Maybe they need to check further east for the next rising plume?

That would probably cool it off even further. I mean, what’s she got (besides money) that I haven’t got?

Thanks for the ping. This supervolcano fascinates me. There is no theory about it that is anything more than a WAG*, because we simply don’t know enough. I’m interested that some areas of the park, the ground is warming above what was expected, which wouldn’t happen (I’m guessing) if the underground was “tepid” in volcano terms.
*WAG: wild-a$$ed guess.

I mean, whats she got (besides money) that I havent got?Answer A: Internet videos.

i was in Yellowstone just a couple of weeks ago. It was so odd to realize that one is actually standing inside of a volcano.

To: Judith Anne
.....There is absolutely no way to know that....
By tracking the speed of seismic waves through the hotter and perhaps semi liquid plume, they may be able to estimate the temperature, but without long historical data, the trend is not known. One point is not a meaningful curve
To suggest coolling in the face of increased surface temps and bulging seems unrealistic

I was hoping that was just an oversight on your part.
