Scientists have studied Yellowstone National Park's magmatic system for years, but a new view of the magma chamber shows the ...

New research used artificial earthquakes generated by a truck with a vibrating hydraulic plate to better understand the depth ...

It’s been thousands of years since an eruption occurred at Yellowstone, and new research shows what may be contributing to ...

More accurately called "supercritical fluid" for their unique state in the magma chamber, Schmandt noted that those bubbles formed when volatiles, or small fractions of elements like hydrogen ...

The Yellowstone caldera has a magma chamber about 40 by 80 kilometers across. The place where the stored melted rock meets solid, non-melted rock and forms a lid is called the magma cap.

The findings, published on April 16 in the journal Nature, reveal a new geological discovery inside the Yellowstone ...

The magma cap is critical for preventing eruptions at Yellowstone. Geoscientists have discovered a magma cap at Yellowstone National Park that is likely playing a critical role in preventing a ...

More accurately called "supercritical fluid" for their unique state in the magma chamber, Schmandt noted that those bubbles formed when volatiles, or small fractions of elements like hydrogen, carbon ...

Scientists "were bouncing earthquake waves off of the top of the magma chamber," Poland said. "And that can tell you something about the characteristics of the top. And they found the top was full ...

Geoscientists discovered a magma cap acting as a "lid" 2.4 miles beneath Yellowstone. This magma cap traps heat and pressure, but also allows gas to vent, reducing eruption risk. Seismic imaging ...
