CBS reports that new data has
revealed "geological hazards"
underneath Yellowstone National Park.
.
A team of scientists used lidar technology to shed light on
prehistoric landslides and massive earthquakes that may have
permanently impacted the potentially dangerous geologic area.
Advanced geological surface mapping gave
geologists the clearest view to date of Paradise
Valley and a northern portion of Yellowstone.
.
Lidar, short for "light detection and ranging,"
is used to survey large areas of land with
a sensor usually mounted on an airplane.
Geologists have an intense interest in
the area, as Yellowstone National Park
sits atop a known volcanic hotspot.
However, Michael Poland, a geophysicist with the
U.S. Geological Survey, says that the chance of
a volcanic eruption "is very unlikely in our lifetimes.".
Poland added that studying the area remains crucial
due to the likelihood of damaging earthquakes and
hydrothermal explosions in the foreseeable future.
.
Yann Gavillot, a geologist with the Geohazards Program at
Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology, wrote about the
lidar data in a weekly column by the U.S. Geological Survey.
Gavillot said the work could , "significantly improve hazards maps by allowing
better characterization of the location, geometry,
and activity of known faults and landslides.".
CBS reports that the same technology
helped geologists uncover active faults along
the edges of Yellowstone in August of 2022

In an unusual event for the east coast of the United States, New York experienced a rare earthquake measuring 4.7 magnitude, as reported by the US Geological Survey (USGS) on Friday (Apr 5). The quake, striking in the morning around 10:23 am (local time), caused buildings to shake, instigating panic among residents. This occurrence was particularly alarming as New York City is not typically considered an earthquake-prone area. Coincidentally, the earthquake coincided with a speech by Janti Soeripto, President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Save the Children US, addressing the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).

Escalating tensions between Ukraine and Russia intensify the demand for air defense systems. Kyiv seeks US Patriot systems, but Washington's support falls short. Poland's President confirms inability to provide Patriots due to incomplete defense infrastructure. Despite Ukraine's urgent pleas, Poland, along with Greece and Romania, cannot offer Patriots. Germany and Spain offer support, but the scarcity of these systems remains a concern.
