Researchers Make Mount Etna Sing

The Interfacer writes "Predicting eruptions will become easier now scientists are using technology to translate the patterns in a volcano's behaviour into sound waves. "The research project, which brings together experts from Europe and Latin America, digitally collects geophysical information on seismic movements before using data sonification to transform them into audible sound waves, which can then be 'scored' as melodies. The resulting 'music' is then analysed for patterns of behaviour and used to identify similarities in eruption dynamics and so predict future activity."

And they are recruiting Network Engineers ... by jose.de.arce · 2006-08-09 23:05 · Score: 2, Informative

DANTE seems to be Recruiting some network engineers, but they don't mention Volcanos. Maybe is in the small print in the employee contract.
Cheers.
