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 ...

A new paper published in Nature suggests, however, that a team of researchers has finally found the exact location of the upper boundary of Yellowstone’s magma reservoir. Locating the top of the ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Seismologists have used artificial seismic waves to map Yellowstone's magma reservoir, revealing its top boundary at 3.8 km below the surface. The chamber is ...

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 ...

Under Yellowstone lies a magma-filled formation that drives the national park’s famous geysers and other hydrothermal ...

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 ...

Instead of peaks, they often form as massive calderas—huge sunken areas created when the magma chamber empties and collapses. Their eruptions sit at the top of the Volcanic Explosivity Index ...
