Beneath Yellowstone National Park lies something extraordinary—a giant underground chamber filled with molten rock, trapped gases, and intense heat. For years, scientists have known about this ...

Graves of Geysers. Nowhere has geothermal energy taken a greater toll on the environment than in New Zealand. Much like Yellowstone, the Wairakei Basin of the country’s north island was once a ...

Yellowstone’s History of Massive Eruptions. Yellowstone has experienced three major eruptions over the past 2.1 million years, each leaving behind a caldera, a massive volcanic depression formed ...

Yellowstone caldera and resurgent domes are outlined in black. Thermal areas in the inset images are annotated with geothermal radiant emittance values in Watts per square meter ...

They found four pockets together contain more liquid magma than was present during large, caldera-forming eruptions at Yellowstone in the past (one 2.8 million years ago, one 1.3 million years ago ...

However, your average coal-fired power plant might emit up to 10,000 metric tonnes per day, so even a massive restless volcano like Yellowstone doesn’t add anything to the atmosphere compared to ...

University of Utah seismologists discovered and made images of a reservoir of hot, partly molten rock 12 to 28 miles beneath the Yellowstone supervolcano, and it is 4.4 times larger ...

"Being able to image what’s happening underground is important for everything from geothermal energy to storing carbon dioxide," said Schmandt in the statement. More on volcanoes: Scientists Say ...

Previous images of Yellowstone's supervolcano showed a low concentration of only 10 percent, but the new research observed that 16 to 20 percent of the caldera contains magma.
