Researchers from IIT Madras have developed a new approach to detect earthquakes.
IIT Madras: Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras have developed an alternative method for accurate detection and picking of the first waves in earthquake signals, which provides a small lead time and enables measures to save lives. The research can help in developing a robust Early Warning System which can give a lead time of approximately 30 seconds to 2 minutes till the destructive surface waves hit the ground.
The research was undertaken by Ms. Kanchan Aggarwal, under the guidance of Prof. Arun K Tangirala, Department of Chemical Engineering, IIT Madras.
