Will Yellowstone Erupt Soon? Scientists Are Using New Techniques to Find Out
Using magnetotellurics, researchers produced a detailed picture of the magma beneath Yellowstone, offering insights into a distant future of possible volcanic activity
What a Yellowstone Eruption Would Look Like
An expert from the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory has revealed some of the most likely impacts of an eruption in the famed national park.
Yellowstone volcanic activity is on the move, experts say — but will it erupt anytime soon?
Yellowstone National Park, known for erupting geysers like Old Faithful, is home to one of earth’s largest volcanic systems, with the capacity to wreak havoc on an entire continent — and components of that so-called supervolcano are on the move, experts say.
Scientists reveal why the mighty Yellowstone isn't ready to blow
New research reveals why the famously steamy park, hosting over 500 hot geysers, shows no signs of blowing its top. These days, the reservoirs of magma (molten rock) that feed Yellowstone hold pretty low concentrations of this magma. They simply don't contain enough volcanic fuel to drive the heat and pressure that would stoke an eruption.
Yellowstone Won't Erupt Anytime Soon, Scientists Confirm
"This number is based simply on averaging the two intervals between the three major past eruptions at Yellowstone—this is hardly enough to make a critical judgment," the USGS Yellowstone fact sheet reads.
Yellowstone is unlikely to erupt soon. But we should still keep an eye on it
It’s not hard to see why researchers are worried about a Yellowstone eruption. If the supervolcano were to erupt, the consequences would be devastating. The ashfall alone could render vast areas uninhabitable,
