Yellowstone National Park sits atop the world's most famous supervolcano. If it erupted, ash and molten rock would spew across much of the continental United States, devastating the country and ...

researchers discovered that Yellowstone's supervolcano has substantially more magma reservoir under the caldera than previously thought. The lava is also flowing at shallow depths that fueled ...

Scientists have uncovered a ‘lid’ that’s keeping a Yellowstone supervolcano from erupting. The shocking discovery was made by a team of geologists in an underground reservoir of magma. The Yellowstone ...

SCIENTISTS have discovered a hidden lid that keeps the vast reservoir of magma beneath the Yellowstone supervolcano at bay. For years scientists have suspected that a mysterious chamber beneath ...

It turns out that beneath the wild expanse of Yellowstone National Park lies one of the most closely watched volcanic systems on Earth. And while the massive supervolcano beneath the park has long ...

The results of this study also were highlighted in the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory’s Caldera Chronicles here. The study was funded by the Wyoming National Aeronautics and Space Administration ...

Yellowstone Caldera Chronicles is a weekly column written by scientists and collaborators of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory. This week's contribution is from Cole Messa and Ken Sims ...

The last major eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano happened around 630 000 years ago, and was violent enough to create a collapsed crater, or caldera, over 60 km across. Though it shows no sign ...
