Though the volcano’s magma chambers could hold enough material for a caldera-forming event, none of them are likely to erupt ...

Yellowstone Caldera Chronicles is a weekly column written by scientists and collaborators of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory. This week's contribution is from Cathy Whitlock, Regents Professor ...

The Yellowstone Caldera, sometimes referred to as the Yellowstone Supervolcano, is a volcanic caldera and supervolcano in Yellowstone National Park in the Western United States. The caldera and most ...

Yellowstone's magma system shows new activity, with the northeast sector possibly hosting future volcanic activity.

The data they retrieved allowed them to map Yellowstone's plumbing ... Theoretically, they could power an eruption the size of Yellowstone's smallest caldera-forming eruption, the researchers ...

"The size is so immense that people don't appreciate it." Smith is a University of Utah geophysicist and a prominent expert on the supervolcano at Yellowstone. We're standing atop Lake Butte ...

That movement has now left one pool of molten material on the west of the caldera disconnected from any heat sources, which will likely allow it to cool. Meanwhile, the largest pool of near-surface ...

For decades, researchers in and around Yellowstone National Park have used seismic waves — imagine giving the region an MRI — to map the hot ... when the Yellowstone caldera could once again ...

Previous studies of Yellowstone had used the passage of earthquake waves through the caldera to try to gauge where liquid magma versus solid rock sat beneath the park. But waves can change their ...
