The last supereruption at Yellowstone volcano was preceded by multiple explosions taking place over the course of decades, scientists have discovered. The Lava Creek Tuff eruption took place 631,000 years ago and researchers studying the event have found unexpected rock deposits that suggest the event was far more complicated than previously thought.
Increasingly severe drought conditions are raising concerns that the famous geysers at Yellowstone National Park could erupt less frequently or stop altogether.
Two newly discovered super-eruptions have been found hidden in the geological history of Yellowstone National Park – including one that ranks in the fifth biggest volcanic eruption of all time.
In northwestern Wyoming, in the center of Yellowstone National Park, a bubbling caldera is the scar of a 640,000-year-old, gargantuan volcanic eruption.
Scientists recently rejected the claim that the Yellowstone caldera is overdue for its regular 600,000-year supereruption. However, one week later, researchers announced their surprise at discovering new thermal areas developing.
A 100-foot crack at Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming have prompted officials to close certain areas to tourists.
Scientists have devised a new way to estimate how fast magma is “recharging” beneath the Yellowstone supervolcano, according to a new study published in the journal Geosphere.
Yellowstone National Park’s Steamboat Geyser just erupted for the third time in two months, and scientists aren’t sure why.
A swarm of more than 200 earthquakes struck Yellowstone National Park over the past two weeks, but that probably doesn’t mean the “big one” is coming anytime soon, according to geologists from the park. The 200 temblors began on Feb. 8 and ramped up on Feb. 15 in an area about 8 miles (13 kilometers)
A new study explains how a lemon-shaped virus assembles itself and how the virus ejects the DNA it carries into host cells.
