Abstract:
Old Faithful geyser has been the iconic hydrothermal feature in Yellowstone over a century since the National Park was founded in 1872. The spectacular eruption with water ejected over 30 m from the surface and the intrigued periodic eruptions attract millions of tourists per year to Yellowstone.
In this presentation, I will introduce the applications of seismology in order to understand the nature of Old Faithful geyser system. The focus of the presentation will be 1) how we can utilize the seismic signals to study the geyser system, 2) what has been done before, and 3) what can we do to reach further understanding of Old Faithful geyser in the future.
