This map shows the Grand Loop Road along with different versions of the Howard Eaton Trail. Over the years, sections of the trail were rerouted to improve visitor safety, reduce maintenance costs, and protect sensitive natural areas. Using National Park Service and USGS sources from 1923, 1937, 1956, 1958, and 1959, students E.

Time series of vertical displacements during April–October 2017 at four GPS stations on the north side of Yellowstone Lake

Time series of vertical displacements during April–October 2017 at four GPS stations (LAK1, LAK2, LKWY, and SEDG) on the north side of Yellowstone Lake. Downward trends indicate subsidence and upward trends show uplift. Uplift “spikes” in late September are related to inclement weather and do not show true deformation. Error bars are one standard deviation.
