Though the volcano’s magma chambers could hold enough material for a caldera-forming event, none of them are likely to erupt soon.

Yellowstone's magma system shows new activity, with the northeast sector possibly hosting future volcanic activity.

A number of studies have given us fascinating images showing Yellowstone’s magma reservoirs. But how are those images created ...

Seismic imaging of the Yellowstone system has also identified a deeper magma body, likely composed of basalt — Earth’s most primitive magma type and the heat engine that helps to generate and sustain ...

Rangers at Yellowstone ... magma also is layered like a parfait, with two “flavors.” The lower level is rich in basalt, while the upper level contains a lot of silica. The lower level essentially ...

Yellowstone’s supervolcano is showing signs of awakening after 160,000 years. Find out how scientists are tracking magma movement and what this means for the future.

Magnetotellurics helped researchers create a precise map of magma chambers beneath Yellowstone. Bennington et al. / Nature, 2024 Other studies have relied primarily upon seismic waves, which help ...

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 ...

To do so, they used a thermomechanical magma chamber model and simulated a shrinking West Antarctic Ice Sheet through inputting specific pressure decreases exerted on the underlying rocks and ...

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 ...

Huge reservoirs of basaltic magma in the lower crust are heating chambers of rhyolitic melt in the upper crust. These are now concentrating in Yellowstone’s northeast. “We identify regions of ...
