there is a fault there, but at the moment its unclear if these earthquakes are right at the edge of the fault or if its further toward the caldera. I'm in UK so any further place of information you can give me, i'd be greatful.

Does anyone know how many "swarms" there have been in Yellowstone in the last 12 months? Or a link will do

The key words to read in the YVO report on deformation is that is has slowed and MAY have stopped. Shirakawa a few weeks ago posted graphs that showed some parts of the park were still rising. If anything can be said about the deformation, it's that it has stalled. It is not continuing it's steady rise, but nor has there been any subsidence which often follows swarms. There has been no subsidence since the major swarm last year. Since there has been no subsidence, there still may be pressure left to be released. Over the last few years there has been an injection of molten magma the size of Los Angeles.
When you look at the GPS graphs, you can see where the uplift slowed. But if you look at them now you will see that they seem to be on the rise again. Shirakawa has more detail graphs that maybe he can show again with new data and plot the current trend.

The last one seemed bigger than M2.5 to me.
Is YVO downplaying earthquakes now?
