This 3D visualization highlights geophysical data in the YellowStone region. Each component has been accurately geo-referenced so that correlations between data sets can be assessed (e.g., earthquake locations, mapped faults,geysers, volcanic vents). This scene file includes earthquake locations for the full catalog (Yell_eqs_all_PINK.sd) as well as earthquake catalogs separated by year (Yell_eqs_XXXX_RED.sd), GPS markers (HOLM, 10RD, HOTS, PELI, TROU, WASH), resurgent dome locations (resurgent_dome_mallard.sd, resurgent_dome_sourcreek.sd), geyser locations and names (geysers.sd, geysers_labels.sd), volcanic vent locations (volcanic_vents.sd), GPS station markers (sta_GPS.sd), Geo-located photos of the GPS stations (photo_XXXX.sd) and location information (XXXX_back.sd), topography (topo_YS_04May05.sd), select fault traces (teton_fault.sd), lakes (lake_Jacson.sd, lake_heblake.sd, Yell_lakes.sd), panoramic photography (Sheridan_pan.sd, washburn_pan.sd), roads (ynp_roads), boundaries of the Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone National park, and the Yellowstone National Park Caldera, and USA state boundaries (GT_bound_geo, ynp_bound.sd, ynp_caldera.sd, USA_state_drape.sd). A title image and a photo montage are also included for reference.
