Using ocean-bottom seismometers—normally deployed to study earthquakes—the researchers have, for the first time, revealed the internal structure of these massive currents. Their findings are ...

New research from Victoria University of Wellington shows that low-cost, off the shelf seismometers can add great value to earthquake monitoring and even show promise as early detection devices.

Last May, the international team successfully deployed 35 Ocean Bottom Seismometers (OBS) on the seafloor offshore Gisborne, where they have continuously recorded earthquakes and any upwards or ...

When comparing the original laser signal with the light that exits the fiber optic cable, researchers can determine the strength of the seismic wave by checking how much the beam was distorted. Data ...

Alongside the GeoNet land-based sensor network, NHC is also funding a temporary network of ocean-bottom seismometers to study the Hikurangi subduction zone off Wellington’s coast. There are ...
