Unused Fiber-Optic Cables Exploited for Use in Seismic Monitoring

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have demonstrated for the first time that dark fiber - the massive network of unused fiber-optic cables installed all over the country and the world - can be used as sensors for detecting earthquakes, changes in permafrost conditions, the presence of groundwater, and a variety of other subsurface activity.

Advanced Seismic Station for Exploring Hydrocarbons

A seismic station for investigating the presence of hydrocarbon has been created and analyzed at the MIPT Center for Molecular Electronics (CME). The innovative device has an unprecedented bandwidth which allows it to uncover the structure of underground reservoirs even at depths of tens of kilometers.

First Ever Seismic Test Conducted on CFS Building

At the University of California a group of engineers are analyzing a lightweight steel-frame structure that is six-story high. The building is tested on the biggest external seismic shake table in the world. The objective of the experiment is to determine how well cold-formed steel buildings are able to sustain fires and earthquakes that may occur. As of date the six-story structure is the largest of its kind to be subjected to a shake table test.

NASA Suspends Launch of 'Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations Geodesy and Heat Transport' Mission

After thorough examination, NASA managers have decided to suspend the planned March 2016 launch of the Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations Geodesy and Heat Transport (InSight) mission. The decision follows unsuccessful attempts to repair a leak in a section of the prime instrument in the science payload.

Baghdad Seismometer Provides Seismic Record of Explosions and Ammunition 'Cookoff' During Iraq War

The seismometer was built for bigger bangs. Housed in a Baghdad office, it was used to study how seismic waves caused by earthquakes differ from those caused by nuclear test explosions as they pass through the region’s crust. But in 2006, the instrument was picking up the background sounds of an escalating war.
