Yellowstone's magma system shows new activity, with the northeast sector possibly hosting future volcanic activity.

Whereas basalt magma is more liquid, rhyolite is more viscous. It doesn’t flow readily, and when it erupts, it can cause explosive eruptions. This is the type of magma that’s troubling ...

Figure 3: Eruption record between two caldera-forming eruptions in the Jemez Mountains Volcanic Field. Uncertainties plotted are 2σ. Red= fayalite-bearing rhyolite, blue= biotite-bearing rhyolite, ...

Comparing pollen records from three lakes in different geological substrates highlights the influence of geology and climate on long-term vegetation development.

Yellowstone Caldera Chronicles is a weekly column written by scientists and collaborators of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory. This week's contribution is from Ninfa Bennington, geophysicist ...

ioneer’s Rhyolite Ridge project has secured key permits and financing, with first production now projected for 2028. Lithium prices have stabilized, supported by production cuts and strong EV ...

Lava domes are rounded, steep-sided mounds built by magma that is highly resistant to flow, usually either dacite or rhyolite ... seen between the May and July eruptions in 1980.

“The United States requires Rhyolite Ridge and more projects like it if we want secure domestic critical mineral production. It’s as simple as that.” The loan is $968 million principal and $ ...

This funding will support the development of an on-site processing facility at the Rhyolite Ridge Lithium-Boron project in Esmeralda County, Nevada, significantly boosting domestic lithium production.

An eruption lasts 1 1/2 to 5 minutes ... The lobby of the hotel features a 65-foot ceiling, a massive rhyolite fireplace, and railings made of contorted lodgepole pine. Wings were added to ...
