A conceptual lunar fiber seismic network (Background lunar surface image from NASA). The base station provides space and power for the DAS interrogator, data processing unit and telecommunicating ...

Celeste Labedz heard a sound like thunder roll across the ice. She was standing on Alaska’s Taku Glacier, a vast field of snow-smothered ice between towering mountains, when the icequake began: a ...

Just days after a 2020 magnitude 5.1 earthquake in Tangshan, China, researchers turned nearly 8 kilometers of unused telecom fiber optic cable into a seismic array that detected dozens of aftershocks ...

Photonic systems can transform underwater fiber-optic cables into a dense network of seismic stations to illuminate ocean-floor earthquake zones impossible to study today, according to a new study.

Seismic array: researchers used the first 20 km (pink) of an undersea cable that stretches from Moss Landing to the Monterey Accelerated Research System (MARS). Also shown is the earthquake epicentre ...

A large network of undersea telecommunications cables crisscrosses the planet under the water and on land. The cables carry data all around the world, and many of them are owned by Amazon, Facebook, ...
