Glacier Quakes: Fiber Optics to the Rescue!

Scientists just pulled off something wild in Switzerland: they used fiber optic cables on a glacier and caught nearly 1,000 mini 'icequakes' as crevasses formed! This new method could totally change how we monitor glaciers—and maybe even help with carbon storage and geothermal energy in the future. The tech is so precise, it could spot cracks before they become a problem. Who knew glaciers could teach us so much about saving the planet? #ScienceWin #GlacierWatch #Innovation #Science
