100% Something's Going Down At Pelican Cone (Yellowstone)..Update 15 (05/09/12) BEFORE 3.7 MAG, RADAR SHOWING PLUMES

[link to www.isthisthingon.org]

DOOM

damn , that's alot of swarms

is this normal? or something seen every once and a while without catastrophe.

I have been watching pelican cove for a few weeks now and its been doing this every day, then they shut it off, then turn it on and still doing it, I am starting to believe that all who are saying its tree roots or a malfunction are full of sh**, I think this magma movement underground, they won't tell us though

Exactly, they wouldn't say anything in case they cause mass panic..............

On the subject of malfunction...
The charts for Pelican Cone have been like this since around late December with no word from USGS. The thing is, Scientists must have a keen interest in this location due to the fact that they have just turned back on the sensor after 8 Years.......

Surely they would like to keep all sensors in Yellowstone in tip top condition with this being the biggest Caldera in the world, especially the damage it could cause too...The graphs has been like that for over 3 weeks, plenty of time to get them fixed IF they were malfunctioning...But there not, How can 2 sensors pick up the same activity, with a third sensor (30 Miles Away) picking it up back around the end of December...

With regards to the sensors being on then off then back on again.....It's like they are doing that maybe because they think there might be a malfunction and them turning it off/on might reset them or something...but surely by now they should know what the hell is going on there...

Has anyone noticed that hydrologic readings are "unavailable" consistently for Porcelain Tributary.

In addition, if you go to the webcams, the fire watch cam is pointed down to the ground, and as far as i can tell (i only have been watching last 15 minutes) old faithful is showing much longer than normal intervals according to webcam views.

www.yellowstone.net/geysers/geyser11.htm

As per NPS: Old Faithful erupts every 35 to 120 minutes for 1 1/2 to 5 minutes. ... You might see one interval of 60 minutes but it is very unlikely that you will see two in a row. ... In the last few years, long interval eruptions have been a little more common..

Can someone with some time on their hands start timing the length of continuous erupton and the intervals that Old Faithful is going off at?

PS-Gizzie you are my hero-thank you for intelligent input based on research and well thought out analysis..keep it coming!

Update 12


Well, after further digging I have found this paper which was published in December 2010 by University of Utah..... Things have stood out after reading it, so I have posted a few paragraphs below. Reading the whole paper is advised.....Basically, I think this is the reason why (after 8 years) Pelican Cone Sensor has been turned back on and from the paper below, it clearly shows that they have a keen interest in watching and monitoring that particular area, Pelican Cone (NE from SOUR CREEK DOME). Read below what I wrote as well......VERY INTERESTING.


An extraordinary episode of Yellowstone caldera uplift,
2004–2010, from GPS and InSAR observations



Geodetic measurements of Yellowstone ground
deformation from 2006 to June 2010 reveal deceleration
of the recent uplift of the Yellowstone caldera following
an unprecedented period of uplift that began in 2004. In
2006–2008 uplift rates decreased from 7 to 5 cm/yr and
4 to 2 cm/yr in the northern and southwest caldera,
respectively, and in 2009 rates further reduced to 2 cm/yr
and 0.5 cm/yr in the same areas. Elastic!dislocation
modeling of the deformation data robustly indicates an
expanding sill at 7–10 km depth near the top of a
seismically imaged, crystallizing magma reservoir, with a
60% decrease in the volumetric expansion rate between
2006 and 2009. Reduction of hydrothermal!volcanic
recharge from beneath the northeast caldera and seismic
moment release of the 2008 and 2010 large earthquake
swarms are plausible mechanisms for decelerating the caldera
uplift and may have influenced the change in recent caldera
motion from uplift to subsidence.

The higher uplift rates in the northeast caldera relative
to the southwest and the lateral decrease of sill expansion
from northeast to southwest could be caused by spatial variations of magma intrusion. DeNosaquo et al.
[2009] modeled the largest negative Bouguer gravity
anomaly of Yellowstone, 80 Mgal north of the Sour Creek
dome, and suggested that the anomaly source was an active
crustal magma reservoir extending 10 km northeast of the
caldera. This anomaly was inferred as fertile magma that
is replenished from Yellowstone’s mantle plume [Smith
et al., 2009]. Therefore, the inflation would be expected the greatest in the northeast caldera as magmatic replenishment continues from below, consistent with the pattern that the Sour Creek dome has the highest vertical motion during the caldera uplift. This mechanism may also explain the northeast to southwest migration of the Yellowstone caldera uplift from 1995 to 1997.

​


The bold text above says 'MAGMA RESERVOIR EXTENDING 10KM NORTHEAST . Pelican Cone is NE of Sour Creek Dome. Previous posters have said that they think the activity at Pelican is Magma on the move....This seems to be the case now. Obviously the Pelican Sensor was put back on to maybe monitor the flow of this magma reservoir....from the recent graphs, this must indicate A HELL OF A LOT OF MAGMA FLOWING......

What the sensors are showing IS NOT EQs, its magma flow/movement. The Elevation of Pelican Cone is 2939 m / 9643 ft High, this would indicate the reservoir is flowing down the mountain towards Sour Creek Dome at a astonishing rate, that's why Mirror Lake is picking up the activity 6 Miles away. Now, what that means I don't know. Could this make Sour Creek Dome rise at a rapid rate?? Sour Creek Dome and Mallard Lake Dome are connected...Mallard Lake Dome is Located near OLD FAITHFUL.......Old Faithful's Graphs are offline for some reason. NASA have said that there could be a problem under Old Faithful (See article on my first post page 1 for this article). It all adds up.......

Something seriously is brewing under Yellowstone that they are not wanting us to know properly.........I got a bad feeling about all this....

Really bad at Pelican Cone & Mirror Lake, check the graphs out....

Pelican Cone:

[link to www.isthisthingon.org]


Also, Between Mallard Lake Dome and Sour Creek Dome, the graphs on either side of the lake are getting very noisy, maybe due to the strong activity at Pelican Cone.....

Mary Lake (North Side)
[link to www.isthisthingon.org]

Mt Sheridan (South Side)
[link to www.isthisthingon.org]


Both really noisy between both domes.....Old Faithful graph still offline....

This is where you can see all the sensors to compare...
[link to www.isthisthingon.org]

El Q picked up on the graphs today as well........

Thread: WTF? IS YELLOWSTONE ABOUT TO BLOW? INTENSE HARMNONIC TREMORS AT PELICAN CONE.

Yes, I agree - DOOM!!!

It feels so weird to see zero quakes at Yellowstone,
[link to www.seis.utah.edu]

yet Pelican Cone with the different kind of sensors is GOING NUTS.

Most of the seismos on the east side seem to be picking up on the same thing - all after 19:15

For example, Mary Lake (YML on the map) also looking strange, restless?
[link to www.seis.utah.edu]

Something to remember as well........

If, or when, the Yellowstone volcano explodes again the resurgent domes would be the epicenters of the explosion. Long with seismic data, the height of the resurgent domes are closely monitored to hopefully predict and imminent explosion
[link to www.colorado.edu]


From the paper on my other post above, it clearly shows that there has been a lot of movement since 2006 with swarms of EQs happening in 2008 & 2010. The New Pelican Cone Sensor is clearly back on to monitor the flow coming from 10km NE......Don't forget too, Landsat and power Companies are reporting strange activity as well from outside of the park borders (Information & Link on Page 1).

Great info Gizzie :) cheers

We all got to remember as well, there is a lot of biggie EQs happening at the moment......

Also, birds are dying (Could be gasses in the air), Lack of winter & Really hot abnormal temperatures worldwide (Could be caused by a lot of magma rising in the Earth) plus there is other weird things going on. Even NINerez on another thread mentioned about magma is rising.

If it is, maybe this is what's going on at El Hierro, I mean, that is a weird eruption going on there, even the scientists don't know what's going on properly.

ALSO, back in 2001, there was a article posted about NASA saying this:

NASA says moving the Earth could save the planet


How do you stop a planet from overheating? You move it. NASA's idea on how to save the Earth from global warming is to nudge it a cooler location

Read more: [link to digitaljournal.com]

Ain't Global Warming caused by us??? Anyways, it makes me think that with all this and the hype about the sun going apeshit this year, NASA knew something was going on or is going to happen in the future.

Personally Now, I think things are going to ramp up...Somethings happening and us the little people will be the last to know.....

Your right....

Mary Lake (North Side) and Mt Sheridan (South Side) are showing activity (Graphs are above on my other post)...

Now, there right in between both resurgent Domes, Mallard Lake & Sour Creek. We know from the paper above that Sour Creek Dome is being fed from a magma reservoir 10km NE. That means Sour Creek Dome is filling up. Both Domes are connected and if Sour Creek Dome is nearly full, it will seep through to Mallard Lake Dome.

So, my guess is, both Mary Lake and Mt Sheridan is picking up on the flow happening between the Domes.....

This could be why they say that Old Faithful could be in trouble as Old Faithful is near Mallard Lake. Also, that could be the reason why Old Faithfuls graph is off, they don't want us to see whats going on properly.

The problem I have with Old Faithful Graph being off is, if NASA's Landsat has picked up on strange activity under Yellowstone and they say it's going to affect Old Faithful, Why is the Graph Off???

It has been off for a while now, surely with information like that from NASA, they would want to keep an eye on it. My guess is, it isn't offline....They are just not posting the graph on the internet for all to see, why???? Because something is going on.....

Just so you know......

I am not an expert whatsoever....

Some things I may say might not be accurate due to my inexperience. I am posting the information as to what I think is going on, I might be wrong on some things, BUT I know I am on right path with this.....

I am only trying to find out things because like all of you, I am also worried about things like this. While I may be in the UK, things like this would be a worldwide event so would affect me too.......

I seriously am not trying to scaremonger anyone....All I have done on this thread is provide information, graphs and papers as to what has & may happening at Yellowstone. I have also been asking questions & looking for answers too....

Now, It might be just Yellowstone doing her thing, it might be that something else is going to happen...I really don't know and will never say what I really think about this.. The information in this thread is here for you to make your OWN minds up about this....

Take everyone's comments and mine as a pinch of salt, you are your own person, you make your own mind up on what is or isn't going to happen.....

I will continue to post information and Ideas, but please, do your homework as well, don't always rely on others.

Be Safe all

Just so you all know, I have been following this since December as you know from my thread....

What I would like to say is....

I have never seen Mirror Lake showing the activity so strong before.....Don't forget, Mirror Lake is 6 Miles from Pelican Cone (Where the most activity is)

Now, looking at the graphs, Mirror lake intensified at around 19:15 UTC as clearly shown here:
[link to theinterveners.org]

Also.....Mary Lake & Mt Sheridan shows increased activity around the same time, with Mt Sheridan showing increased activity earlier on in the day as well....

Mary Lake : [link to theinterveners.org]

Mt Sheridan: [link to theinterveners.org]


Mary Lake is 22.36 miles away from Pelican Cone.
Mt Sheridan is 31.28 miles away from Pelican Cone.


All this clearly shows high activity is happening at Yellowstone.

Thanks......

Let me see if I understand this correctly, the magma is originating 10 km Northeast of the resurgent domes? That would pretty much confirm that the crust is moving over a hotspot in the mantle and the next eruption will not take place in the same spot as last time. The resurgent domes could very well be the sparks that set off another eruption, the crater though likely will be centered more to the northeast. That would also explain the activity outside of the parks borders. I believe our focus may be in the wrong spot. The eruptions in the past took place in a mountain range and were in a linear pattern of moving to the Northeast, an area that is dense with rock and minerals. Northeast of yellowstone park is plains, the crust is thinner than where the mountains are, the mountains create more resistance than plains. Look at it this way, the hotspot eruptions happening in a mountain range would be like a bullet hitting a concrete block. Whereas the plains would be more like a bullet hitting a sheet of plywood. Lord I hope I am making sense here. Something Is going on, people need to watch closely. Kudos Gizzie for keeping a watchful eye on this

No problem, thanks.....

What you have said above, someone mentioned the exact same things somewhere in the thread....Come to think of it, I think it might of been you, sorry if it's not. If not, then it's not only you who is thinking like this.....

Last Edited by Gizzie on 01/13/2012 08:15 PM

Yep, it was me lol. Most volcanoes seem to be stationary, their source of magma always connected, not drifting toward or away from the volcano. Then you have other volcanoes that are just the result of a hotspot getting to a weak spot in the earths crust and erupting, connected to the spot and feeding magma until it's next eruption in a different location. If it can be proven, it could change our understanding of geothermal science.

Also......

A few EQs have happened around Madison River after 19:15 UTC.....(Note the blue quake especially)

[link to www.isthisthingon.org]

This could be related OR this could be quakes happening at Old Faithful, but as you all know, the graphs are offline for there.........

Apologies if this has already been mentioned as I'm only just joining in.

If you go back to June 26th 2011 at this link

[link to www.isthisthingon.org]

you can see the Joseph's Coat station showing a lot of activity. Then on the 27th the station is stopped.


On October 7th - Josephs Coat is stopped completely and Pelicon Cone comes online.

Oh yeah, I wonder why they turned that off....

Thank you for bringing up the date of when Pelican Cone was turned on as it just reminded me to post this....

Notice the Pelican Graph when it was switched on:
[link to www.isthisthingon.org]

Peican's Graph Now:
[link to www.isthisthingon.org]

I did some digging around and noticed that when the stations have just been turned on, it shows what it shows on the first graph for a few days...I have already posted on this.....

But, look at the graph when it was switched on...At the bottom on the left, it says 100.00 microvolts. Todays graph above shows they have changed the frequency to 1600.00 microvolts.......

Now, my little knowledge on this goes as far as this below....I read it somewhere but can't remember now where, think I'm right though....

A low microvoltage means the sensor is very sensitive, while a high microvoltage means the sensor is not very sensitive.....

So, they have Pelican Cone and Mirror Lake at a high microvoltage........So, if they are not suppose to be too sensitive, what are they picking up???

Now, the reason why Mary Lake & Mt Sheridan picked up on the activity is because Mary Lake is set at 125.00 Mv and Mt Sheridan is set at 100.00 Mv, so that means they are very sensitive, sensitive enough to pick the activity up from over 30 Miles away.....

Mt Sheridan: [link to www.isthisthingon.org]

Also, if you go back a bit, you will see around the 20/21 June 2011 is when that starts to happen.......however, afters it starts, it didn't stop at all until the 27th. Also, it ain't been showing a pattern like Pelican Cone has been showing.....What also makes the recent activity at Pelican different is the fact that, a number of times, other stations have been picking up the activity at Pelican. There is something on my first post (I think) about Madison River showing the same pattern as Pelican around the 28th Dec I think, if not it was after that date....

Yesterday (13th) the graphs clearly show that they picked up the activity at Pelican, When Pelican Cone intensified at 19:15 UTC, Mary Lake and Mt Sheridan showed the same pattern as Pelican Cone, as did Mirror lake too....

Mary Lake is 22.36 Miles Away
Mt Sheridan is 31.28 Miles Away
