Volcanologist and Earth Sciences New Zealand principal scientist, Graham Leonard is back this week looking at the technology driving new Earth science.
This wide ranging tech allows scientists to understand our planet and continent better, from new satellites and drones, to regular laser and radar based scanning of the country, integration with bespoke AI, quantum tech on deep ocean fibre cables to detect tsunami, and analysing wobbles in GPS signals through the ionosphere to detect Space Weather and maybe also tsunami.
