This method allowed scientists to locate the top of Yellowstone’s magma chamber. They found it sits about 3.8 kilometers (12,500 feet) below the surface.

Beneath Yellowstone National Park lies something extraordinary—a giant underground chamber filled with molten rock, trapped gases, and intense heat. For years, scientists have known about this ...

“The Yellowstone system is one that’s been stagnant for a long time.” The volcano’s largest eruption, which earned it the title of a supervolcano, occurred 2.1 million years ago.

That’s something scientists would be able to detect. They also found rapid movement of magma into a small chamber is likely to produce an eruption capable of being detected, not one without warning.

Geologists have developed a new mathematical method that can estimate magma pressure beneath the Earth's surface using only the visible portions of ancient volcanic dykes. The tool, developed by a ...
