Abstract

Afar Dallol represents a world-class natural field laboratory where active rifting, volcanism and climate dynamics steer fast environmental change and complex geobiosphere interactions. Future drilling aims to understand the deep subsurface paleoenvironmental record, and its controlling factors during continental break-up.
