The volcanic story of Yellowstone National Park, however, begins nearly 17 million years ago and will continue long into the geological future, says volcanologist Kirt Kempter. He offers an exploration of the geology of Yellowstone, including the rocks and hydrothermal features that make this national park unique in the world. Google Earth aerial views help observe the park’s geology from a bird's-eye perspective, along with instructive diagrams, maps, and field photos. Participants also gain insight into how ongoing volcanic and geothermal processes continue to shape Yellowstone’s dramatic landscape today.
