Analysis suggests Steamboat has a 'more complex and deeper' plumbing system than Old Faithful.
What is behind the uptick in eruptions over 2018 and 2019 is not known."There don't appear to be any obvious changes in the geyser, at least in terms of surface activity," Mike Poland, the scientist-in-charge at YVO told."For subsurface activity, we're hoping to learn more from some seismic deployments that happened in 2018 and 2019."
"A preliminary look suggests that Steamboat has a plumbing system that is more complex and deeper than that of Old Faithful, which might be a reason for the different eruption style, and also the reason that Steamboat eruptions cause nearby Cistern Spring to drain," he said. "Steamboat, of course, is very interesting, and I would like to take advantage of the frequent eruptions to continue to learn more. At some point, this cycle of activity will stop, and the geyser will go back to sleep. When that happens, our window for learning more about this interesting geyser will effectively end," Poland said., illustrates the number of Steamboat Geyser eruptions over the decades.2019 also saw fewer earthquakes at Yellowstone than normal.
