24 kwi 2015 · A newly published study provides the first complete view of the Yellowstone magmatic system from the mantle plume to the upper crust, revealing a gigantic magma reservoir beneath the previously known magma chamber.
23 kwi 2015 · Using a joint local and teleseismic earthquake P-wave seismic inversion, we revealed a basaltic lower-crustal magma body that provides a magmatic link between the Yellowstone mantle plume and the previously imaged upper-crustal magma reservoir. This lower-crustal magma body has a volume of 46,000 cubic kilometers, ~4.5 times that of the upper ...
The Yellowstone magmatic system is one of the largest magmatic systems on Earth. Therefore, it is an ideal location to understand the underlying processes that drive the magmatic system on a scale from the mantle plume to the shallow upper crustal magma chamber in the upper crust.
1 gru 2022 · We present new tomographic images of the shear wave speed of the Yellowstone magmatic system based on full waveform inversion of ambient noise correlations, which illuminates shear wave speed reductions of greater than 30% associated with Yellowstone’s silicic magma reservoir.
31 lip 2023 · New views of how magma is stored beneath Yellowstone provided by hundreds of seismic sensors. Data from a major deployment of seismometers in 2020 is revealing new insights into the characteristics of the magma chamber beneath Yellowstone caldera, including how melt is distributed in the reservoir. Yellowstone Caldera Chronicles is a weekly ...
5 gru 2022 · The new images show a stronger seismic wave speed anomaly associated with Yellowstone’s silicic magma reservoir, with wave speed reductions of greater than 30% compared to the surrounding crust.
