Technology to listen to the volcanoes
What happens inside a volcano? A network of infrasound sensors accurately monitoring activity inside the massifs to anticipate emergencies
The journey of a radiotelescope
UdeC is leading the Leighton Chajnantor Telescope (LCT) Project, which seeks to move the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory (CSO) radio telescope from Hawaii to Chile. In collaboration with Caltech and the Shanghai Normalist University, this project will establish UdeC as the first academic institution in southern Chile to operate an international telescope.
Dos problemas, una solución UdeC
Por un lado, la construcción de viviendas requiere aislantes nuevos, hechos con materiales sustentables. Por otro, la industria maderera genera residuos de cortezas de eucalipto que, al quemarse, producen toneladas de CO2. Descubre cómo estos dos problemas se unieron en la Unidad de Desarrollo Tecnológico (UDT), para dar forma a una solución licenciada a la empresa Aislacor.
Earthquakes and data: science to make decisions
The Alluvial Basin Site Response Observatory (ORSCA, in Spanish) is a pioneering initiative for South America. The project’s eight seismometers, six on the surface, have been placed across sites with different geological and geotechnical conditions throughout the capital of the Biobío Region.
