The findings offer a real-world demonstration of how “dark fiber” can be used to create an ultra-dense seismic array for post-earthquake monitoring in urban areas, reducing the deployment time and ...

New research from The University of Texas at Austin could change the way scientists think about potential damage from earthquakes. The study examined data from one of the densest seismic arrays ever ...

HOUSTON, Nov. 18-- El Paso Corp. let contract to MicroSeismic Inc. for a buried-array seismic monitoring program in its Haynesville shale development program south of Shreveport, La. The buried array, ...

HOUSTON, Oct. 3-- OYO Geospace Corp., Stafford, Tex., installed the industry's largest permanent subsea system in Valhall oil field off Norway to facilitate time-lapse seismic acquisition to improve ...

Scientists have known that seismic waves slow down when passing through ultra-low velocity zones, or ULVZs, but only knew they existed around hotspots that create volcanic island chains. Now, a new ...

Just days after a 2020 magnitude 5.1 earthquake in Tangshan, China, researchers turned nearly 8 kilometers of unused telecom fiber optic cable into a seismic array that detected dozens of aftershocks ...

According to physics, seismic waves from earthquakes should travel in a four-leaf clover pattern, but in the real world they behave more like ripples in a pond. New research has found the pattern ...
