Monitoring Earthquakes in Yellowstone National Park
The Yellowstone Seismic Network (YSN) is operated
cooperatively by
University of Utah, the US Geological Survey's Volcano Hazards Program,
and the National Park Service. The network covers the
seismically and volcanically active Yellowstone National Park
and
surrounding area. It is designed for the purpose of monitoring volcano
and geyser-related earthquake activity and for studying the subsurface
processes of Yellowstone.
