Magmatic and Hydrothermal Activity of the Yellowstone Plateau, or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Volcano

Session ID#: 76189

Session Description:
Yellowstone is home to the densest concentration of hydrothermal features in the world and is a site of diverse volcanism, from small steam explosions to VEI8 eruptions and spanning compositions ranging from basalt to rhyolite.  Recent research has highlighted the complexity of Yellowstone’s hydrothermal systems as well as the characteristics of past eruptions, resulting in new paradigms for how Yellowstone works.  We seek to capitalize on this new knowledge by encouraging presentations that shed new light on magmatic and hydrothermal activity within Yellowstone.  We are particularly interested in highlighting the diversity of research that has been done in the past decade, including petrology, field volcanology, geophysics, and geochemistry, and especially in studies that incorporate multidisciplinary approaches.
