The Hot Side of Yellowstone – What was Yellowstone like before the Supervolcano?

In our second season of Bison Jam, we are focusing on the “hot side” of Yellowstone. For the first episode of season two, we are visiting with Dr. Madison Myers, a volcanologist, and an Associate Professor in the Department of Earth Sciences at Montana State University. Dr. Myers shares what the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem looked like before the supervolcano arrived in the area. Did you know that the Yellowstone area had volcanic activity well before the supervolcano or that the area was once an inland sea? Dr. Meyers takes us through the fascinating geologic history of Yellowstone. We hope you enjoy the podcast and we thank you for listening!
