Article
Full-text available
Doublet Pool is an active hydrothermal feature in Yellowstone National Park, USA. Approximately every half hour, it thumps for about 10 min due to bubbles collapsing at the base of the pool. To understand its thermodynamics and sensitivity to external factors, we performed a recurring multiple‐year passive seismic experiment. By linking recorded hy...

Steamboat Geyser in Yellowstone National Park is the tallest active geyser on Earth and is believed to have hydrologic connection to Cistern Spring, a hydrothermal pool ∼100 m southwest from the geyser vent. Despite broad scientific interest, rare episodic Steamboat eruptions have made it difficult to study its eruption dynamics and underground plu...

Significance Natural geysers episodically erupt liquid water and steam and, thus, provide a window into multiphase hydrothermal systems. The size of and interval between eruptions can shift over time due to changes in the hydrothermal system and due to deeper magmatic processes. An improved understanding of geyser dynamics can provide insights into...
Article
Since the 1970s, temporal variations of hydrothermal discharge and thermal output from the numerous hydrothermal features in the Yellowstone Plateau Volcanic Field (YPVF) have been studied by measuring the chloride flux in the major rivers. In this study, the sources, fate, and flux of solutes in the Fall River and its major tributaries, in southwe...

Plain Language Summary The Yellowstone Plateau Volcanic Field has had three cataclysmic volcanic eruptions over the past ~2.1 million years. The youngest of these eruptions at 0.631 Ma resulted in the formation of the Yellowstone Caldera and was followed by several smaller eruptive episodes of large volume rhyolite flows up to ~70,000 years ago. Th...
Experiment Findings
Water analyses are reported for 66 samples collected from numerous thermal and non-thermal (rivers and streams) features in the southwestern areas of Yellowstone National Park (YNP) during 2009, 2017, and 2018. Water samples were collected from sources near Boundary Creek, Bechler River, Falls River, Mountain Ash Creek, Upper Snake River, Spirea Cr...
Technical Report
Full-text available
The Yellowstone Controlled Groundwater Area (YCGA) was established on January 31, 1994 under Article IV of the Water Rights Compact (Compact) between U.S. National Park Service (NPS) and the State of Montana (Montana Water Law: MCA 85-20-401).The Compact states that an initial review shall take place within one year of the inventory report done by...
Article
A field demonstration was performed at Edwards Air Force Base to assess bioaugmentation for treatment of a well-characterized tetrachloroethene (PCE) dense nonaqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) source area in fractured rock. Groundwater recirculation was employed to deliver remedial amendments, including bacteria, to facilitate reductive dechlorination a...
Article
Partitioning tracer testing was performed in discrete intervals within a fractured bedrock tetrachloroethene (PCE) dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) source area to assess the fracture flow field and DNAPL architecture. Results confirmed that the partitioning tracer testing was able to identify and quantify low levels of residual DNAPL along fl...
