Yellowstone. Monitoring the Fire Below
Description
Three of the most catastrophic volcanic eruptions in geologic history occurred at a place now visited by nearly four million people per year: Yellowstone National Park. The magma chamber responsible still lies beneath, and continues to steam, heat, and shift the park landscape. This science bulletin talks with the geologists regularly monitoring these disquieting signals to understand where this active region lies in its volcanic life span.
