Magma is on the move beneath Yellowstone National Park’s Upper Geyser Basin in Wyoming and throughout the caldera but is unlikely to contribute to an eruption. Credit: Jim Peaco/NPS Magma deep ...

Yellowstone National Park, located primarily in northwestern Wyoming and extending into Montana and Idaho, is home to one of ...

A detailed look at Yellowstone's magma storage system finds that only one region is likely to host liquid magma in the long term. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

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.

This makes magnetotellurics an ideal tool for mapping where magma is distributed beneath active volcanoes. Using magnetotelluric data collected across Yellowstone caldera in the summers of 2017 ...

Editor's note: Yellowstone Caldera Chronicles is a weekly column written by scientists and collaborators of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory. This week's contribution is from Ninfa Bennington, ...

In the paper, a group of researchers says that magma levels beneath the Yellowstone Caldera are greater than we previously believed. But there’s no reason for people to worry, as the Yellowstone ...

The geophysical techniques that allow us to image the magma beneath Yellowstone ― as in a recent study that provided a view of multiple separate magma reservoirs ― work similarly. These ...

Johnson, Science Communication Associate at EarthScope Consortium. A number of studies have given us fascinating images showing Yellowstone’s magma reservoirs. But how are those images created?

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 ...
