Episode notes
INSIGHT

Deep Spiral Structures Under Khafre

  • Filippo Biondi used SAR-Doppler tomography to detect deep subsurface structures beneath the Khafre pyramid extending over a kilometer deep.
  • He reports eight cylindrical, spiral-wrapped tubes connecting the pyramid base to huge chambers about 80m across and high.
INSIGHT

Combining Photons And Phonons For Tomography

  • Biondi developed a new SAR method combining photon and phonon boundary information to retrieve subsurface vibrations.
  • This Doppler-tomography approach converts surface vibrational modulation into deep tomographic slices.
ADVICE

Apply Doppler Tomography To Risk Monitoring

  • Use SAR-Doppler tomography for practical monitoring like volcano magma chambers and infrastructure.
  • Biondi recommends integrating radar vibration data with in-situ seismographs for validation and safety applications.
