Yellowstone Caldera Chronicles is a weekly column written by scientists and collaborators of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory. This week s contribution is from R. Greg Vaughan, research scientist with the U.S. Geological Survey.
We do not define the habitat of wolves just by observing where a wolf pack may be standing at any given moment; they move around. Similarly, you can think of a thermal area as the âhabitatâ of individual thermal features, like geysers and hot springs. Hot fluids also move around (underground), so just because a patch of ground in Yellowstone is either warm or cool doesnât mean it will stay that way.
