Isostatic gravity map and principal facts for 694 gravity stations in Yellowstone National Park and vicinity, Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho Isostatic gravity map and principal facts for 694 gravity stations in Yellowstone National Park and vicinity, Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho
The report presents the principal facts for gravity stations compiled for Yellowstone National Park and vicinity. The gravity data were compiled from three sources: Defense Mapping Agency, University of Utah, and U.S. Geological Survey. Part A of the report is a paper copy describing how the compilation was done and presenting the data in tabular format as well as a map; part B is a 5-1...

The Geology and Remarkable Thermal Activity of Norris Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming The Geology and Remarkable Thermal Activity of Norris Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
Norris Geyser Basin, normally shortened to Norris Basin, is adjacent to the north rim of the Yellowstone caldera at the common intersection of the caldera rim and the Norris-Mammoth Corridor, a zone of faults, volcanic vents, and thermal activity that strikes north from the caldera rim to Mammoth Hot Springs. An east-west fault zone terminates the Gallatin Range at its southern end and...

YELLOWSTONE MAGMATIC-HYDROTHERMAL SYSTEM, U. S. A. YELLOWSTONE MAGMATIC-HYDROTHERMAL SYSTEM, U. S. A.
At Yellowstone National Park, the deep permeability and fluid circulation are probably controlled and maintained by repeated brittle fracture of rocks in response to local and regional stress. Focal depths of earthquakes beneath the Yellowstone caldera suggest that the transition from brittle fracture to quasi-plastic flow takes place at about 3 to 4 km. The maximum temperature likely to...

Catalog of earthquakes in the Yellowstone Park - Hebgen Lake region from November 1972 to December 1975 Catalog of earthquakes in the Yellowstone Park - Hebgen Lake region from November 1972 to December 1975
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) began operating a network of seismograph stations in Yellowstone Park in 1964. The stations were self-contained and their locations were limited by the necessity for year-round access, 110-volt power, and a light-tight recording area. The network had a maximum of 5 permanent stations and was supplemented for 60 days in 1965 with up to 5 portable, battery...

Chemical analyses of waters from geysers, hot springs, and pools in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, from 1974 to 1978 Chemical analyses of waters from geysers, hot springs, and pools in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, from 1974 to 1978
Waters from geysers, hot springs, and pools of Yellowstone National Park have been analyzed by numerous investigators extending back nearly ten decades. Large compilations of complete major ion analyses of the thermal waters have been reported by Gooch and Whitfield (1888) 38 analyses; Allen and Day (1935) 94 complete and 127 partial major ion analyses, Rowe and others (1973) 166...

Evaluation of infrared imagery applications to studies of surficial geology - Yellowstone Park Evaluation of infrared imagery applications to studies of surficial geology - Yellowstone Park
Infrared imagery, in the 3-5 micron band, was obtained during afternoon and post-sunset hours of August 1966 by the H.R.B. Singer Corporation on contract to the U. S. Geological Survey. Analysis of these data reveals that known thermal features such as hot and cold springs, glaciers and snow fields and lakes are readily identified on day and night images but that areas of known...
