New Potential Uplift in NW Yellowstone?

So after spending a bit more time taking a look at some of the GPS readings around Yellowstone, I don't see much of anyone talking about this. It appears, unless I am flat out wrong for whatever reason, that many stations in the NW part of the park by Hebgen Lake are showing upwards trends on the vertical scales. You can see the main map of GPS stations here:

www.uusatrg.utah.edu...

And I have prepped a map with a green circle to show you where I am talking about:


Yes, that's a thumbnail, click to enlarge! Go to the link though for the clickable map.

Included so far, stations that are showing this upward trend are stations from P460 headed south all the way down to P361. Now that's a pretty good bit of area. But click on each station in the green circle and look at the bottom of the three charts for the vertical (up and down) displacements.

See what I am talking about? They all appear to be on the rise, and some quite sharply.

Interestingly, there has been recent seismic activity, although small, near this area, on the southeast side of Hebgen Lake. With the apparent ground uplift, I am wondering if this could be magma injection, or possibly uplift from gas pressure. Because they did apparently find and map a humongous gas chamber in the northwest of the park.

Magma, gas, or water- any of these causes could be it, but the point remains. And something to keep an eye on, me thinks.

edit on Wed Jan 18th 2012 by TrueAmerican because: (no reason given)

Things have been fairly quiet in Virginia, then today we had a 2.5 at 8:08 a.m., followed by a 2.0 at 9:19 a.m., and another 2.5 at 4:03 p.m. I know they're small, just hope they don't increase. We found some damage inside our chimney from the 5.8 in Aug, and I recently noticed a floor to ceiling crack in one corner of our dining room.

At time of posting it is still not reported on BGS, which is a bit 'peculiar'

I don't count that last one as a 5+ as it was actually 4.985ML (splitting hairs I know )

Made a mistake in my last post, there were 8 Mag 5's at that stage, 9 now.
I added the dots on my graph above the 5 line, but it hadn't been updated with the ones on the 14th and 15th

ETA;
Keeping track of the 2012 NZ 5+'s here
(snapshot cropped)
also same style back to 2010
The Timeline graphs go by quake after quake rather than the dates, so if there are not many quakes (like in the last 3 days) the graph gets crunched tight, its the easiest way to draw them to get 18,000 dots on there by the end of the year and still gives an overall view of the year.

Another style graph done on a month by month basis

Maybe someone can help me? I was just checking the old-style webicorders around Mt. Rainier found here

The event at approximately 14:08:00 UTC caught my eye because it shows on all of the nearby seismo (FMW, RCS, RCM, LO2 AND STAR). Then I started clicking on links for the other volcanoes just out of curiosity.
That trace shows up from Glacier Peak in the north, down to the Sisters in the south. It looks closest to station TDH-Tom Dick & Harry (lurv this name, lol).

"Geez, this must be larger than I thought". But I can't find it on USGS mag 1+ list.

Am I just missing it as it stares me in the face? Is it too small to make the Mag 1+ list? Or is this from some sort of non-seismic secret squirrel source phenomenon?

Could it be this one? Just NW of Rainier.....(I'm horrible at converting times, but I think that's close)

I don't think so. That mag 2.2 (I see it was upgraded from 2.1) happened about 2-1/2 hours after the one I was looking for. But that is only 4 or so miles from Rainier's base.

Look at this webi from Mount Hood

I can't seem to locate it closer to the shore, so now I'm looking farther east. I dunno...maybe it will be added at a later date?

ETA: wc, I think Pacific time is UTC minus 8 hours. So, the event I'm trying to find happened about 6:07 am your time.

Umm, I appreciate the plug and all, but you have taken my thread, that asks about new uplift from a very different part of the park, and used it as an attempt to counter PuterMan's point. While to casual observers that may have appeared effective, I assure you, that to both me and PuterMan at the very least, you are not being effective with that point. Because it isn't very much of a point.

I'm not saying it mean. I'm not saying it nasty, and I'm not saying it for any other reason than to say "nice try, but no." k?

Thanks.

41 aftershocks from the SW Puysegur Bank (south of the South Island, NZ) 5.8ML, quite a few of them on the 4.5+ range
interactive map

I think USGS might have been right in the first instance with 6.1Mw
Geofon still holding at 6.1
EMSC at 6.0Mw
Russians had 6.0mb, which is quite high for mb, but no Ms reading on this one. Only 4 stations used there.

I will put something out there that is a bit far out but I promise is the truth.

Well before the dead blackbirds and swarms started about 2 years ago I started getting very very specific dreams and some clairvoyant stuff about "Little Rock".

I cant control this thing, but it was very very strong for about 3- 4 months I was expecting some news about "Clinton" one of them, an earthquake, false flag whatever very very big.

Ive never been wrong on this before when it has been so intense or for so long.

I never normally put these on ATS, in fact besides some things with friends and people close to me where its weekly I don't get "world events" much at all 4 times in my life.

I couldn't stop looking at the volcanoes underneath the pacific from the California to Japan in the day before the big tsunami, but not specific to date or exact place within 1 degree arc though lat/lon, looking for the link seeing something important tracing my mouse from calif to japan checking out the eq's researching it, I very nearly did an thread but had no "evidence"

"Little rock" will be epicentre of something big, maybe not seismic but something world changing in the extreme, no where else there, definately little rock unless it is something to do with the "Clinton's"

I have never been wrong before, when it is this strong and sustained and certain. I made one call based on one dream concerning a bad EQ Tidal problems maybe Tsunami in Med thankfully that has not happened yet.

I am not mad, not on drugs not fantasizing or mentally ill having hallucinations, do lots of mind yoga maybe even dream yoga an dream is an dream, this is very different and I know from my life they have always been 100% spot.

The only confusing thing for me is that there has never been such an long time between what I experienced and the "event" and the fact it was 100000% times more powerful and persistant than anything else I have experienced.

"Little Rock" will in one way or another in the near future be the most important place anywhere for whatever the reason is, my feelings was quake but lots of water involved to very strange.

Mock ahead trolls im not like these posts you normally see on the net, some here who have seen my consistency over the years know I wouldn't say this unless true, based on some knowledge of these things and had certainty of it.

One day & I don't know when as I am suprised already at interval, one day I will log in to ATS & re quote this post on what will become the biggest thread of ATS ever, about something happening to do with Little Rock that will affect the whole world in one way or another.

Whatever it is it will be spot on under, around, living in, happens in, little rock not 20 miles away not 10 miles away at the place.

Love

Elf

It is normally best not to talk of these things and experiences but I am drawn to share it and I don't know why as I have not when the reports first came out and made me think it had started, but I was meant to for someone to read this just one person dont know why, I am sure you will when you read it lol. Edit to add I actually have 2 emails I sent to friend for "proof" when I experienced this I will also one day past those in with the time date stamps and proof of such like :-) (after the event-reason not now co creation self fulfilling and all that)

In N. Indiana and our house just shook,
felt like a quake for sure but didn't last long.
Anyone else feel this?

And it just happened again. Not as strong
this time.

reply to post by crazydaisy

I am on FB with some friends who live there. Will ask them.
Social media is handy at times

Nope, no one up there felt anything. But there is some big snow coming in right now, maybe a pressure change did some ground shifting? Happens here before big storms
