And because Steamboat Geyser likes to mess with us...it just erupted on December 30 at 7:02 PM MST, a few hours after this video was posted. The eruption was well detected by the new infrasound monitoring station in Norris Geyser Basin. This brings the total number of Steamboat Geyser eruptions for the year to 9.
Wow! Thank you for this detailed update. Team USGS! I love what you all do. Thanks again for this update and thank you for being involved with this YT community as well. It means a lot to us all.
You guys should show us a clip of steamboat geyser erupting every update you have
Are there live video feeds of areas being closely watched? If there are, where can I find them?
@@user-tx6bf1kc7w There is only one live feed in the park -- that's of the Old Faithful area, operated in collaboration between the National Park Service and Yellowstone Forever. That, and a whole bunch of static webcams of various areas, are accessible from www.nps.gov/yell/learn/photosmultimedia/webcams.htm.
@@usgs Thank you for the link
Thank you for finally allowing comments.
Thank you, Mike and all the USGS teams for all the information we get throughout the year. Looking forward to what's in store for 2024.
Really enjoy the Yellowstone update videos. I wouldn't call myself a geology nerd by any stretch, but I've found it interesting since I was a child. Thanks for all you do!
you are a geology nerd. nothing to be overtly ashamed of.
I like the yellowstone update too I live near yellowstone so I need to know this🎉
Cool. We can leave comments. I really enjoy the Yellowstone videos. Mike, you're an excellent presenter.
Thank you for allowing comments! And thanks for the great updates.
It's so cool that we can determine so much about this system and others these days! Really exciting!
Hello from Baltimore, MD. My kids and I look forward to these videos every month! Yellowstone is one of our favorite places on Earth, and we cannot wait to return. Thanks for being so informative and entertaining, Mike!
It is so special that you take your kids there. One of my most fond memories as a kid was in this park. You're a super-mom. Happy New Year to you and your family!
@@Kreedogger Aw, thanks! Happy New Year to you as well! Hope to see you at a National Park!
@@SandyQueue You're so kind. Thank you! I wish 2024 be bestowed upon you and your dearest through strength, protection and love.
Also, your presentation on your channel about Louis A. LeBrun, your ancestor, is quite stunning. The quote of yours "Thoughtful insights From the Super Hero's of American history" hit hard. I completely agree. Superhero's they were indeed. Louis as well.
@@Kreedogger - Thanks so very much! You are very kind! I have 7+ years of research, and many more paths to document. All the best to you!
Thanks for all the great videos in 2023!
Great job USGS! This is definitely a system we need to understand and monitor and I appreciate what you are doing. I particularly like the increased resolution of the subsystem.
Yellowstone is a great place and we enjoyed visiting in September.
If you enjoyed visiting then you’ll enjoy our Sounds of Yellowstone playlist! ua-cam.com/play/PLIxlFowAfHBAbeHF6Rc9e9TLaR44hCeWd.html&si=_YgcCDKwKm7lqTxi
This is a great update! Thanks much!
I can't wait until we can go back! Thanks for the update!
Comments are allowed?!?! Thank you for all the videos over the years! Love the monthly updates!!
This is awesome. Mike is such an incredible host and speaker it's so cool to be able to tell him so in the comment section.
Greetings from south Texas! I'm a retired exploration geophysicist and enjoy your updates on Yellowstone. Great work! Happy New Year!
Thanks for the update! We enjoy hearing the
Thanks and have a good new year!
What a great presentation, Mike! There was so much coherent and crucial information presented here in this video. It's a powerful thing for me because I grew up relatively near the YellowStone region and have fond memories of visiting the Park when I was a kid (As well as visiting Craters Of The Moon, which is obviously closely related to the YellowStone caldera) . It's just cool that this park is and always will be special because of it's importance in the geological history and future of this earth. Thank you again Mike and I thank you USGS!
Thank you for your interesting and informative updates throughout the year. I wish more people would come here to learn about Yellowstone instead of the sensationalist sites they seem to find. Facts are wonderful things!
I always look forward to these updates and salute the fantastic work of the USGS generally but here in particular.
Thank you. This channel makes the world a better place. I enjoy all the science that comes with it.
Happy New Year and thanks for the updates! 🥳
Great job!
Happy new year!
I really enjoy hearing about the seismic activity going on. Thank you.
Great information, thank you for publishing these great videos. I loved the "happy new year" wishes at the end!
First one of these I've seen, and as someone who has appeared on camera for a different government agency (an administration, to be pedantic), I have to say great job to everyone involved. Subscribed!
Working at Yellowstone as a Ranger would definitely have its perks!
This has ben very helpful for those interested in the Yellowstone region.
Thank you for education on Yellowstone geysers? I've wanted to spend a few weeks in Yellowstone Park for my Dad. He always wanted to live it.
Love your videos! It's great to have real data & info. I see posts occasionally on social media freaking out bc "Yellowstone is going to erupt & kill the planet...!!" 😂 It's nice to have solid facts for them. Great hat...😊 HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Can you include links to the new monitoring system?
The new YNB seismometer is available via the University of Utah Seismograph Stations (quake.utah.edu/). The specific link for the YNB webicorder is quake.utah.edu/station/heli/YNB.png. Weather data can been accessed from mesowest.utah.edu/cgi-bin/droman/meso_base_dyn.cgi?stn=UUYNB. The GNSS and infrasound data are still being calibrated/tested, and we hope to have those data accessible within a few weeks. The GNSS, infrasound, and seismic will also soon be available via the YVO monitoring map (www.usgs.gov/volcanoes/yellowstone).
*drools in science*
Thanks Mike! Great information as always. Happy New Year to you and the USGS.
Thank you, Mike. I was lucky enough to get to Norris about 10 minutes after Steamboat got going at the end of August. I got 8 videos of the eruption from vantage points in the Back Basin before it got too dark to see. I retired from the Idaho Cleanup Project in April, so I have lots of time to make trips up there from Idaho Falls. My videos are on my channel under Allen A if you care to look at them.
Bro I might be off my whacker right now, but this dude spittin' scientific facts is blowing my mind!
I agree! Mikes doing an incredible job. What a load of info is such a relatively short video. Great work.
I've never been to Yellowstone, I've heard that it's very beautiful but it's really crowded.
Sure wish you would visit. It's a magical place. It may be crowded with people sometimes but just focus on taking in the incredible scenery and geological history all for yourself and your loved ones that may be with you. Happy New Year to you!
Go in Winter on a snowmobile or snowcoach tour from West Yellowstone or Jackson. It is incredibly beautiful and very few people are there. If you really want to drive in, go in October or a week after they clear the snow in the Spring. Few tourists will be there.
Looking good, Mr. Poland! Happy New Year.
Thanks for the updates. Here's to a 2024 where Yellowstone continues it's 70k year tradition of not killing us all! Hehe.
Thanks for all the updates. I have been watching a long time. It would be nice to see some longer trends in uplift and downlift. Not just 2 years. How far back does the data go?
GPS data can go back to the late 1990s in Yellowstone, depending on the station (some are older than others). There are lots of places to see those data -- to start with, the map interface on the YVO website (www.usgs.gov/volcanoes/yellowstone). Click on one of the star symbols (which indicates a GPS station) to see the time series in east, north, and up directions. There are also neat map interfaces for GPS stations covering the entire USA (and more) at EarthScope (www.unavco.org/instrumentation/networks/status/all) and the University of Nevada, Reno (geodesy.unr.edu/NGLStationPages/gpsnetmap/GPSNetMap.html). One of our weekly "Caldera Chronicles" articles describes how to access and interpret GPS data (www.usgs.gov/observatories/yvo/news/a-diy-guide-yellowstone-gps-data).
Interesting facts 😊
I would love to visit one day! 😊
Happy New Year!
Great Info!
Thanks for all the videos!
Looking forward to the new data.
Happy New Year!
Thank you for the great information and presentation. Happy New Year to all!
Happy new year, Mike!
H🎉ppy New year and excellent vlogging there. Thanks for that 😊
Happy New Year and thank you for the reports. You and your team do a great job.
This is very interested
ALWAYS interesting to get your reports and news on new technology!!!
THANKS FOR GETTING THESE OUT FOR US !!!
I'd like to goto Yellowstone someday.
You've allowed me to soothe my fear of yellowstone, thank you.
When did Giant erupt? Is there any footage of it? I visited over the summer, and at that point it hadn't erupted.
Giant erupted on November 23, during the time when the park was closed (November 1 - December 15 is the time period when the park transitions to winter operations). It could be seen in the Old Faithful webcam, but we're not aware of any saved footage.
@@usgs Thanks! It looks like someone uploaded the webcam footage at least ( ua-cam.com/video/v_uLi40ZHcM/v-deo.html ) although it's far away
What 'general area' is this new monitor station installed at ? Thanks.
The new site is located in the Ragged Hills area of Norris Geyser Basin.

Obrigado Feliz 2024 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Thank you USBS
USGS, I have a question - "All volcanoes in the [Cascade Range | California] are at normal background activity levels." When was the last time a CVO or CALVO volcano was at something other than 'normal background activity levels'? When was the last time a volcano other than Mt St Helens was at something other than 'normal background activity level'? Thanks 😄
The last time a lower-48 volcano was not at background activity was 2004-2008, when Mount St. Helens had a lava dome eruption. Prior to that, it would have been the preceding lava dome eruption at that volcano, which occurred during 1980-1986. Mount St. Helens is by far the most active volcano in the range. It erupts about as often as all of the others combined.
If you take Mount St. Helens out of the mix, no volcano has been at anything other than "normal," but that's in part because the warning scheme was only introduced in the past few decades. The most recent noteworthy non-Mount St. Helens unrest was in 1975 at Mount Baker, when there were some thermal and gas emissions that suggested the possibility of a deep magmatic intrusion. It didn't get anywhere near the surface, but some of the heat and gas might have been emitted through Sherman Crater. More on that at www.usgs.gov/volcanoes/mount-baker/science/1975-increased-heat-and-signs-activity-mount-baker.
There is also some uplift occurring at South Sister, but it is occurring at very low rates, and the chemistry of nearby springs suggests that it might be a long-lived process that was detected only recently. So that system is still considered to be at normal levels of activity, although it is closely watched for any significant changes in patterns of deformation and seismicity.
@@usgs thanks for the great answer! 😀
Mike poland is the best
I appreciate the information and the update. Why are you speaking so fast? Can you slow down and allow what you are saying be comprehended as the valuable information that it is. Are you saying that if one area erupts there could be other areas erupting at the same time. Having 3 or 4 eruptions at one time in Yellowstone, without the whole cadera erupting?
The most common form of eruption in Yellowstone is a lava flow (that the volcanic system only ever explodes is an enduring misconception). There have been a few dozen lava flows since the last huge caldera-forming eruption, and the most recent lava flow was about 70,000 years ago. The latest dating studies indicate that these lava flows occurred in clusters, potentially with multiple lava flows happening simultaneously in different areas within the caldera, as opposed to happening in isolation, spread out over time. You can learn more about this in one of our recent weekly "Caldera Chronicles" articles, which goes into more depth about this study: www.usgs.gov/observatories/yvo/news/lotta-lava-new-insights-timing-yellowstones-most-recent-rhyolite-eruptions.
Why is everyone else telling a different story? Why is the park shut down for the next several years? After all these earthquakes for decades what do we think the outcome will be?
The park is not shut down -- not now nor for the next several years. The park does do seasonal closures, typically in parts of November-December and March-April as the operations change from winter (snowmobile) to summer (cars) and back again. The earthquakes are a consequence mostly of water interacting with existing faults -- you can learn more about that in one of our weekly "Caldera Chronicles" articles (www.usgs.gov/observatories/yvo/news/what-causes-earthquake-swarms-yellowstone).
Sadly, there is a lot of bad information about Yellowstone online. Despite claims made in a lot of places, there are no indications of impending eruptive activity. All monitoring data (seismicity, deformation, gas emissions, thermal emissions, etc.) remain at background levels.
Is this why everyone is digging bunkers and safe house under ground? And the government cant be honest to tell us why......
It’s going to explode I have a dreadful feeling . Let us pray to GOD to cleanse us from our sins and purify our hearts so that we may be saved by goodness and care for the children of this world
What is Mary Greeley's problem?
Wow comments are allowed, thank you oh powerful government agency on UA-cam which is a private website.
