Q&A: Things you need to know about the earthquake near Santorini
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain From January 24th, weak to moderate earthquake accumulation has been recorded around Santorini, Greece. Seismic activity is concentrated in the area between the islands of Santorini and Amorgos, with the center approximately 25 km northeast of Santorini. The Geomar Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research Kiel and the GFZ Helmholtz Center for Geosciences Potsdam categorize the current…

How the communication cable can imagine the ground under us
With the help of IS & T employee John Morgante (right), EAPS Ph.D. Student Hillary Chan, a student, uses Mit’s existing optical fiber in -frustration as a way to imagine the ground under the campus. I have done it. Credit: Hillary Chang When people think about optical fiber cables, it is usually about how they are used to access and…

Research emigrates as a danger factor for earthquakes and identifies the quality of houses.
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public domain Most of the earthquakes collide into the fire circle. This is a volcanic string and structural activity that wraps the Pacific coastline. However, when an earthquake strikes, the area that experiences the strongest shaking is not always the largest damage. In the fall of 1999, it caused a large -scale damage in Taiwan and adopted a…

Research is discovered that the carbon capture of the constructed wetland decreases with age.
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public domain A new study suggests that the constructed wetlands do good jobs in the early days of capturing carbon in an environment that contributes to climate change, but the abilities will decrease over time as the wetlands mature. 。 Researchers investigate soil core samples collected from two constructed freshwater wetlands, and compare them with previous research data…

Doi: 10.1038/S41561-024-01630-Y The new Cornel University LED research is an active volcano expelled during the eruption, and has a long belief that it has a large magma body that breaks down over time as the volcano is dormant. Researchers have used seismic…
