YELLOWSTONE VOLCANO OBSERVATORY MONTHLY UPDATE
Wednesday, July 1, 2009 12:09 MDT (Wednesday, July 1, 2009 18:09 UTC)
YELLOWSTONE VOLCANO (CAVW#1205-01-)
44.43°N 110.67°W, Summit Elevation 9203 ft (2805 m)
Volcano Alert Level: NORMAL
Aviation Color Code: GREEN
June 2009 Yellowstone Seismicity Summary
During the month of June 2009, 77 earthquakes were located in the Yellowstone region. The largest event was a magnitude 3.3 on June 30 at 9:52 AM MDT, located about 15 miles east northeast of West Yellowstone, MT. This event was part of an ongoing small earthquake swarm that includes 25 events on June 30, beginning with the M3.3 The magnitudes during the swarm ranged from 3.0 to -0.2.
Earthquake activity in the Yellowstone region is at relatively normal background levels.
Ground Deformation Summary: Through June 2009, continuous GPS data show that uplift of the Yellowstone Caldera has slowed but may be continuing. The WLWY station, located in the northeastern part of the caldera, has undergone a total of ~23 cm of uplift since mid-2004. Its record can be found at:
pboweb.unavco.org...
The currently observed reduction in uplift rate may be related to seasonal changes related to snowmelt and groundwater recharge. In several of the past 5 years, such changes have caused decreased uplift or slight subsidence, but were followed later in the year by continued uplift. The general uplift of the Yellowstone caldera is of scientific importance and will continue to be monitored closely by YVO staff.
An article on the current uplift episode at Yellowstone and discussion of long-term ground deformation at Yellowstone and elsewhere can be found at: volcanoes.usgs.gov...

I was moore thinking of sequence for the the events of much EQ like in dec/jan...... march/april...... now june and july....
if it will happens again in sept /oct..... there will be a line in it....

Most of the "energetic" activity was probably due to human source - cars or something else.
Local earthquakes on webicorders have an almost instant attack, a flat spot if they're big enough to saturate the seismometer, and exponential decay.

No offense dude, but seriously, put the following information into Google Earth, and tell me exactly what human source is going to be there.

Identifier: YPK
Name: Parker Peak, Yellowstone Park, WY
Latitude: 44° 43' 54.60"
Longitude: 109° 55' 19.19"
Elevation: 9,504' 6.9"
If you don't want to bother to look to look for yourself, I will tell you there are no freaking roads there, not to mention it is on a ridge line.
I swear you only think there is any kind of real seismic activity going on in the park if it shows up in the USGS site. If you read the report for last month even UoU/YVO recognized there were over a hundred micro-quakes.
Frankly I don't trust UoU's monitoring of the park, on the basis that they don't work on the weekends.
