Alaska Communications Provides Subsea Fiber for Earthquake Monitoring<\/b><\/p>\n

University of Michigan research team will study seismic activity through technology connected to subsea fiber<\/i><\/p>\n

ANCHORAGE, Alaska–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nAlaska Communications is collaborating with the University of Michigan\u2019s Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences to allow earthquake monitoring data to be collected from the ocean floor via the company\u2019s subsea fiber optic cable.\n<\/p>\n

\nUniversity of Michigan Assistant Professor \u01b5ack Spica and a graduate student traveled to Alaska Communications\u2019 landing station in Florence, Oregon last week to attach a DAS interrogator (distributed acoustic sensing) to the company\u2019s fiber. The instrument uses a beam of light inside the fiber to analyze seismic activity and report data back to the research team.\n<\/p>\n

\nSpica has used subsea fiber optic cables for monitoring in Japan and Spain and has also used fiber within urban areas for this type of research.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWith the Cascadia subduction zone stretching along the pacific northwest coastline along Canada, this is in an ideal location for our team to gather seismic data,\u201d said Spica. \u201cThis research project will support continued learning about utilizing fiber for earthquake research, as well as learn how we can use this technology to provide early warning for tsunamis, which are often prompted by earthquakes.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWith two subsea cables connecting Alaska to the Lower 48, we have substantial infrastructure to aid in research that can help our communities,\u201d said Rick Benken, vice president, network strategy, engineering and operations at Alaska Communications. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to support University of Michigan in gaining important insights about earthquakes and tsunamis.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
