which also suggest an overall low proportion of liquid magma beneath the surface. Seismic imaging of the Yellowstone system has also identified a deeper magma body, likely composed of basalt — Earth’s ...

a U.S. Geological Survey scientist who pioneered research on the Yellowstone volcano in the 1960s. With the magma chamber emptied, the surface collapses. The entire domed region simply falls into ...

the results from the magnetotelluric study are very similar to studies of the Yellowstone magmatic system using seismic data, which also suggest an overall low proportion of liquid magma beneath ...

The gorgeous colors of Yellowstone National Park's Grand Prismatic hot spring are among the park's myriad hydrothermal features created by the fact that Yellowstone is a supervolcano -- the ...

New research has pinpointed where theYellowstone supervolcano will likely erupt. It won't blow today, but future eruptions will likely center on the northeastern side of the national park, the new ...

Despite an explosive summer at Yellowstone National ... it released so much magma from its underground reservoir that the ground above collapsed into the magma chamber, forming a massive ...

New research of the Yellowstone supervolcano has pinpointed when it is likely to erupt next - and it might not be so soon. The research published in the Nature journal looked at the magma chambers ...

The research, published Jan. 1 in the journal Nature, found that rather than being stored in one big blob under Yellowstone, melted magma lurks in four separate reservoirs within the crust of the ...

Instead, the NASA scientists propose, a 10km deep hole into the hydrothermal water below and to the sides of the magma chamber. These fluids, which form Yellowstone’s famous heat pools and ...

A team from the United States Geological Survey (USGS), publishing last week in Nature Geoscience also measured the percentage of rock in Yellowstone magma reservoirs that's actually melted.
