Description

The Danish NDC and the Danish Embassy are organizing a panel debate on fiber sensing at the upcoming SnT2025. Fiber sensing is in the process of transforming how we detect signals from explosions and earthquakes. National seismic networks around the globe are working on methodologies for including Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) in their daily work, a technology that also has enormous potential for hydroacoustic sensing using existing submarine fiber cables. This event will kickstart a discussion on new monitoring technologies for seismology (and hydroacoustic?). What are the advantages? What are the limitations of fiber sensing? Should IMS / OSI include fiber sensing, and would this be possible within the current wording of the treaty? What would be the challenges for NDCs in terms of downloading and integrating IMS DAS-data? And the challenges for OSI? The participants in this panel will be representatives from NDCs, PTS, DAS experts and cover a deep understanding of the technical possibilities within the treaty.
