NASA Satellite Detects Tree Leaf Changes as Early Volcano Eruption Warning Signal
NASA and Smithsonian scientists find that greener trees seen in satellite images may warn of upcoming volcanic eruptions. The change is linked to rising carbon dioxide emissions from magma, which trees absorb and display through greener leaves. This method could enhance early warning systems and improve public safety near active volcanoes.

New Algorithm Uses Fiber Optic Cables to Improve Earthquake Detection Globally
Researchers have developed an algorithm that converts fiber optic cables into seismic sensors, improving earthquake detection and early warning systems. The method integrates fiber optic and traditional seismometer data, overcoming challenges in earthquake monitoring. The technology could also help detect seismic activity in volcanoes and glaciers....
