Glad I'm on the east coast but if this super volcano blows it ain't gonna matter much.

[Jerk]

This is something I know nothing about, but I've seen Discovery Channel enough to know that it's not good.

[Jerk]

Glad I'm on the east coast but if this super volcano blows it ain't gonna matter much.

It could be worse than Y2K

[1890MilesToNorman]

It could be worse than Y2K

I'm in the same boat as you, TV info only. TV does use plenty of scare tactics, if it's gonna blow we can't do nothing about it.

[StoopTroup]

I might need a cigarette after it blows.

[StoopTroup]

For those that don't think it's a big deal...I wouldn't want to visit the park right now.

Not many people know that Yellowstone is a caldera volcano and it is one of the largest and most active calderas in the world. The word caldera is defined as a volcanic crater that has a diameter many times that of the vent and is formed by collapse of the central part of a volcano or by explosions of extraordinary violence. Most studies show that caldera volcanoes probably have only a single magma chamber at one time. The removal of large volumes of magma may result in loss of structural support for the overlying rock, thereby leading to the collapse of the ground and formation of a large depression.

Cataclysmic eruptions occurred in Yellowstone about 2 million years ago, 1.2 million years ago, and then 600,000 years ago ejecting huge volumes of rhyolite magma; each eruption formed a caldera and extensive layers of thick pyroclastic-flow deposits. The youngest caldera is an elleptical depression, nearly 50 miles long and 30 miles wide, that occupies much of Yellowstone National Park. This caldera is buried by several extensive rhyolite flows that erupted between 75,000 and 150,000 years ago.

Look on the bright side: The massive dust cloud that will encircle the Earth and blot out the Sun will end global warming.

[olevetonahill]

I wont Blow Untill 2012 then It aint gonna matter cause the Whole Mess Is coming to an then anyway .

[Jacie]

If it makes you feel any better then go stock up on enough canned food to feed your family for a year.

However, here is an analysis of the situation from someone who doesn't think that is neccessary.

Earthquake Swarm at Yellowstone Supervolcano: Update
January 01, 2009 03:21 PM ET | James Pethokoukis

So what is the latest with the ongoing earthquake swarm at the Yellowstone supervolcano caldera? Here is my just-completed email chat with Dr. Jacob Lowenstern of the U.S. Geological Survey, top scientist at the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory:

How would you characterize the recent level of seismic level? Terms like "swarm" are pretty alarming. How would place this level of activity in historical context to what the USGS/YVO have tracked before?

Lowenstern: Swarm refers to seismicity when there isn't a typical mainshock/aftershock sequence. In other words, the events are more similar in size. Swarms are very common at Yellowstone. This one is clearly bigger than normal, and is the largest since 1985. There were also some large swarms in the 1970s, but the seismic network was much cruder at that time and we weren't able to locate earthquakes as well.

Me: What might be the markers/indicators leading up to a major volcanic/seismic event? Do you think this is leading to a volcanic eruption of some sort? What does your gut tell you?

Lowenstern: The most likely "bad" things that could happen would be triggering of a larger earthquake or some sort of steam explosion set off beneath the lake. At this point, any kind of volcanic eruption is a long shot. That's why we haven't called for a volcano advisory. None of our other monitoring indicators show anything that is nearly so anomalous as the earthquakes. At this point, the most likely thing is that the swarm will continue, perhaps for weeks, and then will end without any other related activity.

Me: It is all or nothing? I mean, do we either get lots of small quakes leading to nothing vs. a supervolcano? Could there be grades of eruptions or events?

Lowenstern: There are LOTS of things in between. There have been 80 volcanic eruptions at Yellowstone since the last "supervolcano" eruption 640,000 years ago and hundreds of large steam explosions, some near the Lake. It is FAR more likely that we'd have a steam explosion or a small volcanic eruption than a supereruption. By the way, the last time a volcanic eruption occurred at Yellowstone was 70,000 years ago.

Me: So if we were leading up to a major event, what sorts of indicators might we expect to see? We haven't seen one in a long time.

Lowenstern: It is certainly an issue that the truly major events are not known on a human timescale. We've mostly witnessed the precursors to smaller eruptions. But before any kind of an eruption we'd expect a whole lot of change in the ground deformation as measured by GPS. Nothing has changed over the past week. We'd also expect larger earthquakes and a bunch of steam explosions before magma ever made it to the surface.


Me: What do you make of this comment from one of my readers: "It's not that there's lots of quakes or even that they're all within a mile or two of each other, the worrisome part is that they are all a few hundred yards apart from the surface down to 7.2 km defining a single chimney under high pressure causing radial fractures along its entire length. NPS says the magma chamber is as high as 8 km and if it is that close to the chimney reaching to 7.2 km, we may be in for an eruption. We need more info on this location and USGS should deploy the best seismic testing equipment in the Lake NOW."

Lowenstern: That is pretty fanciful. We've got a team of seismologists looking at the data. The swarm is over a 7 km length right now. None of the earthquakes are that big, so it may be that fluid pressure is moving around as rocks break and thus breaking new rocks. It's also important to realize that when your seismic stations are 10s of kms apart, you can't get good resolution on the depth. The best located earthquakes right now are shallower than 5 km, but greater than 3 kms. Most of the shallower reported depths are probably inaccurate.

[StoopTroup]

Whew. Time to feed the bears. Thanks Jacie.

[bluedogok]

How's this for some activity....

[StoopTroup]

Smokey the Bear says he's moving. I just got a text message from SicEm about it.

[AlbqSooner]

I don't know where I want to go when the volcano blows.

UP Wind . DUH

[VeeJay]

Gov. Blagojevich, if he's ever prayed in his life, is praying for this to happen.

Hell, not even the Israelis have knocked him off the front pages yet.
