Abstract:
We present the first observation of an earthquake using state-of-polarisation monitoring on an aerial cable. Vibration enhanced by the power poles propagates to the fibre cable, motivating the use of densely distributed terrestrial networks for environmental sensing extending information on local geological conditions.
