Yellowstone supervolcano eruption fears

Yellowstone supervolcano eruption fears as scientists worry about 'crater movement'
Yellowstone National Park is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the US, but it is also home to one of the world's largest active volcanic systems
Will Yellowstone Erupt Soon? Scientists Are Using New Techniques to Find Out
Using magnetotellurics, researchers produced a detailed picture of the magma beneath Yellowstone, offering insights into a distant future of possible volcanic activity
Yellowstone volcanic activity is on the move, experts say — but will it erupt anytime soon?
Yellowstone National Park, known for erupting geysers like Old Faithful, is home to one of earth’s largest volcanic systems, with the capacity to wreak havoc on an entire continent — and components of that so-called supervolcano are on the move, experts say.
Scientists reveal why the mighty Yellowstone isn't ready to blow
New research reveals why the famously steamy park, hosting over 500 hot geysers, shows no signs of blowing its top. These days, the reservoirs of magma (molten rock) that feed Yellowstone hold pretty low concentrations of this magma. They simply don't contain enough volcanic fuel to drive the heat and pressure that would stoke an eruption.
Yellowstone Won't Erupt Anytime Soon, Scientists Confirm
"This number is based simply on averaging the two intervals between the three major past eruptions at Yellowstone—this is hardly enough to make a critical judgment," the USGS Yellowstone fact sheet reads. "Catastrophic geologic events are neither regular nor predictable."
Yellowstone supervolcano leaves scientists on alert as explosion risk laid bare
A new study has sought to answer the pressing question: when will Yellowstone erupt and what will be the consequences?
Scientists track changes at the Yellowstone supervolcano. Could it blow again?
The giant supervolcano that lies under Yellowstone National Park is cooling off in the west but staying hot in the northeast.
Will Yellowstone National Park erupt? Scientists have new answers.
New mapping of the magma lying beneath Yellowstone National Park sheds light on where volcanic activity is shifting, and the likelihood of a full-scale eruption.
Yellowstone Volcanic Activity on the Move, Geologists Warn
Large explosive eruptions occur in Yellowstone around once every 700,000 years, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
Yellowstone eruption risk shifts northeast, warns USGS experts
Geologists from the USGS have warned about changes in the volcanic activity of Yellowstone, which may shift to the northeast, reports Newsweek. The latest research conducted by scientists at the United States Geological Survey (USGS) suggests a potential shift in magma activity under the Yellowstone supervolcano towards the northeast.
Yellowstone's Volcanic Activity Is Changing
Those living in fear of a supervolcano eruption at Yellowstone National Park can breathe easy: The park may be sitting on a lot of magma, but there's no risk of a volcanic eruption in our lifetimes, according to a new study.
