Iceland Installs Fiber-Optic Cables to Sense Volcanic Threats in Real Time, Giving Early Warnings That Could Save Thousands

IN A NUTSHELL 🌋 Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) technology is being used in Iceland to predict volcanic eruptions with unprecedented accuracy. 🔬 The system utilizes existing fiber-optic cables to detect subtle ground movements, providing early warnings well before eruptions occur. 🤝 A collaboration between Caltech, Icelandic researchers, and Ljósleidarinn transformed the Reykjanes Peninsula into a … Continue reading Iceland Installs Fiber-Optic Cables to Sense Volcanic Threats in Real Time, Giving Early Warnings That Could Save Thousands
