The flooding of @YellowstoneNPS wasn't inevitable - but an unfortunate combination of events fell on tipped scales.

An atmospheric river and warmth that helped melt snowpack struck a landscape already improving from last year's drought.

It was a recipe for disaster.

#Yellowstone #bears movement vary throughout their lives. Some never stray far, while others search far for food & mates. This #map + #chart tracks a bear’s month-long 320 mi. journey – crossing rivers highways & roads, traversing public lands, & venturing into local communities.

@adamTford The Yellowstone Cougar Project uses tools like GPS accelerometer collars and remote cameras to document predation patterns and behaviors. Get the atlas to learn more!

#YellowstoneNP carnivores such as #cougars, #bears, and #wolves compete for food resources. This map, using data collected by the Yellowstone Cougar Project, tells the story of Cougar F207 who killed three elk over 7 days due to bears displacing her from her kills. 🐆🐻🐺

#YellowstoneNP is home to 350+ #waterfalls, many of which are concentrated in the side canyons of the Yellowstone River. This map snippet shows waterfall locations by type and height, while the chart compares different types and heights of several popular park waterfalls.

#YellowstoneNP’s remoteness and min. outdoor lighting provide the chance to learn about the night sky. Strict rules limit lighting to developed areas, keeping the park beneath a true dark sky. These efforts enhance the visitor experience & protect wildlife from light pollution

It’s easy to think of #OldFaithful and other #Yellowstone #geysers as a synonymous part of the park. But the geologic & hydrologic conditions needed for geysers are rare. Yet, the park is home to some 500 geysers across 9+ geyser basins, each with highly variable eruption cycles

🎉🎉Happy birthday @YellowstoneNPS!! On March 1, 1872, @YellowstoneNPS was established as the first national park in the world. The 1872 Yellowstone Act “dedicated and set apart as a public park or pleasuring-ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people.” #Yellowstone150

The Atlas of Yellowstone, Second Edition was created to celebrate this monumental anniversary in the world of conservation, the legacy of Yellowstone National Park, and the challenges that @YellowstoneNPS all conservation—face in the future. #Yellowstone150

This @LOCMaps historical map featured in #AtlasYellowstone shows the Hayden 1871 scientific survey of the Upper Geyser Basin in present-day @YellowstoneNPS. Hayden, a proponent for the park’s founding, was likely the first to draw what became the #Yellowsone150 original borders.

These atlas maps portray snow depth and extent variability across the Yellowstone region. Storms moving in from the Pacific encounter the topography of the Central Plateau and the Tetons, causing the air to rise, cool, and generate snow that drives profound ecological processes.

Development along Yellowstone Lake’s shores began with the Lake Hotel in 1891 to provide shelter for visitors arriving via stagecoach. Like other park areas, development at Lake is challenged by balancing the needs of visitors with stewardship and conservation responsibilities.
