How GPS Can Keep Track of Earthquakes and Flooding
Data synthesis and sensor coverage make for better monitoring of natural disasters.We usually think of GPS as a way to find out where we are and how to get where we’re going. But over the past couple of years, researchers have discovered that GPS, when combined with sensors such as accelerometers and barometers, can be an important tool for evaluating and possibly predicting earthquakes and flash floods.
