Abstract:
Old Faithful Geyser in Yellowstone National Park is the most well-known hydrothermal feature in the world. Despite abundant geophysical and geochemical studies, the detailed geometry of the plumbing system controlling the hydrothermal fluid flow of its regular eruption cycle remains elusive. In this presentation, I introduce how do we apply state-of-the-art seismic methods to illuminate Old Faithful's plumbing geometry, and reveal the water recharge evolution throughout its periodic eruption cycles.
