Chabbi Quaternary volcano is located on the Wonji Fault Belt or magmatic segment of the MainrnEthiopian Rift (MER) where active extensional tectonics and volcanism is taking place.rnParticularly, it is found in the southern part of the MER between Lake Shalla to the north andrnLake Hawassa within Corbetti caldera to the south. From field observation, previous work,rnsatellite image and GIS and Remote sensing incorporation, the volcanic evolution and currentrnactivity of Chabbi has been interpreted. It has been established that Chabbi is a compositernrhyolite volcano built during the Holocene. The eruption sequence of this volcano consists ofrnrhyolitic lavas and domes, at the base followed by explosive eruptive products in thernintermediate and degassed obsidian flows in the final phase. The volcano has emitted very youngrnproducts in recent geological times and is currently at fumarolic stage.rnThe volcano has proximity to Hawassa city, Shashamane town and Tikur Wuha, Bura and Ajernvillages as well as to densely populate rural farming communities. The surrounding regionrnfurther includes major infrastructures and growing agricultural and industrial activities. AsrnChabbi volcano currently shows vigorous fumarolic activity, its potential future eruptions posesrna significant volcanic hazard to a large population, important infrastructures and boomingrneconomic activity.rnAn assessment of the potential volcanic hazard from its future eruptions has been attemptedrnbased on the volcanoâ€™s past eruptive behavior and probable future scenarios. Tentative volcanicrnhazard maps and zones have been attempted in GIS environment considering eruption scenariosrnfrom six identified vents affecting an area over a moderate distance of 15km radius.
