Thoughts on averting it? We'd have to apply artificial pressure to the air inside the chamber, which seems ridiculously difficult. (As an aside, a book I now vow to write, no matter how scientifically inaccurate: is the story of the most dedicated suicide bomber of all time, who penetrated our defenses around the Yellowstone caldera and blew it up by releasing the pressure.)

The interesting thing is that computer simulations of these scenarios should be able to give us a good idea of what approach to take.

That sounds awesome!!! Write it!!! I would love to help if you have any questions or you need someone to go over a draft. Check out the BBC docudrama about a Yellowstone eruption for some ideas as well!
