- My latest for @science.org: Researchers at Nokia Bell Labs have done something remarkable -- turned a submarine telecom cable in the Pacific Ocean into, in effect, an array of 44,000 (!) seismic sensors. That's potentially DAS-like precision -- and it doesn't need its own dedicated fibers.
- There's a lot to be seen still of just how precise this data is -- it's early days. And there are other innovative methods like Mermaid floats and SMART cables out there. But still, very cool. (And with that I meet my little bit of AGU reporting quota, despite not attending this year.)Dec 15, 2025 21:23
