Hi everyone I'm Mary with Mary Greeley News.  Thank you for joining me. Here's an image taken  

from still camera photos put together showing Old  Faithful yesterday. Yeah the steam coming up um  

was a little dirty really windy there and you  can see the snow that came in during the night  

how quickly it melted that was on the ground  yesterday now according to another document  

that i found Yellowstone has been resurging  growing magma coming into the system for about  

three thousand years yeah there's some  buffalo moving across the boardwalk and  

back up over there this here is an image from  about eight o'clock in the morning yesterday  

um i wish I had some good news for you yesterday  yeah look how quick that snow starts to melt  

yesterday there was a surge of magma coming  into the system at Yellowstone lake particularly  

little west thumb here we have a spectrogram  provided by uh unabco.org of Yellowstone lake  

this is the surge of magma that i was coming in  that I was talking about let me pull it down a  

little bit so you can see yeah the deeper the  color red being hotter and blue being colder  

this here is grant the spectrogram they're  providing from the strain meter for grant  

and I've talked about grant yeah look how yellow  that went um how grant is an area where they had  

an earthquake swarm that the magma was trying to  break through the ground at this area is located  

by little west thumb this is one of the most  recent eruptions there they had at the park  

oh somewhere between 162 to 150 000  years ago down over here we have grant  

talked about the fault line you can see the blue  line that's a fault line that runs through here  

and I've talked about the fault line there at  Yellowstone lake where dike intrusion of magmas  

trying to break of rhyolite over here was me  tracking an earthquake swarm that occurred  

that was December 7th of last year Yellowstone  lake on the left Little West Thumb in the middle  

and Madison river here on the right look at  the activity at little west thumb yesterday  

this is that time frame right here  there's a lot of them marked in red for  

Yellowstone lake now we got one here let me  try and find them um what another one there

I don't know if it's there or what but there is a  lot of them a little concerning in what was going  

on yesterday borehole 208 for Yellowstone lake  x is north y is east this here is for the last  

seven days going down to the disk all  right so keep this in mind the magma  

is rising if you look at the ground towards  the north the north is rising up but the magma  

under the ground is flowing east so Yellowstone  Lake is east of grant now here is a diagram  

of the grant well borehole 944 it is uh 500 feet  under the ground let me pull it down for you  

the strain meter is 394 feet and the  seismometer is about 375 feet under the ground  

the top has a cap of cement so it does not  pick up any outside noise no stampeding buffalo  

no snowmobiles cars going over speed bumps  it will not pick it up all the bore holes  

there at the park are basically made the  same with about the same depth so here is the  

data from grant top is north for the  last seven days see how it took a jump  

x is north y is east and look at this look at all  the dots for quite a while the trend of the uplift  

was on the western side you can see that but now  it's kind of spreading out last seven days last  

30 days each time the ground goes up and down  it's been taking a breath that's what I call it  

and we got dots away here south and there's one  way over there north this is for the last 30 days  

the tilt meter for the north geyser basin area  borehole 205. it suddenly went down in the north  

but east is rising look at that how it's  breathing and look at the direction that is  

changing now remember Yellowstone lake is south  east from this location and it's showing uplift  

in the southeast this here is from the last  seven days and then we'll go to the last 30 days

There we go this is the trend it was doing  before kind of a south west now all of a  

sudden it decided it's going to go south  east see that yeah like I said it's a little  

disturbing another borehole from the Norris  geyser basin area borehole 950 top is north  

bottom is east last seven days and the  trend is going south east last 30 days

See how it was originally going north and  I've talked about this and now all of a  

sudden it's changing so using google earth  we'll go to the Norris geyser basin area

there we go up over there

kind of north west of Yellowstone and this  is the uplift that's showing a southeast  

direction which is let me pull it over

Yellowstone lake we have  uplift at Yellowstone lake  

we have two calderas over here at Yellowstone  lake we're actually close to it we have the  

sour creek resurgent dome and we also  have the mallard lake resurgent dome  

where the old faithful web camera that's supposed  to be live and it's not working is located  

they know the last time that Yellowstone  erupted it did a counter clockwise unzipping  

of the caldera coming from north west working  its way down towards the south towards heart lake  

and then both calderas erupted which caused the  collapse and the major eruption the last time  

of Yellowstone here's the monitors  for Yellowstone lake at the top  

little west thumb and maple creek look how  thick the magma was coming in at maple creek  

now this is what I monitor what's going on at the  sawtooth mountain I'll go ahead about four hours

show you all the activity

I'll pull it over so you can see the time you  can see how Yellowstone lake and west thumb  

have been highly active how thick the magma  is that's coming in there at sawtooth and I'm  

going to show you another paper that i found  look at all the earthquakes about the sawtooth  

and the snake river plateau is in fact all related  and we'll go ahead another two hours or four hours

Look at all those earthquakes and  this is what it's currently showing  

seismicity and earthquake hazard analysis of the  Teton Yellowstone region Wyoming they received the  

article in 2008 and became published in 2009 the  earthquake hazard in the Teton Yellowstone region  

is the highest in the U.S. intermountain region it  is not only influenced by lithospheric extinction  

associated with basin range tectonism  tectonics that extend 700 kilometers  

west to the sierra Nevada mountains California but  has the superposition of the effect of Yellowstone  

volcanic sources that can perturb stress up to  50 kilometers from the Yellowstone hot spot track  

the effects of Yellowstone hot spot has a profound  effect on seismicity not only on Yellowstone  

but on the surrounding fault zones of the  intermountain region the combine fault  

zones are part of the parabolic shaped zone  of produced earthquake activity surrounding  

the Yellowstone snake river plain volcanic  field the sawtooth mountain range 50 kilometers  

from the hot spot track let me pull that back  over and show you hot spot track 50 kilometers  

there's the sawtooth mountain range and we'll  follow it down to the snake river plateau

What we have here we got the Craters of the Moon  

and other volcanic fields so for 50 kilometers  out through this track where all these past  

eruptions we are still having the effect of  Yellowstone upon these fault zones all this  

information the documentation will be down below  in the more information box below this video  

this paper also has talks about how the valley  floor of Jackson Hole is rising up because  

of the unprecedented uplift that's going on at  Yellowstone and the effect it has upon the Teton  

fault zone which is drawn out here earthquakes  of the Teton Yellowstone region represent a high  

level of seismicity of the intermountain west  that is associated with interplay extension  

of the Yellowstone hotspot and the  surrounding region including the Teton  

and Hebgen lake faults and i mentioned the  area and i got Jackson Hole highlighted the con  

temporary deformation of the teapot Teton area  and its relation to the overall strain field  

of the Yellowstone region was assessed by GPS  observations 2007. the GPS field surveys from 1986  

to 2000 indicated the unexpected results namely  that the valley of Jackson Hole is moving upward  

with respect to the Teton mountain block  and principal horizontal extension strain  

axis is generally particular to the fault  

this observation implies crustal shortening and  compression of the Jackson Hole valley crust  

against the fault but more importantly the  observed westward valley motion from the station  

closest to the Teton fault supports the idea  that the fault may be locked in compression  

which means pressure is building for a large  earthquake anyway there there was extensive  

magma coming in from the snake river plateau  that's what i got here on the right showing  

the thickening of the lines the magma coming in  and I'm going to make this other two monitors  

larger so you can see the earthquakes little west  thumb on the right Yellowstone lake on the left  

each line in red indicates an earthquake that  the earthquake monitors the computers picked up  

sends a signal for the geologist to come in  and review it trying to find where these are at

let me close this out you can  I hope see them all in red okay  

this is the one that was the most  significant there at west thumb  

we've got another one right there and we'll go to  the signature see that let me go back over here

Anyways that's all I have for you  right now sorry it's not good news  

uh please put your thoughts your comments your  questions I hope you are all prepared for any type  

of major disaster we got tornadoes we got floods  animals being found where they shouldn't be found  

um earthquakes and diverse locations put your  questions and comments down below please stay  

safe and I'll talk to you  later. God bless y'all bye
