Fiber Optic Sensing Detects Tremor from Icelandic Subglacial Volcano

Published on 6 July 2022 | Journals, News, TSR
DAS experiment on Icelandic subglacial volcano

6 July 2022–Researchers used a fiber optic cable on the ice cap of an Icelandic subglacial volcano to detect low-frequency volcanic tremor, suggesting this technology could be useful in monitoring other ice-covered volcano systems. Their research published in The Seismic Record indicates that the floating ice cap, part of the … Continue Reading »

Seismic Noise Analysis Could Help Monitor Potential Hazards in Active Mine

28 June 2022–An active underground mine can be a seismically noisy environment, full of signals generated by heavy machinery at work and induced seismicity. Now, researchers working with data from a longwall coal mine demonstrate a way to extract and separate the signals generated from mining activity from the background … Continue Reading »

“Hindcasting” Helps Identify Causes of Induced Earthquakes in Delaware Basin

HF wells in Texas

27 June 2022–Using a method that works backward from a set of observed earthquakes to test seismic models that fit those observations, researchers working in the Delaware Basin were able to determine whether earthquakes in the region since 2017 were caused by oil and gas operations. The new study published … Continue Reading »

Models Show How Topography Influences Ground Shaking in Seattle Area

Squak Mountain, Seattle

3 May 2022–Including topography—the hills, cliffs and valleys of a landscape—in ground motion models shows where shaking might be most amplified during an earthquake, researchers demonstrate with detailed new models of the Puget Sound region. In their models, Ian Stone of the U.S. Geological Survey and colleagues simulated several magnitude … Continue Reading »

Two Largest Marsquakes to Date Recorded from Planet’s Far Side

TSR marsquake locations

22 April 2022–The seismometer placed on Mars by NASA’s InSight lander has recorded its two largest seismic events to date: a magnitude 4.2 and a magnitude 4.1 marsquake. The pair are the first recorded events to occur on the planet’s far side from the lander and are five times stronger … Continue Reading »

Researchers Lay Out Case for DAS in Earthquake Early Warning

Published on 13 April 2022 | BSSA, Journals, News

13 April 2022–The rise of fiber-optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) in seismology could prove a useful addition to earthquake early warning systems, researchers write in the Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America. DAS uses the tiny internal flaws in a long optical fiber as thousands of seismic sensors. An … Continue Reading »
