Whats going on at yellowstone?

OK, good to know something is working out there.

Looks like there really haven't been any quakes to the Southeast, then. Thanks for posting those.

Minor scattered action at YS today.

Thanks for posting those links. I was getting a little frustrated, thanks.

Star for you.

Thanks! Now B207 old swarm area gets a hit.

That one got me to crank up GEE (got it working again.. tech staff there is great)

reply to post by broahes

Yes, all the stations I was watching in GEE showed that one. On closer
examination it appears closest to YMC.

I would be interested in what GEE support told you. Perhaps you
could send it to me via U2U.

They told me that one of the operating files that is used with the newest upgrade for Vista sometimes gets loaded in the temp files and when I clean up my puter I delete that file.

I had to reinstall.

Why is Yellowstone Lake's station report always so spaced? I get little bits and pieces.

reply to post by broahes

I don't know what the problem is, but they have had problems with that
station for several years. B208 is located very near that station and is
much more reliable.

Surprised to see that event just before 14:30 utc isn't on the earthquake map yet.

Another Utah quake:

disturbing that 3.6 UTAH.....

the VESUVIUS in Italy is buizzy also...


cant link it.. but make google search on BKE V
will be the 6th site on the list for that helicorder
ore via

BTW noaa had an alert for this day..

Anybody have any opinion on what's going on at PB207 this morning?

If it weren't a borehole I'd say it was wind. Man made noise? I do see a little bit of it on YMR. (The smaller stuff, the bigger stuff on YMR is most definitely noise or wind.)

My guess is wind, NOAA has that area in a High Wind Watch for most of the day.

I was wondering the same thing. It doesn't quite look like the typical 'noise' that you see at the YMR. There has been so much wierd rumbling all over the region of late that anything out of the 'norm' gets my interest. I'm sure we'll be keeping an eye on it!!

Why is the 3.6 in Utah significant to yellowstone again?

Just a question but im assuming that since the ground is raising by 7-12 cm each year in the centre of the yellowstone caldera, does this not indicate that the caldera is actually full to the brim? and so it's pushing upward on the earth now?

Here's an article which connects the whole region to Yellowstone.

www.deseretnews.com...

But what I came on here to write about is the webcam. I can't take it anymore. It's really windy and it's making me sea-sick. And I'm a fisherman and love boats. So I don't have problems with my equilibrium. It's the blood movement of the cam. Oh when will they give it a stable mount. It's in a freakin tree. It makes me feel like the whole room is really a treehouse and I'm in a windstorm. Sorry. Venting

Our latest update:

Volcano Update from Archive

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


During the month of April 2010, 117 earthquakes were located in the Yellowstone region. The largest event was a magnitude 3.3 on April 3rd at 9:15 PM MDT, located about 7 miles east southeast of West Yellowstone, MT. This event was part of a swarm which lasted from April 1st to the 7th. The swarm contained 52 earthquakes, with magnitudes 0.4 to 3.3. This latest swarm is considered part of the intense January/February Madison Plateau 2010 earthquake swarm that contained more than 2,300 earthquakes. A summary of the Madison Plateau swarm can be found at: volcanoes.usgs.gov...

Earthquake activity in Yellowstone continues at background levels.

Ground Deformation Summary: Continuous GPS data show that uplift of the Yellowstone Caldera has slowed significantly. Uplift rates for YVO GPS stations are less than 2.5 cm per year. The WLWY station, located in the northeastern part of the caldera, underwent a total of ~23 cm of uplift between mid-2004 and mid-2009. Its record can be found at:
pboweb.unavco.org...×eries=raw

The general uplift and subsidence of the Yellowstone caldera is of scientific importance and will continue to be monitored closely by YVO staff.

An article on the recent uplift episode at Yellowstone and discussion of long-term ground deformation at Yellowstone and elsewhere can be found at: volcanoes.usgs.gov...

Lots of little quakes have been added to the Intermountain West map, after the fact.

Here are just the Yellowstone ones

Most of these are very very small, but you'll notice they are dispersed all over the park rather than in one spot like the swarms of earlier this year.

Keep an eye on the Intermountain West animation:

quake.utah.edu...

keep your eyes focused on Yellowstone (where Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana meet) and notice how the quakes in WY, ID and MT seem to radiate out from the center. (Possibly Utah, too, although I think the stuff in the South is mostly aftershocks from the larger quake in southern Utah.)

Little one way out to the Eastern side of the park.

EDIT: So that's precicely 302km from the absolute centre of yellowstone national park, if that's any interest, it's about.. 264km closer than the UTAH earthquake two pages back measured at 3.7 or 3.8, and what look's to be at the absolute base of the yellowstone volcano according to google earth, you know those stretch marks you get as land is pushed up by magma, well the nice lengthy one on the south side of the volcano way down at the base is where this 4.9 earthquake occured. Wonders of google earth lol

Interesting because someone said UTAH is somehow? connected to yellowstone, he posted an article up there ^^^^^^ somewhere.
