  • Yellowstone Volcano Remains Stable, Utah Faults Revealed, and Induced Seismicity Trends Highlighted in Geologic Roundup

    Yellowstone Volcano Remains Stable, Utah Faults Revealed, and Induced Seismicity Trends Highlighted in Geologic Roundup
    2026/01/07
    In early January 2026, the United States Geological Survey released its Yellowstone Volcano Observatory monthly update, highlighting ongoing geological activity in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Yellowstone Caldera remains at normal alert levels, with 79 located earthquakes in December 2025, the largest measuring magnitude 2.7. Subtle uplift of two to three centimeters along the north caldera rim, south of Norris Geyser Basin, began in July 2025 and continues, resembling patterns from 1996 to 2004, according to continuous GPS and satellite radar measurements by the USGS. Within the caldera, long-term subsidence since 2015 paused, with up to two centimeters of uplift since May 2025, possibly signaling a shift from subsidence or an extended seasonal effect.

    Hydrothermal features dominated 2025's top stories, per the USGS Yellowstone monthly update for January 2026. Black Diamond Pool in Biscuit Basin saw at least three small eruptions on December 8, 18, and 20, 2025, captured by new camera and infrasound monitoring following a 2024 explosion. Steamboat Geyser in Norris Geyser Basin, the world's tallest active geyser, erupted for the third time in 2025 on December 31 just after 10 p.m. Mountain Standard Time, marking a decline from prior active phases.

    Elsewhere in the US, the Utah Geological Survey announced on January 5, 2026, new high-resolution maps revealing active faults in central Utah's rural areas. These faults, which have ruptured the surface within the past 2.6 million years, highlight growing earthquake risks amid rapid development beyond the Wasatch Front.

    A USGS report notes human-induced earthquakes from oil and gas operations have reshaped seismic patterns nationwide, increasing tremors in regions like Oklahoma and Texas. High Country News's January 2026 issue explores deep geologic time in the West, linking ancient events like the Arizona Meteor Crater asteroid impact to Grand Canyon formation and plate tectonics insights from scientist Tanya Atwater on the San Andreas Fault in California.

    These developments underscore Yellowstone's dynamic hydrothermal and seismic baseline, emerging fault clarity in Utah, and induced seismicity trends, with no signs of escalation beyond normal variability. Globally, a massive hydrothermal field off Greece stunned scientists in late December 2025, but US patterns emphasize steady monitoring amid human influences.

  • Yellowstone Dominates USGS Top Geological Stories of 2025: Seismic Activity, Geyser Eruptions, and Hydrothermal Wonders Revealed

    Yellowstone Dominates USGS Top Geological Stories of 2025: Seismic Activity, Geyser Eruptions, and Hydrothermal Wonders Revealed
    2026/01/03
    The United States Geological Survey released its top five geological stories from 2025 this week, providing a comprehensive overview of dynamic activity across American volcanic regions. Yellowstone National Park dominated the report with several significant developments. The park experienced 1,136 earthquakes throughout 2025, keeping seismic activity at background levels. Most notably, ground deformation began occurring in July in an area south of Norris Geyser Basin along the north caldera rim, where satellite radar and GPS data detected uplift of two to three centimeters. Scientists note this deformation pattern persisted through the end of the year and may represent a transition to a new form of deformation in the region, similar to patterns observed from 1996 to 2004.

    Steamboat Geyser, the world's tallest geyser located in Norris Geyser Basin, erupted only three times during 2025, with the final eruption occurring on December 31st just after ten PM Mountain Standard Time. This continues a declining trend from its peak activity between 2018 and 2020, when it erupted 48 times per year. Scientists expect this phase of activity to continue declining throughout 2026 as the geyser gradually returns to dormancy.

    The report also highlighted significant hydrothermal activity across Yellowstone, with several new thermal features emerging throughout the year. In Biscuit Basin, where a hydrothermal explosion occurred in July 2024, new monitoring equipment captured multiple eruptions at Black Diamond Pool. At least three small eruptions were recorded in December alone on the eighth, eighteenth, and twentieth, detected through both camera monitoring and acoustic sensing technology. The USGS emphasized that Black Diamond Pool remains highly active despite its explosive history.

    A notable rumor dispelled by the USGS concerned claims that animals were fleeing Yellowstone National Park. Scientists found no credible evidence supporting such migration patterns. The report stressed that Yellowstone remains a geologically dynamic region where features regularly turn on and off, creating natural variations that sometimes fuel unfounded speculation.

    In Hawaii, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory reported that 2025 was a historic year for volcanic activity on the Island of Hawaii. Thirty-eight episodes of lava fountaining occurred at Kīlauea's summit, underscoring the active volcanic landscape residents and visitors navigate throughout the islands. These developments highlight how American volcanic regions continue providing scientists with opportunities to monitor and understand critical geological processes shaping our landscape.

  • Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Climate Change: Geologists Tackle Earth's Transformations

    Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Climate Change: Geologists Tackle Earth's Transformations
    2025/12/24
    Geologists in the United States have focused closely this week on rapid landscape change driven by both earthquakes and volcanoes, as well as new insights into long term climate and resource risks. In Alaska, the United States Geological Survey reports that a magnitude seven point zero earthquake beneath Hubbard Glacier on December sixth triggered hundreds of landslides and snow avalanches across the Saint Elias Mountains, spanning southeast Alaska and into Canada. Preliminary remote sensing and a Yukon Geological Survey reconnaissance flight show slopes stripped of snow and rock, highlighting how seismic shaking in glaciated terrain can rapidly remodel valley walls and potentially dam streams or alter sediment delivery downstream.

    Farther south in Hawaii, the United States Geological Survey Hawaiian Volcano Observatory continues to track the ongoing summit eruption of Kilauea. A new map released December twenty second shows that lava within Halemaumau crater now averages about sixty eight meters thick, with maximum thickness exceeding one hundred sixty meters, filling nearly four hundred hectares of the summit basin. A monitoring overflight on December second captured spattering lava deep in the north vent and bright yellow native sulfur deposits produced by degassing sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. These measurements document how quickly magma is rebuilding the summit floor that collapsed in twenty eighteen, offering a real time laboratory for understanding caldera infilling and gas driven mineral formation.

    On the continental United States mainland, concern is rising over the stability of land and water resources. A recent Geological Society of America news release highlights that parts of the Willcox Basin in southern Arizona are sinking rapidly due to groundwater withdrawal, with subsidence threatening infrastructure and altering drainage. At the same time, another GSA release warns that drainage from abandoned coal mines could represent a significant and under counted source of carbon emissions, linking classic economic geology with climate change science.

    Looking at Earths future, ScienceDaily reports new research identifying a missing feedback in the global carbon cycle that could cause warming driven by fossil fuel emissions to overshoot and, paradoxically, help push the planet toward a future ice age on geologic time scales. In Washington, the Interior Department and the United States Geological Survey have issued an expanded twenty twenty five critical minerals list, now including sixty minerals such as copper, uranium, metallurgical coal, and phosphate, underscoring how geologic supply, national security, and clean energy transitions are tightly intertwined. Worldwide, major conferences from the American Geophysical Union meeting in New Orleans to international geology and geophysics gatherings in Europe, Asia, and Africa are weaving these themes together, emphasizing that from sudden earthquakes to slow subsidence, geology remains central to understanding and managing a changing planet.
