SEL,

This is a great little video for those of us who have not been to Yellowstone (yet). The scenes really "bring home" the volatile character of the park. He suggests that the Yellowstone "hotspot" is the remnant of the of massive volcanic activity on Pangea which led to the Permian extinction event (the largest in the history of the planet), 500 million years ago. He is the first person I have heard suggest that this ancient vulcanism was due to a metorite impact - interesting. Out of curiosity I will try to find out if that portion of North America was once the area of Pangea which underwent the massive eruptions.

Thanks.

Have you looked here? theinterveners.org...

Tell my why 5 years of archived data from multiple areas of YVO don't have wind contamination please?

Thanks for clearing that up. Are there any pictures of the YML station?

So most likely the increased activity happening at Mary Lake's just a consequence of strong winds?

I'm not sure...but if he is just a private geologist...then they better get a USGS one and make it official!

*Edit*

OH!!!
Ha-ha-ha!!!

So,
are we hearing the familiar words of any scary movie...
"Get....out!"

I've been following the USGS and Yellowstone data since it started as well....this guy Chris Sanders...it MUST be noted that HE IS NOT A REPRESENTATIVE of USGS.

His state of emergency page looks nearly identical to the actual USGS page HOWEVER the USGS has NOT put out any alerts thus far.

Mr. Sanders is providing some awesome information (although his Giraldo Rivera impersonation is grossly overacted LMAO)

If and when there is an actual Alert it will come from either FEMA, Homeland security and USGS.

I point this out only to hopefully prevent a mass panic...BUT if I lived there I'd be packing personally.

USGS

Kudos to all who've been adding info and following intensely.

Has GEE come back online yet? I tried to get it open and the server error notice froze it....

Then maybe you can explain why YUF shows absolutely no harmonics, and is closer to the swarm than other more exposed seismographs? Apparently you didn't' look at the external picture of the exposed seismograph at Lake Yellowstone.

Quick answer: Because YUF is not exposed to the elements and shows techtonic movement only. The same with the Old Faithful recorder located in the visitor center there.

But hey, don't take my word for it. How about those that run the thing?

"Station BTU at Barney Top, Utah is sensitive to wind. This is several night-time hours of wind generated noise. Station ICU in Indian Springs Canyon, Utah and some of the Yellowstone National Park stations are also sensitive to wind. "

www.quake.utah.edu...


hmmm, some seismo's there sensitive to wind AND 39 mph gusts. Doesn't take a scientist to figure that one out.

It seems like he is in fact a private geologist that also dabbles in medicinal marijuana and biofuels. Seems odd, he may have the credentials, but it doesn't seem like he has the expertise. In my own opinion anyway. The majority of the photos on his page are pot leaves so I personally think twice before saying his warning is worth heeding.

Sorry if this has been posted

From Jan 22'nd until Jan 25 there was a blizzard in Yellowstone..

Google link here: /7rtev4

Blizzard is snow + wind..

The archived data from LKWY for the 22 is this...

theinterveners.org...

Where is the wind contamination? Where?

Not Authorized, you do know that the USGS and FEMA, and the MSM is calling this a swarm of EARTHQUAKES, right? I think they would probably know the difference between wind and earthquakes, even if we ignorant folk don't.
Geez...

I agree with DustyStrings. If the geologists at YVO don't know how to prevent and/or filter out the effects of wind on their seismograph readings, then they don't deserve to be employed there. They review all events before official posting...

Agreed. It felt to me like he was trying to drive traffic to his site based on a warning he knew a lot of people were looking for validation on. Just my opinion.

Hey Look, it's wind. I didn't have to go back very far.

Shall I go find more?

"If and when there is an actual Alert it will come from either FEMA, Homeland security and USGS."

I would hope you are right.
However, having been with this thread lo these many days, and the thoughts that have traveled around here about FEMA and Homeland, my best bets are with USGS if they can break away and stand on their own thoughts.

It's amazing how you guys prove your point with solid evidence. It seems like the guy posting his wind theory won't post again =) .
