Detailed Description

Time history of Yellowstone Caldera uplift (black line) and subsidence patterns along with quarterly catalog earthquake counts (blue bars). Note that large swarms in 1985 and 2010 accompany uplift to subsidence of caldera. The vertical deformation on the right axis was measured at the Sour Creek (SC) dome in the eastern part of the Yellowstone Caldera.

A fluid-driven earthquake swarm on the margin of the Yellowstone caldera

Over the past several decades, the Yellowstone caldera has experienced frequent earthquake swarms and repeated cycles of uplift and subsidence, reflecting dynamic volcanic and tectonic processes. Here, we examine the detailed spatial-temporal evolution of the 2010 Madison Plateau swarm, which occurred near the northwest boundary of the Yellowstone caldera. To fully explore the evolution of the swa
