Monitoring super-volcanoes: Geophysical and geochemical signals at Yellowstone and other large caldera systems Monitoring super-volcanoes: Geophysical and geochemical signals at Yellowstone and other large caldera systems
Earth's largest calderas form as the ground collapses during immense volcanic eruptions, when hundreds to thousands of cubic kilometres of magma are explosively withdrawn from the Earth's crust over a period of days to weeks. Continuing long after such great eruptions, the resulting calderas often exhibit pronounced unrest, with frequent earthquakes, alternating uplift and subsidence of...

Interdisciplinary discussion of volcanic processes beneath the Long Valley Caldera-Mono Craters Area Interdisciplinary discussion of volcanic processes beneath the Long Valley Caldera-Mono Craters Area
Volcanism in the Long Valley Caldera-Mono Craters (LVCMC) volcanic field in eastern California over the past 4 Ma is dominated by the 0.76 Ma caldera-forming eruption of 600 km3 of rhyolite to form the Bishop Tuff. Over the last 150 k.y., volcanism has concentrated along the Mono-Inyo chain, which extends 45 km north from Mammoth Mountain to Mono Lake (Figure 1, below). Recent eruptions...

EarthScoping the inner workings of magmatic systems EarthScoping the inner workings of magmatic systems
In the shadow of one of the world's great volcanic systems, an intensive 3-day workshop was undertaken to work toward developing a scientific plan for the magmatic systems component of the U.S. National Science Foundation's (NSF) EarthScope Initiative. This NSF-sponsored workshop was designed to provide direction to the EarthScope planning committee and the NSF in developing scientific...

High precision earthquake locations reveal seismogenic structure beneath Mammoth Mountain, California High precision earthquake locations reveal seismogenic structure beneath Mammoth Mountain, California
In 1989, an unusual earthquake swarm occurred beneath Mammoth Mountain that was probably associated with magmatic intrusion. To improve our understanding of this swarm, we relocated Mammoth Mountain earthquakes using a double difference algorithm. Relocated hypocenters reveal that most earthquakes occurred on two structures, a near-vertical plane at 7–9 km depth that has been interpreted...

Human-induced contaminant impacts on migratory birds: Lessons from the North American eared grebe (Podiceps nigricollis) Human-induced contaminant impacts on migratory birds: Lessons from the North American eared grebe (Podiceps nigricollis)
The effects of aquatic contaminants generated by soda ash mining processes on the North American eared grebe (Podiceps nigricollis) population illustrates important issues associated with human-induced habitat degradation on the health of migratory species. Eared grebes have been extensively studied in their staging and breeding habitats, but little is known about their 2- to 3-day...
