[Geysers] Excelsior & GPS

[Davis, Brian L.]

Bruce Jensen & I were having a discussion about Excelsior and Grand Prismatic Spring, and came up with two question I couldn't answer (so I thought I'd ask here). First, did Grand Prismatic Spring have any response to eruptions of Excelsior? It seems remarkable if it didn't have some response such as decreased flow or at least temporary level changes, but I've been unable to find anything on this. Second, are there other examples of such high flow volume features with such significantly different hydrostatic levels located this close to each other (and what is that due to - very different hydraulic conductivities, i.e., one has significantly greater hydraulic "friction" than the other)?
