The Smokehouse Creek Fire started about 1 mile north of Stinnett, Texas on February 26th, 2024. Three days later, the fire had consumed over 1 million acres. With a total area of 1,654 square miles, it became the largest fire on record in Texas. That's larger than New York's Long Island. A series of false color images reveal the land cover before, during, and after the fire. February 24th, 2 da...

    I'll admit I haven't been to Yellowstone since I was a kid, but one of my most vivid memories is of the color of Morning Glory pool. How sad some people can't be responsible w/ their actions. I see so much fluff on social media about "OMG! We'll all be killed when Yellowstone erupts!!!" I would find it very interesting if you would do a talk sometime on what signs to look for if the cauldera ever gets close to eruption. (Well, on second thought, it might just serve to stoke the fires of panic in a few directions...🙄)

      Great suggestion! We created and uploaded an animated GIF showing patterns of seismicity by year during 2017-2023. You can find that at www.usgs.gov/media/images/animation-annual-yellowstone-seismicity-2017-2023. The number of quakes fluctuates, mostly due to the occurrence of large swarms (which show up really well on the maps as tight clusters of numerous small earthquakes). Swarms are mostly caused by groundwater interacting with preexisting faults (which are plentiful throughout the region). The numbers of earthquakes each year are 2017 - 3,427 2018 - 2,007 2019 - 1,218 2020 - 1,722 2021 - 2,773 2022 - 2,429 2023 - 1,623 We'll see about doing a "caldera chronicles" article on this topic (that's our weekly article about some aspect of Yellowstone geology/activity, accessible at www.usgs.gov/volcanoes/yellowstone/caldera-chronicles and USGSVolcanoes social media channels).
