Fiber Optic Gyroscope Developed to Monitor Ground Rotations in Seismically Active Area of Naples

Researchers in Naples, Italy have developed a state-of-the-art fiber optic gyroscope to monitor ground rotations caused by earthquakes in the Campi Flegrei volcanic region. This innovative technology aims to improve seismic activity understanding, enhance risk assessment, and strengthen early warning systems in densely populated areas. By capturing both linear and rotational movements during seismic events, the fiber optic gyroscope offers high-resolution, real-time monitoring capabilities. Integrating ground rotation measurements into existing sensor networks could provide valuable insights into volcanic earthquake signals, ultimately improving monitoring capabilities and risk mitigation strategies in seismically active regions.
