At the Long Valley Supervolcano in California, a new hot spring just formed at the Hot Creek Geologic Site. Whereas there used to be a white and altered patch of ground, there is now an approximately 20 foot long pond of incredibly hot water which should under no circumstances be touched. Does this indicate anything about the Long Valley volcano? This video answers this question and discusses the geothermal feature in depth.

I used to swim in Hot Creek right there where those hot blue pools are, but in 1973 those pools were not there. There was an area too hot to swim in next to the swimming area. Over the years it started being too hot and the underwater rocks would burn people's bare feet. In 2004 after a geyser event I heard they closed Hot Creek to swimming. It can still geyser now and then, it's not a big geyser, just boils up 3 or 4 feet. I did see a video of one that shot up about 15-20 feet in the air. I can't find the video anymore.

Seems fairly reasonable to speculate this new hotspring comes as a result of exceptionally wet winter California had this year. More water seeping into the crust, creating a higher than average water table, while overlaying the hotspot seems logical that it would create a new hotspring. If this is the case I would assume it would be temporary until the water table drops to background levels once again.

@aaronjackman4037 it would be bad if an entire river were to get unimpeded access to the magma chamber, but that kind of thing only happens in an Amazon Prime version of Lord of the Rings. In real life, water seeps, reaches a level where temperatures are high enough to boil it, then it rises back to the surface as a fumarole or a geyser or a hotspring.

We used to swim in Hot Creek; it was great because one could find spots in the river where the cold water mixed with the hot water to the perfect temperature. Swimming was banned after a late night Earthquake caused temperatures in the river to suddenly spike. Fortunately, no one was swimming at the time, or they would have boiled alive. After that incident, swimming in Hot Creek was banned.

Not a new Hot spring, it's a new vent to the same hot springs. Happens a lot in this particular stretch of Hot Creek. Mostly it's caused by the intrusion of large amount of water from big snow years, which we just had.

Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve, Parks Canada ... May 2017, " The three pools were built thanks to a joint, 2016 funding announcement between the Haida Nation and Government of Canada and the elbow work of Gwaii Haanas asset management crew. The three new hot pools delighted visitors from near and far, many happy to experience the hot pools once again. The hot pools drained in October 2012 after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake shook Haida Gwaii. Hot water has been slowly returning to the area ever since and we look forward to once again offering natural hot water bathing.

You mentioned the deposition of travertine. That’s very interesting. The exterior of the Colosseum in Rome was originally covered with slabs of travertine (long ago taken [mined?] to be put to use in other projects.) I had always assumed travertine formed the same way limestone or marble does from the buildup over millions of years of calcium carbonate, usually on a sea floor.

I swam in Hot Creek in the early '70's. It was common knowledge then(warning signs posted) that new hot springs formed all the time. People animals had been injured or killed, repeatedly , over the years. Walk off trail, at your peril- at risk of falling in to a hot spring "sinkhole". I forgot when it was closed to swimming, but it was decades ago.

I went there in 1971-72-73 all the time. There wasn't many signs that I remember and the swimming area where those blue pools are now had a too hot area right next to it. Some people's dog jumped into the 180 degree water, it was horrible, but that was the only super hot area of the creek. Dog went down stream and was out of the hot water quickly, but it was burned with blisters. There was also a rock underwater that would burn your feet if you stepped on it hard enough, but you could feel rumbling on some rocks from water boiling up. Luckily for the dog the hot water was mostly on the North bank and cold water shot around on the South side. I used to camp out upstream from the hot part, but there were boiling pots and a few fumaroles up the creek for quite some distance. They closed Hot Creek in 2004 after a geyser event with boiling hot water in the middle of the creek. There is still an area where you can swim, but they don't allow it cuz of stupidity. They have signs saying to leash your animals and I've seen people let their dogs loose with boiling pots and fumaroles all over.

Obviously the Eastern Sierra recieved record snowfall (Mammoth Mountain will be open for July 4th 😂🎉), but between the snow pushing down and the geothermal vent pushing up, I'm wondering how much pressure it puts on the rocks? Maybe we'll see an increase of earthquakes or a new lava dome forming too?

Its a fascinating volcanic system but yeah changes to the hydrothermal system don't say much about the overall magmatic system at least not independent of other measurements. That said regarding melt fraction technically its possible for such a volcano to produce a relatively small eruption even if the overall melt fraction is low because real world magma chambers are heterogenous in their composition and melt fractions and thus you can get pockets which do exceed the threshold to produce an eruption. Also if the stuff related to the geochemistry/geophysics leading up to Taupo's last super eruption is any indicator this kind of system can in principal with the right(i.e. wrong) circumstances transition into an eruptive state from a relatively stable magmatic system with a timescale of only decades to centuries (i.e. less than a thousand years). I that case apparently 4 different compositionally/thermodynamically distinct magma bodies/intrusions appear to have been brought into contact, likely via a major strike slip fault rupture, ultimately initiating vigorous convection which allowed for rapid crystal fractionalization as the latent heat and incompatible elements could be transferred elsewhere in the magmatic system. That latent heat then can lead to huge build ups of pressure on timescales too short for hydrothermal or magmatic systems to release the energy via less explosive means.

It's all about framing. We're very attuned to thinking in terms of human lifespans. One thousand years is barely a blink in planetary science, where there are processes that can take billions of years to manifest. So over the course of one billion years, that thousand year process will have cycled and manifested one million times. While not initially intuitive, that feels like "usual" planetary behavior to me. However, by adjacent logic, one thousand years makes for an event that can essentially only ever happen once in a human lifetime, and at less than a ten percent chance to even happen at all. I'd call that an unusual event in the eyes of a human.

@@glershnern5300 ​ I generally agree that people often tend to get overly semantic, but that's really not what we're dealing with here. It's simply incorrect to call something both common and unusual. That's not just going overboard with semantics, it's patently wrong. I don't mean to come down on you or anything, I was just initially pointing out that I find such timescale perspective shifts interesting, and your reply happens to be problematic. No worries, I hope this finds you well!

Yellowstone was remeasured recently, the new estimates for the upper chamber are 28% melt. Your data is either out of date or mistaken.
