  "With the caldera slowing its rise and seismic activity in the Park receding to normal levels, a new stretch of stability may in store for the Yellowstone National Park supervolcano.
  A report from the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory noted the slowdown in the rise of the caldera, as measured by GPS data collected between mid-2004 and mid-2009; in fact, the slowdown is total and could indicate a stop in the rise, according to researchers. This fits with predictions made back in 2007 about how the supervolcano would act: researchers had predicted the caldera would rise for a relatively short period of tume but then the uplift would end, leading to a stable period in supervolcano activity. The uplift has indeed apparently ended.

  Add to that a relatively quiet month in seismic activity, and you have the makings of stability. The December readings indicated a normal month, with only 70 earthquakes recorded in the Yellowstone National Park region. No earthquake swarms were recorded in December.

  Speculation on a Yellowstone supervolcano eruption always makes for good TV rating and Website page views. But the best evidence indicates nothing spectacular is on the horizon."
