Underwater Fiber Optic-Based Approach Improves Earthquake, Tsunami Monitoring
PASADENA, Calif., March 5, 2021 — Seismologists at Caltech developed a method for the detection of natural disasters — namely earthquakes — that leverages the capabilities of underwater telecommunication cables already in operation. The method, which does not require additional equipment or instrumentation, analyzes light that travels through these so-called lit fibers to monitor earthquakes and ocean waves, converting the fibers into geophysical sensors. Previous efforts based on optical fiber infrastructure
