    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Yellowstone Hot Springs are Organic Chemodiversity Hot Spots Michael Gonsior1, Norbert Hertkorn2, Nancy Hinman3, Sabine E.-M. Dvorski2, Mourad Harir2, William J. Cooper4 & Philippe Schmitt-Kopplin2,5 Received: 5 June 2018 Yellowstone National Park hydrothermal springs were investigated according to their organic Accepted: 11 September 2018 geochemistry with a special focus on the Yellowstone hot spring dissolved organic matter (YDOM) Published: xx xx xxxx that was solid-phase extracted. Here we show that YDOM has a unique chemodiversity that has not yet been observed anywhere else in aquatic surface environments and that Yellowstone hot springs are organic chemodiversity hot spots. Four main geochemically classifed hot spring types (alkaline- chloride, mixed alkaline-chloride, acid-chloride-sulfate and travertine-precipitating) exhibited distinct organic molecular signatures that correlated remarkably well with the known inorganic geochemistry and manifested themselves in excitation emission matrix fuorescence, nuclear magnetic resonance, and ultrahigh resolution mass spectra. YDOM contained thousands of molecular formulas unique to Yellowstone of which 80% contained sulfur, even in low hydrogen sulfde containing alkaline-chloride springs. This unique YDOM refects the extreme organic geochemistry present in the hydrothermal features of Yellowstone National Park. Physical, chemical, and biological processes control the evolution of minerals and dissolved organic mat- ter (DOM) over a vast range of mass, length, and time1. Indeed, mutual interferences and interactions among these processes presumably have defned chemical and biological evolution throughout Earth history. Modern terrestrial biology operates largely within limited temperature, pH, and redox conditions. In contrast, extreme environments, such as hot springs, have wide ranges of physicochemical parameters, generally believed to be similar to environments found on early Earth2.

Several of the more prominent geysers and hot springs are included on this tour with information concerning their eruption patterns, names, and relationships with other geothermal features. Upper Geyser Basin - South Section: Old Faithful Geyser Old Faithful erupts more frequently than any of the other big geysers, although it is not the largest or most regular geyser in the park. Its average interval between eruptions is about 91 minutes, varying from 65 - 92 minutes. An eruption lasts 1 1/2 to 5 minutes, expels 3,700 - 8,400 gallons (14,000 - 32,000 liters) of boiling water, and reaches heights of 106 - 184 feet (30 - 55m). It was named for its consistent performance by members of the Washburn Expedition in 1870. Although its average interval has lengthened through the years (due to earthquakes and vandalism), Old Faithful is still as spectacular and predictable as it was a century ago. The largest active geyser in the world is Steamboat Geyser in the Norris Geyser Basin. Giantess Geyser Infrequent but violent eruptions characterize Giantess Geyser.

  • Yellowstone Unbound
    YELLOWSTONE UNBOUND “Now and then we hear the wilder voices of the wilderness”—Theodore Roosevelt To celebrate the rate solar eclipse in 2017, National Parks Unbound will be hosting a special TOTALITY trip as our Yellowstone Unbound trip will be right next to the Totality. What better place to observe this than in the middle of a National Park. We will be adjusting our itinerary on this trip slightly to ensure that we are in the best location to observe the Totality. As well we will be providing solar eclipse viewing glasses to all guests so that they can enjoy the experience. Accommodations in the area are filling fast. We still have space on our departure and we take the entire headache out of viewing the TOTALITY. This is the first Total Solar Eclipse on US Mainland soil since 1979 and there will not be another one along this path until 2045. Come experience the shadow. Since Yellowstone National Park was established in 1872, it has been a sanctuary for the wilder voices of the wilderness. Wolves and coyotes yowl and howl across the still night. The low rumble of buffalo herds, snorting deer, and whistles of bald eagles break the silence. And below the surface, geysers gurgle and spit. We’ve crafted a small-group, multisport tour through Yellowstone that takes you into Yellowstone’s wilderness and lets you hear its wildest voices. We spend our days exploring Yellowstone’s best wildlife viewing spots and surreal terrain in small groups that enrich your experience. Our nights are spent immersed in nature—unplugged and unbounded—so that your adventure doesn’t end as the sun goes down.

  • Analysis of Hot Springs and Associated Deposits in Yellowstone National Park Using ASTER and AVIRIS Remote Sensing
    Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research 135 (2004) 195–219 www.elsevier.com/locate/jvolgeores Analysis of hot springs and associated deposits in Yellowstone National Park using ASTER and AVIRIS remote sensing Melanie J. Hellman*, Michael S. Ramsey Department of Geology and Planetary Science, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15260-3332, USA Accepted 5 December 2003 Abstract The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) and the Airborne Visible/IR Image Spectrometer (AVIRIS) data were used to characterize hot spring deposits in the Lower, Midway, and Upper Geyser Basins of Yellowstone National Park from the visible/near infrared (VNIR) to thermal infrared (TIR) wavelengths. Field observations of these basins provided the critical ground-truth for comparison with the remote sensing results. Fourteen study sites were selected based on diversity in size, deposit type, and thermal activity. Field work included detailed site surveys such as land cover analysis, photography, Global Positioning System (GPS) data collection, radiometric analysis, and VNIR spectroscopy. Samples of hot spring deposits, geyser deposits, and soil were also collected. Analysis of ASTER data provided broad scale characteristics of the hot springs and their deposits, including the identification of thermal anomalies. AVIRIS high spectral resolution short-wave infrared (SWIR) spectroscopy provided the ability to detect hydrothermally altered minerals as well as a calibration for the multispectral SWIR ASTER data. From the image analysis, differences in these basins were identified including the extent of thermal alteration, the location and abundance of alteration minerals, and a comparison of active, near- extinct, and extinct geysers. We determined the activity level of each region using a combination of the VNIR-SWIR-TIR spectral differences as well as the presence of elevated temperatures, detected by the TIR subsystem of ASTER.
