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.

Cross section through the trunk of a lodgepole pine tree from Cooking Hillside near Mud Volcano, Yellowstone National Park. The earliest date for this tree is 1916 and it died in 1990. Spongy white-gray areas are foam insulation that was injected into the sample to reinforce the structure of the wood.
