Monday, November 6, 2023

DALLAS, Nov. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- North Texas Innovation Alliance (NTXIA) – a 501(c)3 regional consortium of more than 40 municipalities, agencies, corporations and academic institutions across North Texas with a mission to build the most connected, smart and resilient region in the country – today announced the city of Fort Worth as its newest member. Fort Worth joining NTXIA signifies a major step towards the city's continued commitment to enhancing quality of life, safety, public health and welfare of residents in the region through a data-driven approach. 

Key Points: 
  • "Bringing Fort Worth into the alliance further strengthens our regional efforts in broadening smart city growth and economic development across North Texas," said Jennifer Sanders, NTXIA Co-Founder and Executive Director.
  • As the fastest-growing large city in the country, Fort Worth has adopted a systematic and purposeful approach to smart city integration, with broadband integration as a central focus.
  • In partnering with NTXIA, Fort Worth will receive practical guidance on integrating these projects into a globally recognized, world-class smart city ecosystem.
  • We are also taking a proactive and regional approach to smart infrastructure upgrades that don't stop at the city limits.

Seismology at light speed: how fibre-optic telecommunications cables deliver a close-up view of NZ's Alpine Fault

Retrieved on: 
Friday, June 16, 2023

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.
