We already knew it was a supervolcano. But now Yellowstone National Park’s volcano is wowing scientists by containing way more magma than previously thought.[...]

What sounds scarier, a swarm of earthquakes or a supervolcano? Yellowstone National Park, one of the most seismically active places in the U.S., has both. And in September, the park experienced 510 little quakes in the Grizzly...

While tourists flock from all corners of the globe to witness the Yellowstone National Park geysers such as famous Old Faithful, it is a small and relatively-unknown geyser catching international attention this time around...

Life on planet Earth is struggling through an historically challenging era, thanks in no small part to the actions of our species. Some scientists have proposed labeling this period as the Anthropocene epoch due to the outsize...

Something strange is happening at the tallest geyser in the world in Yellowstone park  - and scientists can't explain it. Steamboat Geyser can shoot up to 300 feet in the air when it erupts, which isn't often, but over...

We all know about the supervolcano boiling underneath Yellowstone - but, until now, we didn't know what was fueling the cauldron. This week, scientists revealed that they were able to model the behavior of two magma chambers...

A new study reveals evidence of a massive plume of magma beneath Yellowstone National Park - and it could run all the way to Mexico. Scientists have debated the presence of a plume for years, and if one does exist, it would...

In a newly published study, scientists reveal evidence that groups of humans survived a massive volcanic eruption at the Toba caldera, a supervolcano in Sumatra. “It is possible that people moved out of terrestrial locations...

Since the start of February, Yellowstone National Park and its supervolcano have been hit with a wave of at least 20 earthquakes and a number of smaller tremors...

Scientists at the University of Illinois have constructed a new theory on how the hotspot beneath Yellowstone National Park's supervolcano gets its heat. "A robust result from these models is that the heat source behind...

Researchers now believe the sprawling Yellowstone caldera was created by two massive eruptions from the supervolcano that occurred approximately 630,000 years ago...

Researchers now believe the sprawling Yellowstone caldera came into being as a result of two massive eruptions from the supervolcano that occurred approximately 630,000 years ago...

A new study from NASA's Jet Propulsion unit has determined that the threat of a supervolcanic eruption to life on Earth may be more pressing than any interstellar collisions...
