Emergency preparedness: How to prepare for the Yellowstone Caldera eruption

March 05, 2020 -

The modern Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) places the Pinatubo and Tambora eruptions at levels 6 and 7 respectively. If the Yellowstone Caldera were to explode, however, it would be ranked at a level 8 or even higher. This eruption would spew ash across almost the entirety of the United States. It would damage buildings, smother crops and shut down power plants, creating an unmitigated disaster that could lead to the deaths of thousands. Here's what you can do to prepare ...

Scientists report signs of potential eruption at Long Valley Caldera supervolcano

November 30, 2021 -

Scientists have warned of “alarming signs of possible volcanic activity” at the Long Valley caldera. The supervolcano is regarded as one of the most dangerous in the world. The caldera measures 20 miles long and 11 miles wide and reaches a depth of 3000 feet, making it one of the biggest calderas on the planet.

It is situated next to Mammoth Mountain in California and was originally formed 760,000 years ago in a devastating eruption that spewed ...

Scientists are closely watching an active supervolcano in California

February 18, 2020 - caldera is formed after an eruption brings magma to the surface. When magma fills the chamber below a volcano, this causes the crust to expand and the volcano grows. Following the eruption, that volume is displaced, which makes the ground above it sink down into a depression shaped like a bowl that is similar to a crater. This particular caldera is situated near the Nevada border south of Mono Lake.

Scientists note that the Long Valley caldera ...

One of the world’s largest supervolcanoes nearing eruption, scientists warn… would cause global cooling

October 01, 2017 -

Centuries ago, the volcanic caldera known as Campi Flegrei erupted just west of Naples, sending tons of ash into the atmosphere. This ash, rich in sulfur dioxide, blocked solar radiation, causing global temperatures to fall. The caldera is active today. Pressure is building as the super volcano nears eruption.Volcanoes curb greenhouse gases naturally and block solar radiation

If the super volcano were to erupt, it could potentially quell the hysteria ...

An ancient volcano lurks beneath Germany – is it capable of erupting?

March 07, 2022 - caldera that got submerged underwater.

If proven to have existed, the 12-mile-wide peak would unite a chain of six existing Aleutian volcanoes in the Islands of Four Mountains into the rim of a caldera – a huge crater that forms due to the inward collapse of landforms after a massive eruption. This meant that those six volcanoes, which include the very active Mount Cleveland, used to be the smaller vents of the supervolcano.

The Aleutian peaks are ...

Yellowstone Supervolcano hit by 43 earthquakes in April, sparking fears of impending eruption

May 07, 2021 -

Geologists with the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory (YVO) released a report regarding tectonic, volcanic and otherwise explosive activity at Yellowstone National Park. The report indicated that a total of 43 earthquakes occurred in the region in and around the National Park in April and that the tremors were accompanied by three eruptions from the famous Steamboat Geyser.

The largest seismic event was a minor earthquake of magnitude 2.5, with the epicenter of the quake located ...

NASA may accidentally set off the Yellowstone supervolcano in a risky effort to prevent it from blowing

August 21, 2017 -

Lying underneath the Yellowstone National Park is a huge magma chamber called a caldera, which is responsible for making geysers and hot springs hot. It erupts every 600,000 years and is home to scenic spots such as 10,000 hot springs, mud pots, and geysers, including the cone geyser called Old Faithful.

NASA Advisory Council on Planetary Defense former member Brian Wilcox shared a recent report regarding the recently-active caldera, noting, “I was a ...

“Tree kill zone” in Yellowstone National Park hints at new magma activity below the surface

Study: Yellowstone supervolcano holds TWICE the magma previously believed

December 09, 2022 - caldera contains 16 to 20 percent magma.

Min Chen, assistant professor at Michigan State University (MSU), assuaged people's fears by insisting that result of the study "does not indicate a future eruption is likely to occur." She said in a statement: "Any signs of changes to the system would be captured by the network of geophysical instruments that continuously monitors Yellowstone."

Unfortunately, Chen never got to see the final results as she unexpectedly ...

Yellowstone Volcano will not erupt soon, according to latest USGS report

August 10, 2021 - caldera to feed another eruption.

As for the earthquakes at Yellowstone, most of them are brittle events caused when rocks break because of stresses in the Earth's crust. Nobody has yet identified the long-period events commonly attributed to the magma movement. Even if these movements are observed, it still does not mean Yellowstone is ready to erupt.

Yellowstone supervolcano ready to blow? Rational analysis says it’s unlikely in your lifetime

July 21, 2017 -

It is true that if the Yellowstone caldera blows, it would blanket much of North America with up to three feet of ash, devastating the ecosystem, collapsing the food supply and leading to mass famine. However, with Yellowstone erupting only once every 600,000 years or so, is it really rational to focus preparedness efforts on something that's highly unlikely to happen in your lifetime?

In this video, I explain why we're all much wiser to focus on things that have ...

Yellowstone is STILL quaking; 2,500 tremors since June makes this the longest swarm in recorded history

October 09, 2017 - caldera. Finally, rising magma will cause explosions from the boiling-temperature geothermal reservoirs. Even with explosions, earthquakes, and notable ground uplift, the most likely volcanic eruptions would be the type that would have minimal affect outside the park itself," the researchers stated in a Daily Mail article.

Life on the ice: Extraterrestrial life on ice worlds could look like Hawaiian underwater creatures

February 18, 2020 - caldera is dominated by mats of iron-oxidizing bacteria, as well as a couple of fish and a few shrimp species.

"Since this environment is similar to what we might find, we predict, on other ocean worlds, we're hoping to get some answers as to what kinds of life might be there," Smith said.

Previous observations by NASA, through its Cassini spacecraft, have revealed that Enceladus’ oceans are likely full of gases like hydrogen, carbon dioxide and methane, ...

A quake in 1959 sent “time traveling” aftershocks that were felt 60 years later

February 05, 2020 -

In a study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, researchers from the University of Utah determined that the small earthquakes that rocked Maple Creek, just outside of Yellowstone volcano caldera, were not triggered by the normal flow of magma in the region. The tremors, according to the researchers, were in fact, aftershocks from the deadly Hebgen Lake earthquake that hit the area back in 1959.

The 1959 quake, according to records, took place ...

Volcanic activity in Antarctica responsible for changes in climate in the region; not global warming

October 06, 2017 - caldera of 10 kilometers. Its summit collapsed into the middle of it during an eruption, and it is believed to have been active for a few hundred thousand years.

University of Leicester Volcanologist John Smellie says that massive eruptions like the ones in question that can fundamentally alter our climate are still a very real possibility today. While one eruption might not necessarily be fatal, repeated ones over a prolonged period would have a long-lasting impact ...

Bacteria may travel around the world using “air bridges,” explaining how superbugs share genes

August 19, 2019 - caldera in Russia.

When these bacteria get infected by bacteriophages, they store molecular memories of the viral infection in CRISPR arrays. These highly-specialized DNA regions hold tiny samples of viral DNA so that the cell will remember the event. If a bacterial cell survives a viral infection, it passes those molecular memories to its offspring.

By looking at the arrangement of these molecular memories in a bacterial species, researchers are able to follow ...

Is the Yellowstone supervolcano about to blow? Global food supply would collapse for two years, causing a mass die-off of humans

June 27, 2017 - caldera," which forms after the evacuation of a magma chamber inside a volcano. "Even with explosions, earthquakes and notable ground uplift, the most likely volcanic eruptions would be the type that would have minimal effect outside the park itself."

But despite the fact that the USGS scientists don't believe Yellowstone poses an immediate threat to the United States, and even though the probability of a massive volcanic eruption currently sits at one in 730,000, ...

USGS issues Code Red warning following volcanic activity at Mauna Loa

December 01, 2022 - caldera.

Mauna Loa has erupted 33 times since 1843.

In 1881, the lava almost reached Hilo, the capital of the Hawaii island – also known as the Big Island. A fast-moving lava flow that stood 50 feet high wiped out the fishing village of Ho-opuloa in 1926. Twenty-four years later in 1950, residents at the Pahoehoe beach area literally ran for their lives as lava covered their homes. (Related: Think you can survive a volcanic eruption? Here’s what to expect....

Three volcanoes in Alaska are erupting, spewing lava, steam and ash

August 08, 2021 - caldera and a dome and is about 1,150 miles to the southwest of Anchorage. The reports came from Adak, a community of about 300 people living on an island 27 miles to the west of Great Sitkin. The reports from the community were later verified by AVO by webcam. The pictures indicate the lava accumulating on the summit crater, causing the lava dome to grow.

Waythomas noted that it is unusual for Great Sitkin to erupt with lava, but its level of activity has been "fairly ...
