Monica Kohler, a Caltech senior research fellow, says the gadgets allow scientists to monitor seismic frequency changes in the building during a large earthquake, a signal that severe damage has ...

Caltech researchers have introduced a new seismic technology called distributed acoustic sensing (DAS). Using DAS, the method ...

Imagine repurposing underground fiber optic cables, typically used for delivering high-speed Internet to California residents, to detect and measure earthquakes. That is the focus of a recent resea… ...

Thousands of miles of fiber-optic cables, already in place across California, can shake up the study of earthquakes. New research out of Caltech used a section of telecommunication fiber to sense ...
