Los Alamos Scientists Reveal Clever New Method of Detecting Earthquakes and Controlled Blasts

Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) researchers have advanced a new Earthquake detection method after underwater fiber optic cables in Alaska detected detonations from a construction project on land. The Alaskan port city of Cordova had scheduled controlled demolitions to make way for an oil spill response facility and a new road, relatively close to the submerged cables. A team of scientists led by Loïc Viens launched LANL’s Distributed Acous…
