Whats going on at yellowstone?

Nevermind.

I recently started looking at temperature graphs for YS and I noticed a marked upturn in the soil temperature at Vixen geyser. Might be something to watch. USGS hints it's ground water related. Soil temp went from 5 c to 70 c pretty quickly last week.

Sweet Thank you for that very much That is an aweful huge jump in temp. - something starting to brew it appears. I will be keeping a close eyeball on that.

wow i wonder if the ground temps are rising all over the park.. that might mean something

I should point out that this appears to be local to Vixen right now. That was the only unusual change I saw.

I don't know what it means, but the USGS now says that Vixen Temp info is unavailable. Looks fishy. Could it be a thermometer, or telemetry malfunction? Nuff said. volcanoes.usgs.gov...

By the time I got this posted the temp info was available again.

University of Utah geophysicists who created a large-scale image of the electrical conductivity of the underground plume of partly molten rock that feeds the Yellowstone supervolcano say it suggests the plume is even bigger than in earlier images made with earthquake waves.

"It’s a bigger size" in the geoelectric picture, said Smith. "We can infer there are more fluids" than shown by seismic images.

So basically... when she blows... it's going to be OMFG!

ETA... TrueAmerican started a thread on this subject here:

You beat to it. I was just going to say there's a new survey of Yellowstone and there's a new thread.

I can beat that feat though. I started a new religion. I know you've visited the thread. You should join, you'd be a bishop.

LOL!!! I love your new religion and new thread!!! I am also honored that you would appoint me as bishop. Thank you, kind sir!

Here is a very interesting document

Wyoming Underground Plume

Almost 17 million years ago, the plume of hot and partly molten rock known as the Yellowstone hotspot first erupted near what is now the Oregon-Idaho-Nevada border. As North America drifted slowly south-west over the hotspot, there were more than 140 gargantuan caldera eruptions – the largest kind of eruption known on Earth – along a north-east trending path that is now Idaho's Snake River Plain. The hotspot finally reached Yellowstone about two million years ago, yielding three huge caldera eruptions about two million, 1.3million and 642,000 years ago. Two of the eruptions blanketed half of North America with volcanic ash, producing 2,500 times and 1,000 times more ash, respectively, than the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens in Washington state.

That is just a bit disturbing. One would almost think that all the magma lava in the core of earth is connected??

Yeah ,. but there is nothing goin on in the park,.
Nada
zip
no thing
it is quiet
a little ground warming,.. pffffft,... no worries

wat about ground temps worldwide????
we never hear about it....source of global warming up??

Not to mention, some of us could then begin to actually live our lives without someone else telling us what we can and can not do. I'm ready, bring it on.

There's some real activity at Yellowstone Lake at the moment. I was at first thinking is was ice breaking up. But then I had to change that opinion when I looked around the other stations. It's showing up too far away and too pronounced to be ice cracking. And it is not just a quake or two in quick-time. It looked like an ongoing event.

Yup, USGS lists some quakes:

MAP 1.0 2011/04/14 11:27:04 44.414 -110.424 6.7 61 km ( 38 mi) ESE of West Yellowstone, MT
MAP 1.6 2011/04/14 11:22:09 44.411 -110.419 6.4 61 km ( 38 mi) ESE of West Yellowstone, MT
MAP 1.8 2011/04/14 11:19:12 44.417 -110.412 5.2 61 km ( 38 mi) ESE of West Yellowstone, MT
MAP 1.9 2011/04/14 11:16:21 44.407 -110.419 1.6 61 km ( 38 mi) ESE of West Yellowstone, MT
MAP 2.0 2011/04/14 11:15:34 44.406 -110.421 0.1 61 km ( 38 mi) ESE of West Yellowstone, MT
MAP 1.0 2011/04/14 11:02:07 44.410 -110.422 6.1 61 km ( 38 mi) ESE of West Yellowstone, MT

Whatever that was all about though it was over after 25 minutes.

I hope to god it wasn't fracking!

You're right man, Yellowstone is referred to as being on a "supervolcano" for a reason...it would almost certainly be a world-shaking disaster. A real doomsday scenario for America at the very least.

I wanted to post this so we have it here. Appears something is brewing under the surface here.

Soil temperature near Vixen Geyser, Yellowstone National Park
At this site, soil temperature is monitored about 15 cm beneath the ground surface. This region of the Norris Back Basin increased markedly in temperature during the Norris Disturbance of 2003 and soil temperature at this site may be an effective indicator for basin-wide changes in groundwater flow and heat discharge.

That looks BAD
Then again, im no expert, I dont know whats normal and whats not normal, and with all these false predictions its hard to belive anything anymore.

reply to post by Vandalour


It does look bad and it is bad. Since the earthquake in NZ last September earthquake activity has increased more than we have ever seen before. The Mayans predicted this would happen. Im not saying the world will end in 2012 but I truley believe life on planet earth will be so different to how it is today.

Earthquake activity is going to increase more and more over the coming years which is going to cause worldwide devistation. This could set off a chain reaction and cause Yellowstone to blow. If Yellowstone does blow and I believe there is a real risk of theat happening, I believe the the whole planet will be thrust into a nuclear winter. Millions will die all over the world.

I am preparing for this and have been for the last 12 months. I have huge stocks of food and water, clothing, camping gear, hunting supplies and I have mapped out my escape plan out in to the country. I have picked a particular cave system which goes miles below the earths surface. As I live in Australia I will have plenty of warning if Yellowstone blows. But even if it doesn't we just have to have a good look at whats happening in the world today. Earthquakes, Volcano Eruptions, Severe Storms, Tsunamis, Firestorms and its all started happening this year 2011 just as the Mayans said it would. But also we have to look at the nuclear threat from Pakistan and India. These are scary times I urge everyone to take what is happening very seriously. Everyone needs to prepare. Start stocking up on supplies and have a well thought out plan on how to survive.
