TL;DR: Careful historical observation and monitoring of Kīlauea enabled successful forecasting of hazardous events, and cyclic inflation, deflation, and eventual collapse of the summit was tied to lava eruption from lower East Rift Zone fissures.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the Yellowstone hotspot resulted from a mantle plume interacting with the overriding North America plate, a process that has highly modified continental lithosphere by magmatic and tectonic processes and produced the 16-17-Ma, 700-km-long Yellowstone-Snake River Plain (YSRP) silicic volcanic system.

TL;DR: In this article, the 3D P-wave velocity and P- to S-wave ratio structure of the Yellowstone volcanic field, Wyoming, has been determined from local earthquake tomography using new data from the permanent Yellowstone seismic network.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined analytic models that best fit the focal mechanisms and the orientation of the plane defined by the swarm and found that the temporal shift of earthquake activity could be explained by the migration of hydrothermal fluids radially outward from the Yellowstone caldera following rupture of a sealed Hydrothermal system.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors modeled the source mechanisms of very-long-period (VLP) earthquakes in the 0.5-4 s and 8-40 s bands, respectively, using data recorded in July 2005 with a 19-station temporary broadband network.
