Supervolcano - Yellowstone National Park USGS
News Reports from yesterday December 16th Summary- 
Scientists have used seismic waves and earthquakes in recent years to update the amount of magma they believe is in the hidden caldera under Yellowstone. They are now estimating there is 2.5 more molten magma in the chamber then previously predicted. This information comes from a lead author of Yellowstone history and future, Jamie Farrell of the University of Utah. Currently, the caldera is 88.5 km in length, 29 km in width and is at a depth of 3-9 km depending on the location of recording the information. This new information did not give a sense of when the next eruption would occur, as it is a challenge to predict, but scientist do predict another eruption (VEI 5 or larger) will occur sometime in the future.
