flag Yellowstone’s volcanic system is more complex with multiple chambers and past eruptions, shifting risk eastward toward Cody, Wyoming.

flag New research from Montana State University reveals Yellowstone’s volcanic system is more complex than previously thought, with multiple magma chambers and previously unknown eruptions. flag Fieldwork over six years uncovered explosive activity in the Mount Jackson Rhyolite Series and showed the Lava Creek eruption 631,000 years ago occurred in multiple phases. flag The findings suggest future eruptions are more likely to be localized and less catastrophic than feared, with activity shifting eastward due to plate movement, increasing potential risk to areas like Cody, Wyoming. flag Scientists say the updated understanding improves long-term hazard assessment.
