  • The science of the “X-ray vision” that reveals the magma beneath Yellowstone


    Yellowstone Caldera Chronicles is a weekly column written by scientists and collaborators of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory. This week’s contribution is from Scott K. Johnson, Science Communication Associate at EarthScope Consortium.

    Jeopardy is unique for its question-to-the-answer format, with contestants using a clue like “this animal starred in a 1975 Steven Spielberger film and can constantly regrow lost teeth” to correctly respond “what is a shark?” The geophysical techniques that allow us to image the magma beneath Yellowstone―as in a recent study that provided a view of multiple separate magma reservoirs― work similarly. These studies are often of great public interest, producing visuals that are (relatively) easy to understand. But how exactly do they work?

    This example shows areas where seismic waves travel more quickly in blue, and slower areas in red, beneath the western United States. Faults are black lines, and blue line is the San Andreas Fault. You can explore the data at any depth beneath the surface with EarthScope’s velocity model viewer (https://observablehq.com/@earthscope/emc-horizontal-slicer).  

    Seeing below the surface is the realm of tomography―in medical imaging, the “CT” in “CT scan” stands for Computed Tomography―which can be done in several ways. The most common method uses shaking measured by seismometers to reveal variations in the physical properties of the Earth.

    The similarity to Jeopardy is that these techniques work backwards―what we call “inversion.” Because we can’t directly take a measuring tape underground and inspect a magma reservoir, we have to rely on the fact that this magma reservoir can affect measurements of other things, like seismic waves that pass through. If we knew exactly what was underground, we could pretty clearly predict its effect on the seismic waves reaching nearby seismometers. But instead, the inverse solution is to take the pattern of measured seismic waves and work backwards to find a plausible model of the conditions underground that would cause that pattern.

    It’s a bit like working out where a traffic jam is occurring in town based solely on how late each of your coworkers arrives home at the end of the workday. Knowing that they all left work at 5:15, and knowing which part of town each one was headed for, you could probably figure out where the slowdown is based on the fact that two people were delayed 15 minutes, one was delayed 5 minutes, and one experienced no delay at all.

    In fact, a common method of seismic tomography involves measuring the travel time for seismic waves from earthquakes and noting where they arrive at seismometers “late.” This allows us to map out regions of rock where seismic waves travel more quickly or more slowly. That information can then be turned into estimates of physical properties like temperature, rock type, density, or the presence (and amount) of magma. The more seismometers recording data and the more earthquakes that are measured, the better the resolution of the map.

    The same idea can be applied in other ways to seismic data. We can look at the details of the wiggles on the seismometer rather than just their arrival time, for example, seeing which areas of the Earth dampen the seismic waves and which ring like a bell. Or we can replace the earthquake with another source of shaking energy, like a truck-mounted piston that thumps the ground, the constant background din of a busy highway, or even the global noise created by ocean waves. Through different approaches, we can image something local, like a magma reservoir, or we can image the entire planet―this is how we know about the properties of the mantle, outer core, and inner core of the Earth.

    Schematic showing magma storage beneath Yellowstone caldera. Nested calderas resulting from the Huckleberry Ridge Tuff, Mesa Falls Tuff, and Lava Creek Tuff caldera forming eruptions are shown as solid black, green, and orange lines, respectively. C1 and C2 represent bodies of basaltic magma and C3 and C5-C7 represent rhyolitic magma bodies beneath Yellowstone caldera. Magnetotelluric stations occupied during experiment are shown as magenta triangles. Sour Creek and Mallard Lake resurgent domes are shown as purple lines. The locations of Lower Geyser Basin (LGB), Norris Geyser Basin (NGB), and Hot Springs Basin (HSB) are shown. Figure is from Bennington et al., “The progression of basaltic–rhyolitic melt storage at Yellowstone Caldera.” Nature 637:8044 (2025), 97-102.

    The recent image of Yellowstone’s magma system was created from yet another kind of data. Instead of using seismometers that measure shaking, magnetotelluric instruments were used to measure the electrical conductivity beneath the ground.

    The Sun’s energy and also lightning around the world induce electrical and magnetic fields within the Earth, but the strength of these fields varies from place to place depending on the conductivity of the material beneath the surface. And since measurements at different frequencies relate to the conductivity at different depths, we can collect quite a lot of information through magnetotelluric measurements. Magma has a much higher conductivity than solid rock, so the magnetotelluric technique is of obvious use around volcanoes.

    The inversion in the case of magnetotelluric data works out the 3-D pattern of conductivity underground that can explain the measurements made at the surface. And again, the more surface measurements you have close together, the more detailed the 3-D image becomes.

    All kinds of tomography have been employed at Yellowstone to give us a much richer understanding of the magma system that lies beneath the ground. Similar studies have been done at other volcanoes as well—like Mount St. Helens. Even on a much smaller scale, these techniques have been used to image the hot-water “plumbing” beneath individual geysers in Yellowstone, giving us insights into the reasons for their behavior.

    Permanent monitoring networks of instruments like seismometers around Yellowstone help make this possible―sometimes supplemented by temporary additions of even more instruments for higher-resolution imaging. The end result is a better understanding of what the system looks like beneath the surface, how it works, and how it may behave over time, which is critical to the mission of keeping people out of harm’s way―out of jeopardy, you might say.



    Yellowstone National Park is home to one of the most powerful and active volcanic systems in the world. Beneath the surface lies a massive reservoir of magma that fuels the park’s famous geysers and hot springs. But how do scientists know what lies beneath the surface? The answer lies in the science of “X-ray vision.”

    Using a technique known as seismic tomography, scientists are able to create detailed images of the subsurface by analyzing the way seismic waves travel through the Earth. Just like how X-rays can reveal the bones inside our bodies, seismic waves can reveal the magma chambers and pathways beneath Yellowstone.

    By placing seismometers around the park and monitoring the vibrations created by earthquakes and other sources, scientists are able to map out the structure of the Earth’s crust and mantle in incredible detail. This allows them to pinpoint the location and size of magma chambers, as well as the pathways that magma takes as it rises to the surface.

    This “X-ray vision” has revolutionized our understanding of Yellowstone’s volcanic system, helping scientists to better predict when and where eruptions may occur. By studying the complex network of magma beneath the park, researchers are able to gain valuable insights into the inner workings of one of the world’s most fascinating geological hotspots.

    So the next time you visit Yellowstone National Park, remember that beneath your feet lies a world of fiery molten rock, just waiting to be revealed by the science of “X-ray vision.”

  • Saudi Arabia surpasses Egypt as dominant Arab leader under MBS’s vision


    On January 12, two seemingly unrelated events took place in Saudi Arabia. In the first, Real Madrid faced Barcelona in the final of the Spanish Super Cup in Jeddah. Thousands of Saudis filled the stands to witness a thrilling 5-2 victory for Barcelona. The game served as a preview of the FIFA World Cup, which will be hosted by Saudi Arabia in 2034.

    On the same day, in Riyadh, the foreign ministers of the United States, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Turkey, along with the secretary general of the Arab League and representatives from the European Union and 11 Arab states, convened to discuss developments in Syria. A few days later, the Saudi foreign minister visited Syria.

    This rapid response highlights the immense importance Saudi Arabia places on developments in Syria for the future of the region, particularly in light of the active involvement of Turkey and Qatar. It also reflects Saudi Arabia’s readiness to offer humanitarian and economic assistance if the new Syrian regime adopts a balanced policy – one that ensures the country’s territorial integrity, protects ethnic and religious minorities, and distances Iran’s proxies.

    The two events mentioned above clearly demonstrate the prominent role Saudi Arabia has assumed under the leadership of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), a role also evident during the Israel-Gaza War. For instance, on November 11–12, 2023, following a summit of African states, Saudi Arabia hosted a summit bringing together the Arab and Muslim worlds to discuss the wars in Gaza and Lebanon.

    This summit convened both the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation – marking the first time in history that these two organizations met simultaneously in the same location. This move by the Saudis served as a clear statement of their intent and their leadership role in the Arab, Islamic, and African spheres.

    However, it appears that the crown prince’s ambitions are not confined to the region but are also global, relating to both the diplomatic and economic spheres, as well as to softer areas such as sports and media.

    DIPLOMATICALLY, SAUDI Arabia has established, in partnership with the European Union, the Global Alliance for the Implementation of the Two-State Solution, an international coalition with some 90 member states. The Saudi declaration that normalization with Israel will not be pursued without a Palestinian state – a significant change of position by the Saudis in the wake of the war – indicates their desire to lead an international process to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

    In the economic sphere, Saudi Arabia is the largest economy in the Middle East. Its Vision 2030 development plan was designed to reduce the country’s dependence on oil incomes by developing new areas of economic activity. The Saudis want to develop other economic areas apart from oil, gas, and petrochemicals, and become a country that attracts tens of millions of tourists every year, with sports – and especially football – an important tool for advancing this policy.

    Saudi Arabia has three key advantages in this regard. First, it holds the largest oil reserves in the world, producing approximately three million barrels a day, with the capacity to quickly increase production. In the event of a disruption to global oil supply, Saudi Arabia, alongside the United Arab Emirates, could produce an additional four million barrels daily, rapidly compensating for the shortfall. 

    Equally important, Saudi Arabia can do so at a relatively low cost, as its cost of producing a barrel of oil is the lowest in the world at just $10. The second advantage is its strategic location, allowing it to serve as a key transport hub between India and Europe, with Israel potentially playing an important role in facilitating this connection.

    Saudi Arabia also serves as an important economic anchor for Egypt and Jordan. The tens of billions of dollars these countries have received over the last decade have played a crucial role in maintaining the stability of their regimes. One notable outcome of this economic aid was Egypt’s return of the Sanafir and Tiran islands to Saudi Arabia in 2017. 

    Additionally, Saudi Arabia’s economic leverage is expected to bolster its efforts to gain influence in Syria and Lebanon, particularly after the election of a new president in Lebanon who is not aligned with Hezbollah. It is no surprise that the Saudi foreign minister was quick to visit Lebanon after Joseph Aoun’s election on January 9.

    In addition, Saudi Arabia plays an important role in terms of media in the Arab world, with its Al Arabiya network being no less popular than the Qatari Al Jazeera. 

    LAST BUT not least, Saudi Arabi enjoys a unique status in Islam due to the location within its borders of the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, to which more than two million Muslims make the Hajj pilgrimage each year.

    Despite its relative military weakness – which it is supposed to overcome thanks to an American air defense umbrella – Saudi Arabia’s diplomatic, economic, religious, and media capabilities, alongside the charismatic leadership of MBS, position it as the natural leader of the Arab world.

    These capabilities now face a new American president who seeks to economically pressure Iran while keeping oil prices low. If Trump aims to achieve his vision of resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, he will need full cooperation from Saudi Arabia. The first step in any process will, of course, be an agreement for the complete release of hostages and the end of the war, which would establish a post-conflict framework for governance in Gaza that is acceptable to both the United States and the Arab world, particularly Saudi Arabia.

    For years, Egypt has been seen as the leader of the Arab world, or at least considered the “key player,” a term coined by Egyptian journalist Muhammad Husayn Haykal. While Egypt remains an important regional actor, particularly in relation to Gaza and Arab-Israeli relations, its demographic and economic challenges have weakened its position, creating a vacuum that has been filled by an increasingly assertive Saudi crown prince.

    Prof. Elie Podeh teaches in the Department of Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and is a board member of Mitvim – The Israeli Institute for Regional Foreign Policies. Prof. Onn Winckler is head of the Department of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies at the University of Haifa.







    Saudi Arabia has officially surpassed Egypt as the dominant Arab leader under the vision of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS). With bold reforms and ambitious initiatives, MBS has propelled Saudi Arabia to the forefront of the region, solidifying its position as a major player in the Arab world.

    From economic diversification to social liberalization, MBS has implemented a wide range of reforms aimed at modernizing Saudi Arabia and boosting its global influence. The Vision 2030 plan, spearheaded by MBS, has set the kingdom on a path towards sustainable development and economic growth, while also promoting a more open and tolerant society.

    With a bold foreign policy agenda, including initiatives such as the Arab NATO and the Red Sea Project, Saudi Arabia is increasingly asserting its leadership in the region. The kingdom’s efforts to mediate conflicts and promote stability have also been widely recognized, further enhancing its standing as a key player in regional politics.

    As Saudi Arabia continues to expand its influence and assert its leadership in the Arab world, it is clear that under MBS’s vision, the kingdom is well on its way to becoming the dominant Arab leader in the region.

  • Opinion | Tulsi Gabbard Fits Right Into Trump’s Vision for America


    At a campaign rally in Virginia in June, Donald Trump hinted at the new kind of relationship America might have with Russia, China and North Korea if he were to be re-elected. “If you have a smart president, they’re not enemies,” Mr. Trump said. “You’ll make them do great.”

    Mr. Trump has made no secret of his admiration for the governance style of dictators. He recently called Xi Jinping of China “a brilliant guy” for controlling “1.4 billion people with an iron fist.” He has signaled his sympathies with the new international order that Mr. Xi and other autocrats are seeking to create — in which to “do great” all too often means engaging in violence, transnational repression, foreign disinformation, espionage, sabotage and propaganda.

    Perhaps none of Mr. Trump’s picks for his new cabinet embody this worldview better than former Representative Tulsi Gabbard, his choice for director of national intelligence. Her nomination encapsulates Mr. Trump’s apparent intent to reshape America’s global profile by cooperating with autocrats and facilitating the spread of their anti-democratic worldviews.

    If democracy protection and preserving trust with foreign allies were the priorities of the Trump administration, Ms. Gabbard would not be set to appear before Congress. The director of national intelligence, who sits at the head of all American clandestine agencies, not only has access to classified materials from 18 U.S. intelligence agencies but also can decide what materials remain classified or become declassified. The director chooses what information to include in the president’s daily briefing and has a say on what should be shared with allies.

    Ms. Gabbard is a singular choice in this regard. Her apparent affinity for the virulent strain of Hindu nationalism that has fueled Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s assaults on Indian democracy, her off-the-books meeting with then-President Bashar al-Assad of Syria in 2017 and her repetition of Russian and Syrian government propaganda immediately raised alarms about her judgment and suitability for the job when Mr. Trump announced his choice in November. Since then, nearly 100 former U.S. diplomatic, intelligence and national security officials have signed an open letter accusing Ms. Gabbard of having a “sympathy for dictators,” among many other worrying allegations.

    Russia experts and intelligence experts have frequently remarked on Ms. Gabbard’s history of taking positions that defend Russian interests or cast the United States as a villain. She blamed NATO and the Biden administration for provoking Russia’s full invasion of Ukraine nearly three years ago by failing to respect “Russia’s legitimate security concerns” and suggested that the United States covertly worked with Ukraine on dangerous biological pathogens. Whether regarding Syria or Russia, she has consistently portrayed “America as the problem and the dictators as misunderstood,” observed Tom Nichols, a national security analyst.

    Mr. Trump appears to share some of these views. Many of his statements on foreign affairs suggest a similar internalization of an autocratic view of geopolitics that blames democracies for creating international conflict. When Mr. Trump suggests that President Joe Biden’s support of Ukraine’s bid to join NATO provoked Russia’s invasion, for instance, he too justifies the Kremlin’s autocratic aggression as a legitimate response to the hostile actions of a democracy.

    It’s not just Ms. Gabbard’s views on foreign affairs that are indicative of how Mr. Trump envisions the aims of his second administration. If one thinks like an autocrat, the foremost quality that would seem to disqualify her from service — a simple lack of experience — is an asset, not a liability. Authoritarian-minded leaders value loyalty far more than expertise or competency. They hollow out democratic institutions by replacing nonpartisan civil servants and career professionals with individuals who will repeat their talking points and do their bidding, no matter what that entails. That’s what has happened in the Hungary of Prime Minister Viktor Orban, where opposition figures and nonpolitical professionals have been removed from public institutions such as election commissions and the judiciary.

    For sensitive or weighty positions, autocrats may choose an outsider who lacks relationships with trusted experts in the field or an individual who seems unprepared to lead a large organization. Inexperienced individuals may be doubly dependent on the leader and vulnerable to the influence of the leader’s allies, and can be blamed for any mistakes or scandals that may surface. Ms. Gabbard could master the director’s job. But Mr. Trump’s choice of someone so unqualified at the start is telling.

    All of this, of course, carries distinct national security risks. Intelligence experts have predicted a proliferation of chaos in their sphere if Ms. Gabbard is confirmed. They worry that her lack of personal connections with foreign intelligence professionals and the distrust engendered by her pro-autocratic sentiments are likely to affect foreign intelligence-sharing with the United States, including from our closest allies.

    Spreading false information among enemy countries has been a staple of espionage and malign influence campaigns around the world. As someone who deployed to Iraq and Kuwait with the Army National Guard, Ms. Gabbard must know this well and should have been particularly alert to such misinformation. Yet she reportedly continued to rely on Russia Today for news, even after her aides told her it was Kremlin propaganda, and to circulate Syrian conspiracy theories, questioning, for instance, whether Mr. al-Assad’s 2013 and 2017 chemical weapons attacks might have been false-flag operations by Syrian rebels.

    These national security risks will be redoubled if Mr. Trump chooses to follow the authoritarian playbook and use the intelligence community for personal gain. As nations edge toward autocracy, the spy agencies can be redirected toward a leader’s retribution schemes. The autocrat’s eternal quest to feel safe means there are always more internal enemies to be investigated and tracked, and more dissidents abroad to target. Under Mr. Modi, for instance, India’s Research and Analysis Wing has become more active in transnational repression of his critics in the Indian diaspora.

    Six years ago, Mr. Trump suggested he was open to closer relationships with the world’s dictators. “I meet them all,” he declared. “Come on in. Whatever’s good for the United States.” His nomination of Ms. Gabbard for director of national intelligence suggests that he intends to renew the invitation. Autocrats may well find an even warmer reception in America during the second Trump administration. Our democracy will pay the price.

    In recent years, Tulsi Gabbard has made a name for herself as a controversial figure within the Democratic Party. From her views on foreign policy to her interactions with leaders like Bashar al-Assad, Gabbard has often been at odds with the mainstream Democratic establishment.

    However, what many fail to realize is that Gabbard’s views actually align quite closely with those of President Donald Trump. Both politicians have advocated for a more isolationist approach to foreign policy, expressing skepticism of military intervention and advocating for a more America-first mindset.

    Furthermore, Gabbard has been criticized for her conservative views on issues such as LGBTQ rights and gun control, aligning her more closely with the Republican Party than with her Democratic colleagues. This has led many to speculate that Gabbard could potentially switch parties or run as a third-party candidate in the future.

    In many ways, Gabbard embodies the same populist, anti-establishment sentiment that propelled Trump to victory in 2016. Her willingness to challenge the status quo and advocate for unconventional policies has garnered her a dedicated following, much like Trump’s base of supporters.

    While Gabbard may not be a perfect fit for the Republican Party, it’s clear that she shares many of the same values and priorities as the current president. Whether or not she chooses to align herself more closely with Trump in the future remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Tulsi Gabbard fits right into Trump’s vision for America.
