🌋Sardinia (Italy) stands out as a perfect candidate for the Einstein Telescope📡, given its exceptionally low seismic noise.

Diaferia et al. investigate the noise characteristics and use them to image the local subsurface.

🌍 Earth’s interior can be mapped like a CAT scan — using seismic waves!
Oceans lack of seismometers, leaving blind spots in global tomography ❌
Now, 49 underwater robots 🤖 deployed in the South Pacific have filled in the gaps, boosting resolution & efficiency 1000x!
