Dark fiber lays groundwork for long-distance earthquake detection and groundwater mapping

(DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory) Researchers at Berkeley Lab have turned parts of a 13,000-mile-long testbed of 'dark fiber', unused fiber-optic cable, owned by the DOE Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) into a highly sensitive seismic activity sensor that could potentially augment the performance of earthquake early warning systems currently being developed in the western United States.
