For telecommunications and security purposes within the Grande Dixence complex, the operator, Grande Dixence SA, required a fibre optic cable in one of the power station tunnels near the the dam.
A research team from ETH Zurich in cooperation with the Icelandic Meteorological Office installed a fiber optic cable around the southern edge of the caldera to monitor the seismic activity of the Grimsvötn volcano and collect more detailed data.
NOR-FROST is the new near-surface fibre optic sensing test site in the backyard of NORSAR, an internationally recognized independent research foundation with specialization in seismology and seismic monitoring.
Fibre-optic cables are emerging as a valuable tool for geoscientists and glaciologists. They offer a relatively inexpensive way of measuring even the tiniest glacial earthquakes – plus they can also be used to obtain more accurate images of the geological subsurface in earthquake-prone megacities.
