Geotimes June 2005 Jake Lowenstern	Truth, Fiction and Everything in Between at Yellowstone The Yellowstone caldera is a volcano, and it almost certainly will erupt again someday. It's possible, though unlikely, that future eruptions could reach the magnitude of Yellowstone's three largest explosive eruptions, 2.1 million, 1.3 million and 640,000 years ago.
Geotimes May 2006 Megan Sever	Yellowstone's Moving Magma New research is suggesting that magma located below the Norris Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park periodically rises close to the surface, heating the geothermal field, before diving back down.

Ever-improving analytical techniques are allowing precise measurement of elemental abundances and isotopic ratios on ever-smaller phases in rocks.
