Whats going on at yellowstone?

Mmmm now the majority are picking up this static.


Hello all.. Been a while..

I doubt highly it is ice at this point, the park is pretty well thawed by the end of may. I was there in April once, and it was mostly thawed already.

Look at the seismographs in yellowstone... wooooow ... whats going on there?

a heavy earthquake??? 5+ ?

Hi Austria, I replied to this in the QuakeWatch thread.

See my reply here

Was there 2 quakes in YS June 21?

M 1.2, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. 7.20 km (4.47 mi)
and same in another location at a depth of 11.50 km (7.15 mi)

Hi Roald, long time no see.

Yes it looks to be the case.

Date/Time UTC,Latitude,Longitude,Magnitude,Depth(Km),Location
22/06/2010 00:21:13,44.1827,-110.4018,1.20,7.20,Yellowstone National Park. Wyoming
21/06/2010 12:46:55,44.5590,-110.9465,1.20,11.50,Yellowstone National Park. Wyoming

Edit: Here they are in GE

Yes, have been some time since I was posting here, but I'm having a look here once in a while. Have the feeling that YS might start shaking again soon.

Have been too busy looking at data from the Demeter mission and studying piezoelectric discharges from rocks under stress. Plus I'm also having some new things showing up on my tectonic simulator.

Not that happy with the changes on ATS thou. Wanted to upload a modified eQuake Alert for those who have latest Firefox. Guess I'll find out how to do it later on.

2.7 - YELLOWSTONE NATIONALPARK, WYOMING


mmmmh...

They are so slow updating the small quakes we probably won't hear about any others until Monday unless they inch up above a 2.5 That last one was just downgraded to a 2.6, by the way. Location is right on the caldera rim.

If you want to watch for more small quakes, probably have to monitor YPP:

Does anyone have an IRIS link for a nearby station?

That's one wierd looking signature, don't you think? It seems to have been two bigger bangs and a whole bunch of smaller ones. Did you see the depth? 0.6 and it has been reviewed...if it doesn't change, that adds a little more interest, for me at least!

Good call Roald, I'm not sure what all you were talking about but you seemed to have been having the right 'feeling'. Does your studies indicate a sharp, quick release such as this small quake, or are you talking about another potential swarm?

I think I might load up GEE again...it has been awhile!

Well folks I'm headin down there with the family tomorrow. Should be there by Sunday! I'll let ya folks know the situation once I get my boots on the ground out there! Wish us luck!

Hopefully it will be a fun, and uneventful trip.

I've been watching GEE again today, too!

On TA.H17A (Grant Village) - what on earth is that signal c. 03:52???

reply to post by westcoast


I agree, it's weird looking. Looks a lot more concentrated at other stations but at YPP it's kind of a long rumble.

You wold think by now they would have technology to look through the earth and see what is down there and going on.

Hello there. Well, I'm not sure, but the 3-4 quakes that have been this June seems to spread to be the beginning of a new swarm. The two 1.2 quakes June 21 and June 24 was located in the same area as the January swarm while one 1.2 and the latest 2.6 are closer to Teton.

Still it's interesting.
Interesting for me since I do have some simulation running on my network.
A couple of more shaking and I'll be awake 24/7.

Ahh. What I was talking about is DEMETER (Detection of Electro-Magnetic Emissions Transmitted from Earthquake Regions) and you find some more info about it Here and Here

The piezoelectric discharges from rocks under stress that I study and do some lab tests with, addresses non-seismic pre-earthquake phenomena which precede large earthquakes. Some of them have been reported for centuries, even millenniums. The list is long and diverse: bulging of the Earth’s surface, changing well water levels, ground-hugging fog, low frequency electromagnetic emission, earthquake lights from ridges and mountain tops, magnetic field anomalies up to 0.5% of the Earth’s dipole field, temperature anomalies by several degrees over wide areas as seen in satellite images, changes in the plasma density of the ionosphere, and strange animal behavior.

I think you can find a report called Electromagnetic Fault for Earthquake Lightning at Department of Earth and Space Science, Faculty of Science, Osaka University, 1-1 Machikaneyama, Osaka 560, Japan

The earthquakes are now held at the edges of the old caldera. May show the earthquake the size of the new caldera, it would have the Yellowstone erupt soon..

i seriously doubt it . like i said before we have to have major quake swarms , all around the caldera . meaning large quake swarms with a min of a mag 6 .

these are normal quakes for the area .

Even weak earthquakes can have devastating effects on the magma chamber. Bad things inside the chamber trigger...

Moderate earthquakes can also be an indication of whether viscous magma clings to the top of the chamber. If this is so, then is that very very bad!

An earthquakeswarm of earthquakes of magnitude 6 will not stay in Yellowstone Park,... probably before the outbreak.

Earthquakes of magnitude 6 can only tectonic, causes for volcanic earthquakes are usually not more than 6.

But we can not see the future, we do not know when he breaks out. We can guess, but it will never know. Only when it happened.

The future I do not even want to see.

Was this stuff at the top of the plot what you were talking about.

YPP.WY..EHZ.2010.177 and YPM.WY..EHZ.2010.177

When you said an IRIS link, what did you mean?

Edit: By the way the red is the 2.6.

I was going to get the sound for that one but Vase is offline.

So instead here are a few more:
YPC.WY..EHZ.2010.177
YTP.WY..EHZ.2010.177
YMC.WY..EHZ.2010.177
LKWY.US.00.BHZ.2010.177
B207.PB..EHZ.2010.177
