Environment Yellowstone's supervolcano is creating a 19-mile bulge But scientists aren't that worried. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. In Yellowstone National Park, a bulge the size of 279 football fields has risen by an inch since last July. With no signs of slowing down, the bump that's roughly 19 miles across may cause some worry that the iconic locale's hibernating supervolcano is readying for an apocalyptic reawakening. Although impressed by the situation, the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory's scientist-in-charge doesn't sound particularly worried.

Be sure to hold on to your hats (and pizza) when near a boiling hot vent. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. No, it's your hat, ripped off your head by a gust of wind, spiraling off into the unknown. It's happened to the best of us. The only thing left to do is purchase another one before your face gets sunburnt .

Scientists have discovered an ominous sign which could hint that Yellowstone's supervolcano is building up to an eruption. Using machine learning, researchers found there have been over 86,000 hidden earthquakes between 2008 and 2022. That is 10 times more tremors than scientists had previously detected. Worryingly, more than half of those earthquakes came in swarms - small groups of interconnected tremors - which have been known to precede volcanic activity. The researchers say these'chaotic' swarms were found moving along rough, young fault lines running deep below the Yellowstone Caldera. These clusters of seismic activity are likely caused by hot, mineral-rich water forcing itself through cracks in the rock.

Wilson shared her experience as a "victim" of AI. The hearing began with an example of Johnny Cash's voice used to sing the lyrics of "Barbie Girl" to the tune of "Folsom Prison Blues." Many artists are now seeing their voices used to create music and other content without their consent, according to Wilson.

This post contains spoilers for Outer Range and Yellowstone. Some viewers of Outer Range's first season may have been focused on parsing the Amazon Prime series's Lost-style mysteries: What is up with the big, swirling time hole in Royal Abbott's pasture? Why did Rebecca Abbott, his daughter-in-law, vanish without a trace? What does Autumn, the charismatic hippie camping on Royal's land, want with the Abbott family? I had a different question about the sci-fi Western: What the heck is this show doing with Taylor Sheridan's megahit Yellowstone?

If you sent me a message on Twitter, email or pigeon post, please give me a few days to dig out of the pile that awaits me. You might recall that I mentioned I was off to do some backpacking and climbing in Grand Teton National Park and then eventually would make it to Yellowstone National Park. Yes, the crowds were real, especially for those who stuck to the traditional schedule of sightseeing between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. I took the early morning and late evening approach and never encountered the infamous parking lot traffic jams. It's that tactic that allowed me to take a ride in an empty T.E.D.D.Y., the autonomous vehicle that is being piloted in Yellowstone this summer.

Fox News Flash top headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com. Yellowstone National Park announced Wednesday that it is testing its first autonomous electric shuttle. T.E.D.D.Y., or The Electric Driverless Demonstration in Yellowstone, is a small vehicle with a big job. Annual visitation to the park has increased by almost 40% since 2008 – by 1 million people in the last decade, causing issues like parking lot overflow, traffic jams, unsanitary conditions, roadside soil erosion and vegetation trampling.

Much of the research literature on landscape change has focused on aerial imagery or satellite imagery from remote sensing sources. This is understandable if one were to look at wide areas. However, ground-level photographs also have great value to demonstrate landscape change from a human eye-level perspective. Combing such ground-level photographs with fieldwork and spatial analysis provides the possibility to assess human-environmental factors that have led to sometimes drastic change in the landscape. Yellowstone has become one of the most popular national parks in the United States.

A detailed map of the bubbling magma below the Yellowstone supervolcano could help experts reveal when the next deadly eruption may happen. The monstrous volcano - which last erupted around 640,000 years ago - has dual magma chambers. Now, a new computer model has revealed a'transition zone' that may control the movement of magma in these chambers. The new research doesn't currently reveal when the next eruption might happen, but it could help scientists put together predictions in the future. The mammoth volcano blows roughly every 600,000 to 700,000 years, meaning an eruption could be imminent.

Millions of visitors make the trek to Yellowstone National Park each year, drawn in by the breathtaking views on offer. But a group of scientists is keen to look beyond the regular sights by building a deep-diving robot that's designed to investigate the ecosystem of microbes thriving beneath the surface of Lake Yellowstone. Researching the waters within Yellowstone National Park has proved beneficial to science in the past. The study of Thermus aquaticus, a microbial species found in the Park backcountry, led to the development of a Nobel prize-winning DNA decoding method in the 1970s. Because these organisms live in warm temperatures, similar to those inside our body, scientists believe an understanding of their metabolic and physiological processes could help in the development of cancer-combatting drugs.
