The cable of fiber optics It is the backbone of the Internet. Currently, the line is being built. fiber optics the world's longest cable between Humboldt County and Singapore to improve global connectivity and local broadband service.
Along with the installation of this long transpacific cable, there is an effort to expand Internet access to rural areas of Humboldt County by installing fiber optic cables Shorter cables run along our roads. One such cable runs along Old Arcata Road between Arcata and Eureka.
The fiber optic cables They can detect changes in the ground during earthquakes. Researchers are investigating how the cable's optical parameters change when shaken by an earthquake. With the cooperation of the county, the city of Arcata, PG&E, and local landowners, these researchers installed about 50 seismometers—instruments that respond to ground noise and movement—along the new power line. They are conducting a multi-month assessment of the line, detecting even the smallest earthquakes that occur daily within our highly seismic area. Geology students from Cal Poly Humboldt have been involved in seismometer installation, battery replacement, and data retrieval. They will also participate in future data analysis.
