The Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI) has developed an offshore measurement method that could help prevent environmental disasters. In a paper published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, researchers from NGI and other institutions describe how they used seismic waves to measure underwater pressure at depths of up to 100 meters. The PAH-sensor will be tested in Norway's Oslo fjord before an offshore test is carried out next year.
The Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI) has developed an offshore measurement method that could help prevent environmental disasters. The PAH-sensor, developed with Kjeller Innovation, can detect low-concentration hydrocarbon leaks in water at an early stage. The PAH-sensor will be tested in Norway's Oslo fjord before an offshore test is carried out next year.
