Geophysical Imaging of the Shallow Geyser and Hydrothermal Reservoir Structures of Spouter Geyser, Yellowstone National Park: Geyser Dynamics I

Abstract

Located in northwest Wyoming and extending into Montana and Idaho, Yellowstone National Park (YNP) is home to roughly five-hundred geysers, making it the most concentrated geyser field in the world (Bryan, 2018). Geysers are uncommon features, with less than 1,000 worldwide. Although geysers are rare and unique features, the knowledge of subsurface geyser structure and geyser eruption dynamics can be applied to other processes in YNP, including hydrothermal explosions (a significant geologic hazard within YNP) (R. L. Christiansen et al., 2007;Morton, 2021) and volcanic eruption dynamics (Hurwitz et al., 2021).
