About
Built for people who watch geysers closely.
Geyser Gazette turns live observations and historical eruption records into a map, searchable archive, daily replay, and opt-in alerts.
Who runs the Gazette
Geyser Gazette is built and run by Craig Munson, a Yellowstone geyser gazer who has written the Geyser Summary for The Sput, the newsletter of the Geyser Observation and Study Association (GOSA), since 2022. The Gazette grew out of that work: turning large amounts of eruption data into something people can read and use. Questions and corrections are welcome through the contact page.
What the Gazette does
The Gazette helps visitors and geyser enthusiasts move between current activity and historical context. Individual geyser pages show recent records and descriptive timing patterns. The live map focuses on reported eruptions as they occur.
Community observations
Registered contributors may submit eruption observations and field notes. New reports are reviewed, corrections remain auditable, and established contributors earn trust through consistently accepted observations.
Sources and independence
Geyser Gazette contains information from GeyserTimes, made available under the Open Database License. Gazette observations are identified separately and may become the preferred public record when they match the same geyser and eruption time.
This is an independent project and is not affiliated with the National Park Service, GeyserTimes, Canon USA, Yellowstone Forever, or the webcam operators.
Webcam acknowledgement
The live streaming webcam is made possible by the Eyes on Yellowstone program funded by Canon USA, Inc. through a grant to Yellowstone Forever and by volunteer webcam operators around the United States.
