Whats going on at yellowstone?, page 7

A new satellite-based technique known as Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) allows direct and precise measurement of the vertical changes in ground level. This InSAR image of the area around the Yellowstone Caldera (dotted line) shows vertical changes during the 4-year period 1996–2000. The ringed pattern centered northwest of Yellowstone Lake is a prominent area of dome-shaped uplift. Each complete cycle of colors in the color bands represents a little more than one inch (28.3 mm) of vertical change. Yellow triangles are continuous GPS stations; white dots are locations of earthquakes in the period 1996–2000.

So in this picture you can see the uplift changes in ground level from 1996-2000 as well as previous earthquakes in that time frame. Take a look at Yellowstone Lake, quite a few in the same area as the current swarm. Technology is a great advantage to tracking and analyzing the Yellowstone Caldera.

Don't know if it is my pc but on this page i click to go 5 days earlier but the image doesn't show up.
If i take another webi all the image's show up fine.

Are the data from this webi from before 3 days deleted?

@Springheel Jack. But really in the middle of the lake there is no data.
as seen on the image.

My feeling say also.. there is one or two huge one's underway.
The two is for those webbot guys.

I understand that Yellowstone being a supervolcano is unique and that scientists studying it cannot predict 100% what it will do, but they do have previous not so 'small' eruptions to study such as Krakatoa, Helens, Vesuvius, Pinatubo as well as others...I can't see how studying those eruptions would not help them understand the physics of Yellowstone.

Vulcanism looks to me as a being consistent set of physics whether a 'small' volcano or a 'super' volcano. I am by no means an expert but I just don't think that its an apples to oranges comparison, but a marble to bowling ball comparison. Same physics at work just on a much larger scale.

Hey, your listed site is listed as an 'ATTACK SITE' by my security software. No one else click on this, ok? Just making sure. No one wants a trojan horse.

Here is a nice video from First Science of a possible eruption:

Hmm, very curious... I found this live webcam at old faithful, been watching and have seen the camera shake several times. And keep in mind that old faithful is a pretty good ways west of yellowstone lake.

There's also people out near the geysers?

This is a live streaming webcam, with what appears to be an overdubbed, looping audio stream presentation, because I have heard the same thing repeated now. Check it out:

www.nps.gov...

from

www.nps.gov...

you may need to install the Windows media player 11 plugin for firefox, so follow instructions to install.

So I ask why's the cam shaking periodically? Is that normal prior to old faithful's eruptions or something....? Hope so...

edit: might be the wind...

No super-volcano has gone off in recorded history.

Known super-volcano explosions:
Estimates of the volume of ejected material are given in parentheses.

VEI 8 eruptions have happened in the following locations.

Lake Taupo, North Island, New Zealand - Oruanui eruption ~26,500 years ago (~1,170 km3)
Lake Toba, Sumatra, Indonesia - ~75,000 years ago (~2,800 km3)
Whakamaru, North Island, New Zealand - Whakamaru Ignimbrite/Mount Curl Tephra ~254,000 years ago (1,200-2,000 km3)[5]
Yellowstone Caldera, Wyoming, United States - 640,000 years ago (1,000 km3)
Island Park Caldera, Idaho/Wyoming, United States - 2.1 million years ago(2,500 km3)
Kilgore Tuff, Idaho, United States - 4.5 million years ago (1,800 km3)
Black Tail Creek, Idaho, United States - 6.6 millions years ago (1,500 km3)
La Garita Caldera, Colorado, United States - Source of the truly enormous eruption of the Fish Canyon Tuff ~27.8 million years ago (~5,000 km3)
The Lake Toba eruption plunged the Earth into a volcanic winter, eradicating an estimated 60%[6][7][8][9][10] of the human population (although humans managed to survive, even in the vicinity of the volcano[11]), and was responsible for the formation of sulfuric acid in the atmosphere.

Yeah, I knew someone would say that....

No super volcano has erupted during MAN's recorded history.

You can't tell me what was involved or the precursors to a 2.8 million year old eruption.

Nice try though.
