  3. How did Yellowstone caldera collapse? This week's #Yellowstone #CalderaChronicles looks for clues from observations and monitoring data during caldera collapses at other volcanoes in the 20th and 21st centuries.

  4. The largest earthquake recorded in Yellowstone National Park was the 1975 magnitude-6 event, and its importance to Yellowstone science exceeds even its considerable size. Today's #Yellowstone #CalderaChronicles shakes the story loose.

  6. Geyser Hill, near Old Faithful, has experienced some recent changes, with a general increase in thermal and geyser activity that resembles changes that occurred in September 2018. #Yellowstone #CalderaChronicles has the scoop!

  8. The chances of a volcanic eruption in the Yellowstone region are remote. So why monitor the volcano at all? This week's #Yellowstone #CalderaChronicles explores two very compelling answers to that question!

  10. #Yellowstone Caldera might be better known, but Valles Caldera is where some of the fundamental characteristics of calderas were first explored and understood. This week, #CalderaChronicles goes down New Mexico way to explore Yellowstone's older sibling!

  11. Yellowstone hydrothermal features can be acidic or basic depending not only on the source of the feeding fluids, but also bacteria that might resemble the early forms of life on Earth. #Yellowstone #CalderaChronicles has the story.

  13. We all know that Montana is Big Sky Country, but did you know it is Lava Flow Country as well? #Yellowstone #CalderaChronicles goes into the Sweetwater Hills in the southwestern part of the state to look at some Hawaiian-style basalt.

  14. This week's edition of #Yellowstone #CalderaChronicles goes on a deep dive to understand how hydrothermal vents on the floor of Yellowstone Lake compare to those on the ocean floor, like the famous “black smokers.”

  16. Much of the geological attention at Yellowstone is on the young volcanic rocks. This week's #Yellowstone #CalderaChronicles explores rocks exposed in and around the park that extend much farther back in time than the geologically recent volcanism.

  17. Thermal infrared satellite images don’t just make for nice pictures. They also give us quantitative information about surface temperatures. The heat is on in this week’s #Yellowstone #CalderaChronicles!

  18. When thinking of life in extreme environments, Yellowstone hot springs may be one of the first places to come to mind. Today’s #Yellowstone #CalderaChronicles visits another lesser-known extreme environment—the surfaces of snow fields in the high country!

  19. This week, #Yellowstone #CalderaChronicles acknowledges the passing of a legend--Bob Fournier, a USGS scientist whose work led to a better understanding of the subsurface conditions between Yellowstone's geysers and hot springs.

  20. ROAD TRIP!!! Today's #Yellowstone #CalderaChronicles takes a 30-minute drive along U.S. Rte 20 in Idaho, between Ashton and Island Park, to explore the first two caldera systems that formed in the Yellowstone region, 2.1 and 1.3 million years ago.

  21. Geologists are like detectives—they use a variety of investigative tools to understand how a landscape develops. Today, #Yellowstone #CalderaChronicles explores how geochemistry can link volcanic deposits to their sources, even over great distances.

  22. While Yellowstone’s geysers attract most of the attention, there are lessons just beneath the surface of the geyser basins about how life might have taken shape on Earth billions of years ago. #Yellowstone #CalderaChronicles digs down today to learn more.

  23. GIS (Geographic Information System) tools are about more than just making maps. Today’s #Yellowstone #CalderaChronicles explores how GIS systems can be used to organize complex geological datasets, like hot spring acidity.

  24. At a recent meeting of the International Union of Geological Sciences, Yellowstone was recognized for its spectacular geological heritage as one of the first 100 IUGS Geological Heritage Sites. This week's #Yellowstone #CalderaChronicles has the story.

  25. Lots of moving parts are required for volcano observatories around the world to communicate the hazards posed by active volcanism. Today’s #Yellowstone #CalderaChronicles pays homage to the groups that help to translate that knowledge into action.

  26. A relatively simple measurement—lake level—has yielded big dividends in Yellowstone, even helping volcanologists learn more about the properties of magma beneath the surface! #Yellowstone #CalderaChronicles rides the waves this week.

  27. Today, #Yellowstone #CalderaChronicles acknowledge Annie Carlson, Research Permitting Coordinator for Yellowstone National Park. For the past 5 years, Annie has helped to make hazards monitoring and scientific research possible in Wonderland!

  28. Isn’t life grand? #Yellowstone #CalderaChronicles thinks so. And speaking of grand, how about that Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone? We owe that amazing feature to a history of uplift, faulting, lava flows, alteration, and floods.

  29. This past Christmas saw a particularly challenging episode of Yellowstone misinformation that caused widespread concern. Information to counter these hoaxes is at your fingertips—literally! #Yellowstone #CalderaChronicles unwraps the story this week.

  30. This year, continuous gas monitoring capabilities in #Yellowstone National Park were boosted by the installation of an “eddy covariance station” near Mud Volcano. Who is “eddy,” you ask? This week’s #CalderaChronicles has the exclusive interview.

  31. The historic flooding event that hit the northern area of Yellowstone National Park in June 2022 forever changed the flow path of the Gardner River. And it forced #Yellowstone #CalderaChronicles to dig out a monitoring station from under 4 feet of debris!
