Description: Hydrothermal Dynamics of Yellowstone Lake
The HD-YLAKE science team has converged on Yellowstone National Park for their third and final field season. While some science teams are collecting their long-term measuring instruments from the bottom of the lake, others are continuing to make new measurements.
Bill Seyfried, Christie Cino, Chunyang Tan, and Peter Scheuermann from the University of Minnesota are using the Yogi Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV), to analyze the chemistry of the hydrothermal vents on the bottom of Yellowstone Lake.
All 12 of the dual pressure and temperature (P/T) probes that were deployed on the Yellowstone Lake floor last year have been recovered!
