Model of reservoirs underneath Long Valley Caldera
Main hydrothermal features of the new (2016) 3-D model of the subsurface at Long Valley Caldera. This schematic is based on a survey of the electrical properties of the earth (magnetotellurics) below. Arrows show subsurface water flow, with colors keyed to changing water temperature, from blue (cold) to red (hot). Purple arrows show an extinct hot water pathway.

Map of volcanic ash fall as a result of eruptions from Yellowstone,...
Map of volcanic ashfall. Areas of the United States that once were covered by volcanic ash from Yellowstone's giant eruptions 2 million and 630,000 years ago, compared with ashfall from the 760,000-year-old Long Valley caldera eruptions at Mammoth Lakes, California, and the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, Washington.

View of the Mono Lake-Long Valley volcanic region
An aerial view looking south of the Long Valley volcanic region in the area of Mono Lake, showing a line of rhyolite lava domes and explosion craters. An inset map shows the locations of silcic magmatic centers in the Long Valley area.
