A Correction on
Segmented dike intrusion linked to multi-level magma storage during and before the 2025 eruption at Erta Ale (East Africa)
by La Rosa A, Pagli C, Keir D, Ayele A, Wang H, Rivalta E and Lewi E (2025) . Front. Earth Sci. 13:1719687. doi: 10.3389/feart.2025.1719687
There was a mistake in Supplementary Table S2 as published. Two volumes for SP and D2 were reported incorrectly. The file has now been replaced.
In the abstract, the total volume was reported incorrectly in the “Results” section. This has been corrected to read: “During 25 days, a dike propagated southward for 36 km, intruding a total of ∼0.4 km3 of mafic magma.”
A correction has been made to the section Introduction, paragraph 3:
“The event lasted 25 days, during which the intrusion mobilized ∼0.4 km3 of magma and multiple magma bodies formed at various crustal levels.”
A correction has been made to the section 4 InSAR modelling, “4.1 Pre-diking modelling: January 2018-June 2025”:
“The sill deflated with a rate of ∼5.5 cm/yr corresponding to a total volume 0.015 km3 of drained magma from 2018 to June 2025 (Figure 3D; Supplementary Table S2).”
A correction has been made to the section 4 InSAR modelling, “4.2 Co-diking modelling: July-August 2025”, paragraph 2:
“The two dike segments have a distributed opening of up to ∼2 m, corresponding to a volume of intruded magma of ∼0.063 km3, while the total volume of drained magma from the contracting dike is ∼0.021 km3 (Supplementary Table S2).”
A correction has been made to the section 5 Discussion, paragraph 2:
“Our models indicate that ∼0.063 km3 intruded the southern segments against 0.021 km3 of magma drained from the NC dike.”
A correction has been made to the section 5 Discussion, paragraph 3:
“The dike stopped ∼9 km north of the Afrera town and opened up to ∼4 m (Figure 6B) with the volume of the intrusion being ∼0.24 km3 of magma (Supplementary Table S2).”
A correction has been made to the section 5 Discussion, paragraph 5:
“The total volume of magma intruded during the 2025 dike intrusion is ∼0.4 km3 (Supplementary Table S2) while the volume of magma intruded into the NC dike during January 2020 - June 2025 was two orders of magnitude lower.”
A correction has been made to the section 6 Conclusion:
“The intrusion of 0.4 km3 of basaltic magma was fed by a contracting dike below the NC and probably by a deeper sill at a depth of ∼7 km”
The original article has been updated.
