Yellowstone National Park: Where geology is on display nearly everywhere!
Yellowstone Caldera Chronicles is a weekly column written by scientists and collaborators of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory. This week's contribution is from Richard Tollo, emeritus Professor of Geology at George Washington University. Yellowstone caldera viewed from Mount Washburn. The caldera is the low-lying area extending from the foothills of Mount Washburn in the foreground to the rugged mountains on the horizon. The incised valley of the Yellowstone River stretches from left to right in the middle distance. Steep valley walls are illuminated by sunlight in the center. Mount Washburn is a remnant andesitic volcano of the Eocene Absaroka Range. The hike
The lasting contributions of Yellowstone National Park naturalist George Marler
Yellowstone Caldera Chronicles is a weekly column written by scientists and collaborators of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory. This week's contribution is from Shaul Hurwitz, research hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey. George D. Marler (1898–1978) was a Yellowstone National Park ranger naturalist for more than four decades starting in 1931. He made long-lasting contributions to the understanding of hydrothermal activity in Yellowstone and published many of his detailed observations and interpretations in a series of seminal peer-reviewed journal papers. His publications mainly described and explained how hot springs in the geyser basins respond to earthquakes and climate. George Marler taking the
Medicine Lake Volcano part of newly-designated Sáttítla Highlands National Monument
Aerial view west across the upper part of Medicine Lake Volcano toward Mount Shasta, with the caldera lake labeled in the distance. The volcano has erupted numerous times over its half-million-year history, including 9 times in the last 5,000 years. The youngest among these eruptions created the 950-year-old Glass Mountain flow, a known source of obsidian for indigenous people. The name "Sáttítla" translates to "obsidian place" in the Ajumawi language. The volcano, although currently dormant, is considered active with the ability to erupt again in human lifetimes. As a result, it has been designated by the USGS as a “high
USGS Researchers Join Collaborators at National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP) Hurricane Coastal Impacts Project Meeting
The National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP) Hurricane Coastal Impacts (NHCI) project aims to document the height, extent, and timing of storm surge and waves as they evolve in the nearshore environment and dissipate across natural and man-made landscapes. The National Oceanic Partnership Program (NOPP) Hurricane Coastal Impacts project was formed to improve predictions of coastal impacts from landfalling hurricanes by providing more detailed observations of boundary conditions, offshore forcings, and coastal impacts, which reduce the uncertainties in the numerous steps within the offshore-to-onshore prediction process and provide ground-truth data to validate the models. The goal of the project was to
Wildlife in Yellowstone National Park’s Thermal Basins
Yellowstone Caldera Chronicles is a weekly column written by scientists and collaborators of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory. This week's contribution is from Stanley Mordensky, geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey. View of the vibrant, multicolored extremophilic bacteria in the outflow from Grand Prismatic Spring at the Midway Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park. Photo by Elizabeth Mordensky, May 12, 2024. When considering life in Yellowstone’s thermal basins, extremophiles—organisms that thrive in, if not require, extreme temperature or acidic conditions—come immediately to mind. Some of these extremophiles vibrantly display colorful bacterial mats characteristic of some thermal features (like the extremophilic bacteria of
FEMA-Funded Temporary School Receives National Award for Construction Management Achievement
FEMA-Funded Temporary School Receives National Award for Construction Management Achievement YouTube Video Here: Temporary King Kamehameha III Elementary School Installation is Complete - YouTube LAHAINA, Maui– Every school day, on a hillside overlooking the West Maui coastline, King Kamehameha III Elementary welcomes hundreds of children to its campus. It’s a temporary replacement for their former waterfront school, which served Lahaina’s children for more than a century until wildfires destroyed the school and much of the historic town. Remarkably, the temporary school was built in a matter of months. The major federal disaster declaration on Aug. 10, 2023, enabled the Federal Emergency
Overflight of National Parks
In May, National Park Service (NPS) Rangers noticed a tour helicopter flying dangerously low and close to the Montezuma Castle cliff dwelling. In doing so, the pilot was risking serious damage to the site’s ancient architecture. To help protect Montezuma Castle-and other noise sensitive areas, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) advises pilots maintain a minimum altitude of 2,000 feet above National Park units (FAA Aeronautical Information Manual, AIM 7-4-6) . While this is a request, damage to archeological sites caused by low flying aircraft can also result in civil and criminal penalties. Many companies offer packages that allow tourists to
