Using a Telecom Cable to Measure Sismic Activity
There's been a big thrust to use these cheap, low cost tizmometers that you put out in a huge grid of hundreds and hundreds of them. Fibre tableskin perform quite well in those typs arsituations, but it's not something that's going to sen as a replacement for previous ways of measuring sismic activity. If thi stuff gets widely deployed, you now you could really refine, oh, if you built on that side of town, your earthquake hazard could be a lot worse. Youave real state prices go away down there. E, if i was a v c maybe i invest in this.
