New Imaging Technique Uses Earth’s Warped Surface To Reveal Rocky Interior
Surface mapping technology such as GPS, radar and laser scanning have long been used to measure features on the Earth’s surface. Now, a new computational technique developed at The University of Texas at Austin is allowing scientists to use those technologies to look inside the planet. The new technique, described by researchers as “deformation imaging,”… Continue Reading New Imaging Technique Uses Earth’s Warped Surface To Reveal Rocky Interior
