A new approach to geophysical real time measurements on a deep sea floor using decommissioned submarine cables
... If we can reuse such resources, real-time geophysical ob- servatories on a deep-sea floor could be realized with high reliability and at a reasonable cost. Based on this idea, scien- tists in Japan and the ...
