The West Triplet and Rift geysers are important members of the Grand Geyser Group, one of the most prominent geyser groups in Yellowstone National Park. The West Triplet and Rift geysers have been studied as possible influences on the intervals of Grand, although the relationship remains unclear. The Rift geyser erupts only after West Triplet has been active except when Rift is coming out of a dormant period. This research project examines the quantitative details of the relationship between the Rift and West Triplet Geysers using electronic data from 2003 to 2008.
