The paper in question here (and I have not been able to get the article itself) is, I think really discussing the influence of near-surface (meteoric) water admixing with the geothermal. To some extent I think this is sort of a "Duh" sort of thing... but like I say, I haven't seen the article.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>From:</B> <A title=mailto:thedulcimerlady@juno.com href="mailto:thedulcimerlady@juno.com">Lucille Reilly</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To:</B> <A title=mailto:geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu href="mailto:geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu">'Geyser Observation Reports'</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> Friday, May 30, 2008 9:04 PM</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> RE: [Geysers] Fw: (USGS/NPS News Release) What Makes an OldGeyserFaithful?</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV>I find this very interesting because I remember the ranger saying on a<BR>geyser walk in 2000 that OF's water supply is about 500 years old.  Not so?<BR>Now I wonder how that info came about.<BR><BR>Lucille Reilly<BR><BR><BR>-----Original Message-----<BR>From: <A title=mailto:geysers-bounces@lists.wallawalla.edu href="mailto:geysers-bounces@lists.wallawalla.edu">geysers-bounces@lists.wallawalla.edu</A><BR>[mailto:geysers-bounces@lists.wallawalla.edu] On Behalf Of<BR><A title=mailto:Lee_Whittlesey@nps.gov href="mailto:Lee_Whittlesey@nps.gov">Lee_Whittlesey@nps.gov</A><BR>Sent: Friday, May 30, 2008 10:22 AM<BR>To: <A title=mailto:geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu href="mailto:geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu">geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu</A><BR>Subject: [Geysers] Fw: (USGS/NPS News Release) What Makes an Old<BR>GeyserFaithful?<BR><BR><BR><BR>----- Forwarded by Lee Whittlesey/YELL/NPS on 05/30/2008 10:21 AM -----<BR> <BR><BR>                      YELL Public<BR><BR>                      Affairs                  To:<BR><BR>                      Sent by: Al Nash         cc:       (bcc: Lee<BR>Whittlesey/YELL/NPS)                                        <BR>                                               Subject:  (USGS/NPS News<BR>Release) What Makes an Old Geyser Faithful?            <BR> <BR><BR>                      05/30/2008 09:26<BR><BR>                      AM MDT<BR><BR> <BR><BR>For Immediate Release - May 30, 2008<BR><BR>WHAT MAKES AN OLD GEYSER FAITHFUL?<BR><BR>New research suggests that how often Old Faithful and other Yellowstone<BR>geysers erupt may depend on annual rainfall patterns.<BR><BR>____________________________________________________________<BR>Need cash?
