Yellowstone Supervolcano Larger Than First Thought

drewtheman writes "New studies of the plumbing that feeds the Yellowstone supervolcano in Wyoming's Yellowstone National Park shows the plume and the magma chamber under the volcano are larger than first thought and contradicts claims that only shallow hot rock exists. University of Utah research professor of geophysics Robert Smith led four separate studies that verify a plume of hot and molten rock at least 410 miles deep that rises at an angle from the northwest."

Getthe GW crowd to help builkd a model. They'll be able to prove that the bulge was caused by SUV's, with an explination that sounds like it came from Star Trek. "It's caused by an isoplaner resonance caused by the molecular disturbance of the tachyon field."

Just don't ask them for their data or their code. It works like quantum physics: You can either have the results, or you can have the code, but not both.
