New direction in earthquake warning

NASA scientists have come up with a new way of developing radar systems and aviation maps for earthquake alert purposes.

Earthquakes are one of the most terrible natural disasters that people face, especially as the earthquakes become more unpredictable.

Recent recent earthquakes have claimed millions of lives and physical damage is difficult to measure. Like the earthquakes in Haiti, Sichuan China, Chile and even in Vietnam recently, only a small aftershock.

The early warning of earthquakes has great significance, but extremely difficult. However, NASA scientists have developed a new way of developing radar systems and aviation maps for earthquake alert purposes.

The area of ​​the earthquake in April last year in California, USA, was taken from a plane through radar antenna.

This system will allow scientists to observe the entire surface of the earth. At the same time it will help scientists find fault locations to help them predict future earthquakes.

Above is a picture taken by Gulfstream-III aircraft equipped with a radar antenna in the area where the earthquake occurred in April last year in California, USA.

Donnellan, a member of the system development team, said: "Our principle is to combine surface images with computer models to find faults deep below the ground. comments on geological activities ".

Although it took several years for this system to be completed, it was opening up a new direction for people in the natural conquest and disaster forecast.
