With their superior smooth taste and many fine varieties, arabica coffee beans make up around 60%-70% of global coffee production.

Key Points: 
  • With their superior smooth taste and many fine varieties, arabica coffee beans make up around 60%-70% of global coffee production.
  • Coffee cultivation also directly supports the livelihoods of 25 million family farmers with another 100 million people involved in coffee processing and retailing.
  • This study could help produce coffee varieties with higher yields and more resilience to climate change.
  • With more detailed information about the genetic makeup of coffee, researchers can begin to use these methods to improve coffee varieties.

Painstaking geological research has revealed it produces very large (magnitude 7-8) earthquakes about every 300 years – with the most recent one in 1717.

Key Points: 
  • Painstaking geological research has revealed it produces very large (magnitude 7-8) earthquakes about every 300 years – with the most recent one in 1717.
  • Scientists estimate there’s a 75% chance of a large Alpine Fault earthquake in the next 50 years.
  • Despite the unparalleled quality of the paleo-seismic record of past Alpine Fault earthquakes, the next big earthquake will come without warning.

The Haast DAS experiment

    • A new experiment in Haast, a small, remote community near the coast in South Westland, is using technology called Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS).
    • The Haast DAS experiment is a trans-Tasman collaboration between geophysicists from the Australian National University and Victoria University of Wellington Te Herenga Waka.

Fibre-optic seismology

    • Vibrations of the fibre caused by passing seismic waves modulate this scattering and can be detected by recording the scattered light pulses.
    • This produces a staggering volume of data: about 1Gb of new data every minute, or 1Tb of data every day.
    • The density of DAS measurements across the Alpine Fault provides an entirely new way of studying the fault’s internal structure.

Big data provides detailed information

    • High-performance computing and artificial intelligence techniques (AI) are being developed and adapted to these data to enable researchers to recognise and distinguish signals of different origins.
    • Being able to separate out these two types of information is a task well suited to AI.
    • In the future, it is likely AI will help tease apart DAS data to detect otherwise unrecognised signals produced by atmospheric and subterranean processes.
