The sensor array joins space satellites and other scientific tools that permit long-distance monitoring of armed conflicts.
Ukrainian military members stand near a missile that stuck from the road after Russian shelling on September 2.in February 2022, the earth has been shaking—not from natural earthquakes, but from bombings and other wartime explosions. By harnessing seismic data from sensors within Ukraine, international scientists have used the ground-rocking tremors after explosions to track the events of the war.
This is the first time such data have been used to monitor explosions in an active combat zone in almost real-time. The results,, show far more explosions than previously reported: more than 1,200 explosions in the war’s first nine months, throughout Kyiv, Zhytomyr, and Chernihiv. “Seismic data provide an objective data source, which is important for understanding what is happening in the war, for providing potential evidence where there are claims of breaches of international law, or for verifying individual attacks,” explains lead authorUkraine claims it built a battle drone called SkyKnight that can carry a bombDando and his colleagues’ data comes from an array of 23 seismic sensors outside of Kyiv.
Such detections can bring clarity to the confusion of armed conflict. It’s especially vital in Ukraine, which has been flooded with
