Researchers at the California Institute of Technology, in collaboration with Icelandic scientists, have developed a new ...

demonstrates how DAS sensors at the Reykjanes Peninsula can give the public warnings on lava eruptions up to 30 minutes in advance. The key to this method is in fiber-optic cables that react to ...

The success suggests fiber optic detection could prove useful in monitoring similar cracks that might open in the rock of a carbon storage reservoir or a geothermal energy system, he noted.
