...eruption comparable to other volcanoes. But we would expect to see more and larger quakes, deformation and precursory explosions out of the lake. We don't believe that anything strange is happening right now." Last summer YVO installed new instrumentation in boreholes 500 to 600 ft. deep to better detect ground deformation. Says Lowenstern: "We have a lot more ability to look at all the data now." (See an interactive graphic depicting how scientists monitor volcanoes...
...deforestation is 20% of the problem, it should be 20% of the solution," according to Benoit Bosquet, team leader of the World Bank's Forest Carbon Partnership Facility, which helps developing countries prepare for REDD projects. Tree-spotting has improved; Japan's alos satellite uses cloud-penetrating radar to detect deforestation even in the rainy Amazon, making projects cheaper to police...
...fuel costs rise, the payback improves," notes Trethewey. A good auditor will use a blower test, which lowers the air pressure inside a home - air from the outside will then rush through openings, revealing any leaks. A truly high-tech test will use thermographic cameras, which detect infrared light, to detect exactly where heat might be leaking...
High-Tech Body Scans. The Transportation Security Administration is expanding its millimeter-wave technology to the Atlanta and Indianapolis airports, making a total of 17 airports that now use the screening process. Passengers are randomly selected for the full body scan, which is used to detect weapons and other threats concealed under clothes; to protect passengers' privacy, the scans are reviewed by TSA officers in a remote location. People who don't want the scan can opt for a traditional full-body pat-down...
...Imagine if arsenic was found in the water supply,” Wagner said. “By measuring the amount of electricity produced by the modified Shewies, we may be able to directly detect the level of contamination...
