Since the early 2000s, ecologists who monitor rocky intertidal ecosystems each year have noted declines in a key intertidal seaweed commonly called rockweed. Rockweed is considered a foundational species, meaning that its presence is so important that without it the entire ecosystem would change radically. At Channel Islands National Park, marine ecologists are working with local scientists to understand the best methods to restore rockweed.

Norris Geyser Basin Trails (Cistern Spring Junction)
- Type: Place

Norris Geyser Basin is one of the hottest and most acidic of Yellowstone's hydrothermal areas. It is outside of the most recent Yellowstone caldera, but inside the first and largest caldera. It sits on the intersection of three major faults and is a very active earthquake area.Each year, new hot springs and geysers appear while others become dormant. Geologic events trigger many of these changes. Even small earthquakes can alter hydrothermal behavior. Clear pools become muddy
