摘要
International researchers flock to study the East African Rift, but local researchers and monitoring facilities are often overlooked. Nature Reviews Earth & Environment speaks to Atalay Ayele, Head of the seismology unit at the Institute of Geophysics, Space Science and Astronomy at Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia, about the challenges and potential of local seismic monitoring at the East African Rift.
