  14. Taking Yellowstone’s Pulse • Data files: • The National Park Service map as an overlay. • Satellite images of the ground (LiDAR). • Yellowstone’s caldera • Geysers • Yellowstone’s hot areas • Instructions: • Instructions for using Google Earth. • Instructions for converting an Excel spreadsheet into a file for Google Earth.

  15. Taking Yellowstone’s PulseResources Other Resources Data • Map linking to data for individual hydrothermal features. http://www.yellowstone.net/geysers/thermalfeatures.htm Information • Learn about hydrothermal systems and how they work. http://www.nps.gov/yell/naturescience/geothermal.htm • Learn about geysers and other hydrothermal features of Yellowstone. http://www.yellowstone.net/geysers/thermalfeatures.htm • Learn more about geysers from the Geyser Observation and Study Assoc. http://www.geyserstudy.org/ • Learn more measuring volcanic gas emissions. http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/activity/methods/gas/index.php
