 1966 ash Mitchell & Dawson, Mineralogical Magazine, , 1993 silicatecarbonatite mixture Ne Ne Nepheline N Natrocarbonatite P Na,K,Ca-phospatecarbonate Dawson et al., 1992
8 Oldoinyo Lengai observations: Rare episodes of magma mixing and ash eruptions: 1966, 1967, 1993, 2007 All violent events preceded by earthquake swarms Question: Are there any causative relations between the earthquake swarms and the violent ash eruptions?
9 Methodology InSAR measurements of the surface deformation associated with the earthquake swarm Inversion of the InSAR measurements for fault and dike parameters Verification in the field Reconstruction of the complete evolution of faulting, dike intrusion, and eruptions Propose a mechanism for the earthquake-volcano sequences

13 Elastic modeling (slip inversion) Purpose Obtain fault and/or dike parameters from observed deformation Procedure Choice of initial location of fault (or dike) trace by discontinuities of fringes In the wrapped interferograms Division of fault (or dike) into 1.5 x 1.5 km patches Iterative comparison between data and Okada elastic solution, allowing for variations in: slip (each patch), strike, dip, rake, fine-location Choice of best-fit solution lowest residual between data and model Output: fault (or dike) models with slip (or opening) distribution

21 Spatial relations Common chamber possible Close vicinity (~15 km) Earthquakes induced by dikes (should come from somewhere) Dike and fault propagation from SW to NE Anatomy of a continental volcano - Hill et al., 2002
22 Temporal relations Lengai (i) (iii) Natrocarbonatites (vi) (v) (vii)? Ash eruptions Until April 2008 Gelai (ii) Dikes Earthquakes (iv) July August September October November Suggested scenario: (i) pressurization of a deep-seated magma chamber below Oldoinyo Lengai (ii) Lateral dike injection, dike-induced faulting, seismicity (iii) Triggered (?) natrocarbonatite effusion (iv) Magma chamber depleted, pressure drop, bubble growth (v) Continued magma supply, ascent of bubble-rich silicate magma in conduit (vi) Reaction between silicate and carbonatitic magma, CO 2 release (vii) Ash eruption
23 Summary 1. InSAR captured the complete evolution of a dike-induced earthquake swarm: Intense faulting during first week (probably induced by deep-seated dikes) ~ 1 month of shallow dike propagation and induced faulting Mainly faulting during next (last) month 2. Provides precise relocation of earthquakes and dikes, verified in the field 3. In contrast with the pure carbonatitic composition of the effusive eruptions, all major ash eruptions in Lengai in the last 50 years were of mixed silicatecarbonatite composition and were preceded by EQ swarms 4. Magma withdrawal by dikes could be the possible cause for vesiculation and upward ascent of silicate magma leading to reaction and mixing with the carbonatites. Dynamic triggering is also a plausible mechanism for this process (not shown here). 5. Ongoing rifting in Africa
