Towering geysers. Colorful hot springs. Gurgling mudpots. Steamy fumaroles. The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is one of the greatest destinations on earth for observing hydrothermal features. So, what makes it such a geological hotspot?
In Episode 05, we'll chat with geologist and volcanologist Dr. Lisa Morgan, a scientist emeritus with the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Lisa has studied the geological activity in Yellowstone National Park for decades and notably completed the most detailed mapping of the bottom of Yellowstone Lake. We ask her what makes the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem so geologically unique, how hydrothermal features are formed, and just how worried should we be about that "supervolcano" erupting.
So tune in and learn why Yellowstone "rocks!"
Voices of Greater Yellowstone was created by the Greater Yellowstone Coalition, a conservation nonprofit dedicated to working with people to protect the lands, waters, and wildlife of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, now and for future generations.
The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is the land of 49+ Indigenous Tribes who maintain current and ancestral connections to the lands, waters, wildlife, plants, and more.
