The total cost includes EU contribution as well as other project costs not covered by EU funding. It is expressed in euros.
This week, a major blackout of the world network affected a relatively large area of several Eastern European countries, Iran and Turkey. The incident
The location is important. Eastern Sicily and Catania, an urban region of 1 million people, have been struck by several devastating earthquakes
The same optic fibers that pulse with the world''s Internet traffic are now listening to the pulse of the planet, picking up earthquake tremors in better detail than traditional seismic networks
New research published Thursday suggests fiber optic cables on the ocean floor could serve as earthquake sensors, Brodsky said. She co-authored a
A new study suggests using fiber optic cables on the ocean floor could track underwater fault ruptures and improve earthquake early warning

This article digs into how a new EU‑funded research initiative, ICON, is turning Europe''s vast fiber‑optic backbone into a giant environmental and security sensor.
Smart cables present an answer to a long-standing problem: How can you detect earthquakes under the oceans, which cover two-thirds of the
Forecasting earthquakes presents a serious challenge on land, but in the oceans that cover around 70% of the Earth''s surface it is all but impossible. However, the vast network of
Fiber opticsm make sense for monitoring earthquakes because "cities already have it as part of their infrastructure, so all we have to do is tap into it."
The global internet is connected by roughly 570 fiber optic cables on the seabed. Recent breaks have industry watchers questioning the resiliency
Eastern Sicily and Catania, an urban region of 1 million people, have been struck by several devastating earthquakes in recent centuries.
Traditional earthquake detection relies on seismometers, but recent advances in optical instrumentation have opened up new possibilities.
There are around 400 fiber optic cables spanning the oceans. These cables are already the backbone of the global Internet—what if they could be the
In this new study, the team examined the light signatures traveling through a stretch of fiber optic cable located in the Eastern Sierra Nevada during the 2021 Antelope Valley magnitude 6 earthquake.
In California, thousands of miles of fiber optic cables crisscross the state, providing people with internet. But these underground cables can also have a surprising secondary function: they can
Scientists in California have successfully used fiber optic cables to measure intricate details of a magnitude 6 earthquake, pinpointing the time and
The 2008 submarine cable disruption refers to three separate incidents of major damage to submarine optical communication cables around the world. The first
Existing undersea fibre-optic cables can detect seafloor movements, offering new potential for earthquake and tsunami monitoring and early warning.
The “Fibre Optic Cable Use for Seafloor” project (FOCUS) has demonstrated how we can use existing fibre-optic cables to detect small
Information travels through a fiber-optic cable via pulses of laser light, most of which moves directly through the hair-thin glass threads.
The same fiber optic networks that provide internet and television can simultaneously act as earthquake sensors, according to a new study from
A fiber-optic cable below Türkiye''s earthquake-prone metropolis is offering new details about how seismic waves will rattle the city—and demonstrating the potential of a bigger monitoring
