A team of geoscientists have discovered a sharp, volatile-rich cap just 3.8 kilometers beneath Yellowstone 's surface.

This cap, made of magma, acts like a lid, helping to trap pressure and heat below it.

The findings suggest that the Yellowstone magma reservoir is actively releasing gas while remaining in a stable state.

The study offers broader insights into subsurface imaging with potential applications for carbon storage, energy exploration and hazard assessment.

By identifying this sharp, volatile-rich cap beneath Yellowstone, Schmandt 's team has established a new benchmark for monitoring the volcano's activity.

Future research could attempt to detect any shifts in melt content or gas accumulation.
