Whats going on at yellowstone?

Coolness...looks like Da "Pipe Cleaners" are back on the job, cleaning all those Digital Thingamabobs & Whosajiggys with their sparkling Effervescence!!!

They have been there for days (they started again on January 15th), just with different (and very variable) thickness. That air pump is really working hard

Yah know, if I ran the show at YS, there would be a tech looking for a new job...

Or permanently assigned to a snowmobile & his/her tool set lol.

(And have a cherry-picker on hand to clean the OF Web cam )

Things are rather quiet lately and this may be a good time to remind those of you that suggest drilling exploratory holes in volcanic regions. Piercing the protective layers can have very undesirable results. Louisiana Sink Hole Drains Entire Lake

russian (Kamchatka ...) volcanoes are almost always active to some degree ... one of the most active subduction zones in the world ... if nothing was reported as happening, i really would suspect a conspiracy

Hi Farmer boy Yes and at best as said multiple times... the lava will just close the whole again

From what I know what prevents to drill deep holes in Yellowstone is not magma (lava is erupted magma) but mainly ground heat, for two reasons:

- At high temperatures drilling bits don't properly work anymore
- At high temperatures and pressures, rock, even if not magmatic, becomes plastic (deformable) and would relatively quickly fill any drilled hole

Also, water drainage would be a problem. There's plenty of pressurized hot water under Yellowstone.

not to mention cost; say 10m $ for a 4-5km hole depth in normal sedimentary basin (Canada) ... plus failed holes, etc ... costs would be significant in the attempt(s) .. see previous post ...

Ooowee...~M6.5 around Loyalty Islands again...look fer a long low ripple at YS in a few...

What I don't get is that if it is a pump or something, wth don't they move it, fix it etc?

It makes no sense to have data corrupted if it is something they can fix with either new equipment or adding a filter or moving the source.

Is it possible that the anomalous activity in the graphs could be caused by some type of electromagnetic activity, like that which causes earthquake lights? Or would the seismos be shielded to protect them from EM interference. I apologize if this has already been proposed, i have been following this thread since the beginning, but i'm sure i missed a few pages somewhere.

Here is a pic of OF from a few minutes ago.

The steam/smoke, sure does look like it is getting darker. Look at the steam from a geyser farther away, that one is white.

i need help locating and downloadin g this software


which would be a huge help here Eruption Pro 10.3,

LKWY seismic station is mantained by USGS, so if it's a technical problem and not some external interfering equipment, I think the guys from the University of Utah can't really do much about it.

By the way, a 150 nanometers spike occurred at 18:52 UTC near YLA.

Maybe here?

Other than that all I see are references to the software...no access to it

I agree with you questioningall the steam for the last couple of days has been much much darker in color next to the other geysers white fluffy looking steam.
I haven't seen any signs of wildlife in the last couple of days also.

A 1.3 micrometers (1300 nanometers) spike on GEE just occurred near YLT (and also shows up on nearby stations, so it's real). Recently there have been many of these light spikes around the lake. Steam explosions? Could they have something to do with the 'black smoke' at Old Faithful?

I've been wondering the same thing this morning. First time since I've been watching it that I've noticed any correlation between the geyser activity and the spikes on GEE, and it's been very active. Old Faithful never gets a real break.

I wish YVO would update. Maybe all this is normal?

It could also be the movement of fluids back into the LKWY region that was having double coupled readings during the original swarm. The readings meant that there was rock on rock sliding with no "fluids" cushioning the slides. If it is coming back into a area that has been heated then it is logical to assume there would be steam explosions at the least.

I'm sure links are "buried" in past pages to this or maybe here...

damn i cant find it.


its the kind of software that the gov uses to see inside the volcanos.
and i want it
