Distributed Acoustic Sensing

Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is a potentially transformative technology in the geosciences and engineering. The rapidly increasing interest in DAS arises from its use in continuous arrays that can be kilometers in length while providing spatial resolution of meters and frequency response from millihertz to kilohertz. This mailing list provides a forum for discussion on all topics related to DAS technology including: applications, installation, data acquisition, handling and processing of data, engineering and scientific technical development, and advertisement of upcoming events, workshops, meetings, or other opportunities in the DAS community.

DAS PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds
2022-12-08 12:47:40
Good morning / afternoon / evening! I hope this email finds you well. This is just a very quick message to promote a DAS-focused PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds, as part of our NERC PANORAMA Doctoral Training Programme. The proposed project uses DAS to look at landslide initiation, in partnership with the British Geological Survey (BGS) and industrial partners RSK Geophysics. The student will have access to Leeds' own interrogators, and can access existing data from BGS's Hollin H… [more]
