Listening to the Atmosphere
During the Clinton administration, the United States joined a worldwide International Monitoring System, created to detect nuclear tests. One system uses Infrasound Stations to record and interpret the noises in the atmosphere – undetectable by human ears. Next Big Thing producer Amanda Aronczyk talks to three of those scientists who spend their days listening to the surprising sounds the earth makes. For more information on their research, go to www.inframatics.org.Thanks to Dr. Milton Garces at the University of Hawaii.
