SALT LAKE CITY Steamboat Geyser might take a backseat to Old Faithful in terms of notoriety at Yellowstone National Park, but its eruptions are famously mysterious within the science community. Steamboat Geyser, which is also the world s largest, has an odd pattern of eruptions. For instance, when it erupted in 2018, it was the first documented eruption in almost four years. That s not uncommon because geysers are difficult to pinpoint, Michael Poland, the U.S. Geological Survey s scientist-in-charge of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory, said at the time. Steamboat Geyser just happens to have a different aura that intrigued the science community. ....
| Updated: 1:48 p.m. The world’s tallest active geyser is also one of its most mysterious, going dormant for years between periods of unpredictable, frequent eruptions. Yellowstone National Park’s Steamboat Geyser sprang back to life in a big way three years ago, spewing boiling water up to 360 feet into the air with greater frequency than ever with no signs abating. University of Utah geologists have been using this resurgent activity to gain a better understanding of Yellowstone’s hydrothermal features, particularly the enigmatic Steamboat, along with the nearby Cistern Spring, which cools and recedes every time Steamboat blows. Seismologist Jamie Farrell was retrieving portable instruments his team had placed around the geyser in June 2018, when it gurgled into action then exploded. ....
Date Time U scientists plumb depths of world’s tallest geyser When Steamboat Geyser, the world’s tallest, started erupting again in 2018 in Yellowstone National Park after decades of relative silence, it raised a few tantalizing scientific questions. Why is it so tall? Why is it erupting again now? And what can we learn about it before it goes quiet again? The University of Utah has been studying the geology and seismology of Yellowstone and its unique features for decades, so U scientists were ready to jump at the opportunity to get an unprecedented look at the workings of Steamboat Geyser. Their findings provide a picture of the depth of the geyser as well as a redefinition of a long-assumed relationship between the geyser and a nearby spring. The findings are published in the Journal of Geophysical Research. ....
