YELLOWSTONE WATCH

To see if any quakes occurred near a certain spot on the seismogram, just click the center of the trace line close to the event of interest. If any quakes were recorded between three minutes before your click and thirty seconds after it, they'll show up on the report. Just remember: quakes can go unreported for three or four days, depending on when they get around to them; the latest quake I have occurred at 22:48:51 on 2011/08/17 (MST).

Yellowstone Activity
 
http://theinterveners.org/Yellowstone/wrapper.php?file=YMP_EHZ_WY_01.2011021700.gif[/center]

Commentary from seismologists:
There's a distinct Multiphase Harmonic tremor which means the caldera is showing tension and will release eruptions in order to relieve the stress. These seismo anomolies don't resemble anything like quake readings. They have been going on for some time too. Awhile back there were readings that looked like they could be harmonic tremors as they resembled known harmonic tremor readings. Harmonic tremors are a good sign there will be (eruption) activity in the near days at Yellowstone. (will likely erupt mid-March toward the end of March - there was a swarm of 30 quakes in 24 hours that were deleted from initial reports)

And it's present throughout most of the siesmos in the area, seems to be focused towards the southeast of the old caldera.

Watch to see if the signal gets stronger and develops shortwave harmonics.

Steam eruption VEI 1-3

Localized eruption AOE ~20 km rad

Timeframe is always difficult to pin with regular Volcanoes with Super-Volcanoes more so, but if it is to occur likely in 2-3 weeks (mid March)

When most Americans think of Yellowstone, they tend to conjure up images of Yogi Bear and "Old Faithful". But the truth about Yellowstone is much more frightening than that. Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming is actually sitting right on top of a massive supervolcano. This supervolcano has erupted before, and scientists tell us that when it fully erupts again it will destroy the United States as we know it. So could such an eruption happen any time soon? Well, scientists tell us that Yellowstone is actually overdue for a major eruption and there are thousands of earthquakes in the Yellowstone area every single year. In addition, scientists that monitor Yellowstone have been quite alarmed that some areas of Yellowstone have risen by as much as ten inches over the past few years. So yes, there are some good reasons to be really, really concerned about what is going on at Yellowstone.

The truth is that the Yellowstone supervolcano is the biggest volcano in North America by far. A major eruption at Yellowstone would permanently change all of our lives in just a single day.

In fact, a major eruption at Yellowstone would permanently end America's status as a superpower in just a single day.

So exactly what would an eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano look like?

What exactly would a full eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano mean for the United States and for the rest of the world?

Well, the following are 11 facts about the Yellowstone supervolcano that are more than a little bit frightening....

#1 A full-scale eruption of Yellowstone could be up to 1,000 time more powerful than the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980.

#2 A full-scale eruption of Yellowstone would spew volcanic ash 25 miles up into the air.

#3 The next eruption of Yellowstone seems to be getting closer with each passing year. Since 2004, some areas of Yellowstone National Park have risen by as much as 10 inches.

#4 There are approximately 3,000 earthquakes in the Yellowstone area every single year.

#5 In the event of a full-scale eruption of Yellowstone, virtually the entire northwest United States will be completely destroyed.

#6 A massive eruption of Yellowstone would mean that just about everything within a 100 mile radius of Yellowstone would be immediately killed.

#7 A full-scale eruption of Yellowstone could also potentially dump a layer of volcanic ash that is at least 10 feet deep up to 1,000 miles away.


#8 A full-scale eruption of Yellowstone would cover virtually the entire midwest United States with volcanic ash. Food production in America would be almost totally wiped out.

#9 The "volcanic winter" that a massive Yellowstone eruption would cause would radically cool the planet. Some scientists believe that global temperatures would decline by up to 20 degrees.

#10 America would never be the same again after a massive Yellowstone eruption. Some scientists believe that a full eruption by Yellowstone would render two-thirds of the United States completely uninhabitable.

#11 Scientists tell us that it is not a matter of "if" Yellowstone will erupt but rather "when" the next inevitable eruption will take place.

For much more on the Yellowstone supervolcano and what a major eruption would mean for the United States, check out the CNN video news report posted below....
http://beforeitsnews.com/story/411/662/Could_An_Eruption_Of_The_Yellowstone_Supervolcano_Destroy_The_United_States_As_We_Know_It.html

Yellowstone National Park's supervolcano just took a deep "breath," causing miles of ground to rise dramatically, scientists report.

The simmering volcano has produced major eruptions—each a thousand times more powerful than Mount St. Helens's 1980 eruption—three times in the past 2.1 million years. Yellowstone's caldera, which covers a 25- by 37-mile (40- by 60-kilometer) swath of Wyoming, is an ancient crater formed after the last big blast, some 640,000 years ago.

(See "When Yellowstone Explodes" in National Geographic magazine.)

Since then, about 30 smaller eruptions—including one as recent as 70,000 years ago—have filled the caldera with lava and ash, producing the relatively flat landscape we see today.

But beginning in 2004, scientists saw the ground above the caldera rise upward at rates as high as 2.8 inches (7 centimeters) a year. (Related: "Yellowstone Is Rising on Swollen 'Supervolcano.'")

The rate slowed between 2007 and 2010 to a centimeter a year or less. Still, since the start of the swelling, ground levels over the volcano have been raised by as much as 10 inches (25 centimeters) in places.

"It's an extraordinary uplift, because it covers such a large area and the rates are so high," said the University of
Utah's Bob Smith, a longtime expert in Yellowstone's volcanism.

Scientists think a swelling magma reservoir four to six miles (seven to ten kilometers) below the surface is driving the uplift. Fortunately, the surge doesn't seem to herald an imminent catastrophe, Smith said. (Related: "Under Yellowstone, Magma Pocket 20 Percent Larger Than Thought.")

"At the beginning we were concerned it could be leading up to an eruption," said Smith, who co-authored a paper on the surge published in the December 3, 2010, edition of Geophysical Research Letters.

"But once we saw [the magma] was at a depth of ten kilometers, we weren't so concerned. If it had been at depths of two or three kilometers [one or two miles], we'd have been a lot more concerned."

Studies of the surge, he added, may offer valuable clues about what's going on in the volcano's subterranean plumbing, which may eventually help scientists predict when Yellowstone's next volcanic "burp" will break out.

Exploding with a force a thousand times more powerful than the 1980 eruption of Mount St Helens, the super-volcano beneath Yellowstone National Park would spew lava far into the sky and dump a layer of plant-killing ash 10-feet-deep up to 1,000 miles away.

Imagine what 10 feet of ash would do to the lakes and rivers, even to the oceans. Say goodbye, fish. Say goodbye, cattle. Say goodbye, crops. Say hello, ice age.

"Two-thirds of the U.S. could become uninhabitable as toxic air sweeps through it, grounding thousands of flights and forcing millions to leave their homes," says journalist Daniel Bates.

I don't think it would force them to leave their homes. I think they'd die in their homes as their roofs collapsed. Volcanic ash is much heavier than snow.

"This is the nightmare that scientists are predicting could happen if the world’s largest super-volcano erupts for the first time in 600,000 years, as it could do in the near future," Bates continues. "Yellowstone National Park’s caldera has erupted three times in the last 2.1million years and researchers monitoring it say we could be in for another eruption.

"They said that the super-volcano underneath the Wyoming park has been rising at a record rate since 2004 - its floor has gone up three inches per year for the last three years alone, the fastest rate since records began in 1923.

"But hampered by a lack of data they have stopped short of an all-out warning and they are unable to put a date on when the next disaster might take place.

"The University of Utah's Bob Smith, an expert in Yellowstone's volcanism told National Geographic: ‘At the beginning we were concerned it could be leading up to an eruption

"But he added: ‘Once we saw the magma was at a depth of ten kilometres, we weren't so concerned.

‘If it had been at depths of two or three kilometre we'd have been a lot more concerned.’

"Since the most recent (super volcanic) blast 640,000 years ago there have been around 30 smaller eruptions, the most recent of which was 70,000 years ago."

I wonder how many of those smaller eruptions coincided with the ice-age cycle?

The super-volcano beneath Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming has been rising at a record rate since 2004. ‘Clearly some deep source of magma feeds Yellowstone, and since Yellowstone has erupted in the recent geological past, we know that there is magma at shallower depths too,’ said Dan Dzurisin, a Yellowstone expert with the U.S. Geological Survey at Cascades Volcano Observatory in Washington State.

We better hope this stays stable until after tomorrow at least and hopefully up to the 29th at best...

That happens and We've averted the ET Communications Timeline at least up to that Point.

What comes after is a crap shoot IMO...

The latest communication on this is that it will be a small eruption. The most dangerous period is between the 18th and 22nd.

Yeah I hear Ya Sis but I'm intending - No Eruption of Yellowstone...

You can't Blame Me for the effort can Ya ?

Actually a small eruption may be of benefit given how much the lava has risen under the lake. Small is much better then ELE.

Well then hopefully this second one at YMR Station is also of benefit.



That's two.

What Magnitude are They as Its hard to tell by the Charts. You're talking about the Madison River Seismograph right ?

Yellowstone has been rumbling a lot lately. In looking around the Park though - The rest of the Park seems pretty quiet compared to the Madison River Seismograph don't You think ?
