ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico, May 3 -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Sandia National Laboratories issued the following news release:
Geoscientists have detected specific gases being released from fractured rocks in real time after a series of small chemical explosions set underground.
This fundamental research, led by Sandia National Laboratories geoscientist Steve Bauer, could one day improve the prediction of earthquakes or detection of underground explosions.
