Researcher D. Sarah Stamps' team at Virginia Tech detected magma intrusion beneath Tanzania's Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano in 2024, identifying about a million cubic meters of magma entering an existing reservoir roughly 1.8 miles underground. While modest and not immediately concerning, the finding demonstrates an effective early-stage alert system for predicting explosive volcanic eruptions, which occur at this volcano roughly every 10–15 years.
