	Yellowstone's Year Of Fire--1988 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Yellowstone's fire management policy was the topic of heated debate, from the restaurants of park border towns to the halls of Congress.
		This accumulation of fuel on the forest floor and the continuity of fuels between the ground, understory and overstory are factors that predispose older stands to ignition by a lightning strike.
		Therefore the "fire regime" of Yellowstone is as varied and complicated as the environments within the park.

	Bob Smith: Research (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Yellowstone's climactic eruptions expelled ash flows with volumes of: 1) 2,500 km³ with 2.0 Ma Huckleberry Ridge tuff, 2) 280 km³ in the 1.2 Ma Mesa Falls tuff, and 3) 1,000 km³ with the 0.6 Ma Lava Creek tuff (Christiansen, 1984).
		The historical seismicity of Yellowstone is marked by the large 1959, Hebgen Lake, Montana, Ms = 7.5 event located on the northwest margin of the caldera, its extensive aftershock sequence, and by extensive earthquake swarms within the Yellowstone caldera.
		Lateral variations in focal depths of earthquakes of the Yellowstone caldera are thought to reflect variations in the depth to the brittle-ductile transition.

	LiveScience.com - Yellowstone Volcano Grows as Geysers Reawaken
		Forces brewing deep beneath Yellowstone National Park could be making one of the largest volcanoes on Earth even bigger, a new study reveals.
		While the rise may not be noticeable to the casual hiker, the activity may have cracked the crust in the park's famous Norris Geyser Basin (NGB), leading to the formation of new fumaroles—holes that vent smoke and gas—and the reawakening of some of the area's geysers, including Steamboat, the largest geyser in the world.
		Radar observations from the European Space Agency's ERS-2 satellite reveal that the jellybean-shaped Yellowstone caldera—a giant depression caused by past volcanic explosions—began to rise in 1995.

	1988 Yellowstone Fires (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Landscapes such as those seen in Yellowstone have long been shaped by fire and not just the cool, creeping ground fires often described as "good" for grass production.
		Throughout August and early September, some park roads and facilities were closed to the public, and residents of nearby towns outside the park feared for their property and their lives.
		Through continued public education, scientific research, and professional fire management, Yellowstone hopes to preserve the process of natural fire in the park while minimizing adverse effects on park visitors and neighbors, recognizing the inevitability of this force to continue shaping the landscape as it has for centuries.
