A part of the Aragon Photonics team traveled to Banda Aceh, Indonesia, to participate in the 2nd Global Tsunami Symposium organized by UNESCO-IOC.
Under the theme “Two Decades After the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami: Reflection and the Way Forward,” the event brought together experts and decision-makers from around the world to discuss the latest advancements in science, engineering, and early warning systems, aiming to improve preparedness and disaster mitigation for tsunamis.

In this context, Aragon Photonics presented the SAFE project, an innovative initiative funded by the HORIZON Action Grant Budget-Based program. This project aims to develop a tsunami early warning system utilizing the existing infrastructure of submarine fiber optic cables.

Our colleague Aitor Garcia Serrano, PhD, delivered an oral presentation highlighting the progress of the SAFE project. Additionally, we were present throughout the symposium with a booth and in the poster area with Poster 65📍. During the event, we showcased how our technology, based on DAS (Distributed Acoustic Sensing), is revolutionizing Earth sciences by enabling more effective early detection of tsunamis.

This symposium was not only an opportunity to share the progress of the SAFE project but also to establish professional connections with experts worldwide who share the same goal: improving safety and preparedness against this natural phenomenon.

We are excited to share that from October 7 to 10, we will be participating in the “Photonic Seismology: Lighting the Way Forward” meeting, hosted by the Seismological Society of America in Vancouver, where we are proud to be one of the sponsors.

During those days, three of our colleagues will be presenting how our HDAS technology, based on Chirped Pulse, offers excellent performance for analyzing events in the field of seismology and earth sciences.

If you would like to learn more about this topic, you can find us on Wednesday, October 9, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at our exhibition space, where a demonstration with real data of our updated interface will be available.

In addition, you can check out a poster by our colleague Javier Preciado, which delves into how the application of array seismology methods in Distributed Acoustic Sensing data gathered in trackside fibers can provide a significant amount of information on the terrain features and the railway superstructure.

We hope to see you there!

Next week we will be at the Optica Sensing Congress, from July 15th to 19th at Le Centre de Congrès Pierre Baudis, Toulouse, France. During the congress, two of our colleagues will be giving talks on the Distributed Acoustic Sensing sector.

We would be delighted if you could join us:

The first talk, on Tuesday the 16th at 14:00, will be given by our colleague Javier Preciado, who will discuss the application of array seismology methods to Distributed Acoustic Sensor data collected in fibers along railway tracks. This collected data provides significant information about the terrain characteristics and railway superstructure.

Additionally, our colleague Jorge Canudo will be speaking on Friday the 19th at 16:45 about HDAS applications. He will focus on traffic monitoring, using CP-ΦOTDR technology in a fiber buried under the road shoulder.

We look forward to seeing you there!
