Indonesia to Deploy Submarine Optical Cables for Tsunami Detection
Ahmed Emam Indonesia is set to enhance its national tsunami early warning system by integrating submarine optical cable technology, aiming to improve the accuracy and reach of detection in seismically active regions, according to a report by TV BRICS, citing "Antara News". The initiative will be incorporated into the warning system currently managed by the Indonesian Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG). BMKG Head Dwikorita Karnawati emphasized the importance of advancing technological innovation to bolster the country's disaster preparedness infrastructure. 'This technological innovation research is needed to strengthen the existing tsunami early warning system,' Karnawati said. While traditionally used for telecommunications and data transfer, submarine optical cables can also detect variations in underwater pressure and wave activity—key indicators of potential tsunami events. Given Indonesia's expansive marine territory and the prevalence of undersea cables, this dual-use application offers a cost-effective and wide-reaching solution. 'If this optical cable can detect tsunamis, then sensors can be more evenly distributed throughout the region, including marine areas that currently do not have a detection system,' Karnawati noted. Addressing the growing threat of natural disasters—particularly the devastating impact of earthquakes and tsunamis—has emerged as a key focus of international cooperation. In May 2025, BRICS member countries convened a ministerial meeting in Brasília to coordinate responses to climate-related disasters. During the session, member states agreed on a joint declaration and a 2025–2028 action plan, outlining priorities such as strengthening early warning systems, investing in resilient infrastructure, and integrating local knowledge into disaster risk manag strategies. read more UAE's Lunar Mission Delayed to Tomorrow Twitter Lifts Trump's Account Ban Scientists Find Evidence Of 10،000 Black Holes Surrounding The Center Of The Milky Way Galaxy Greenhouse In Antarctica Able To Grow Vegetables Without Soil Or Sunlight Moving Over China: U.S. Is Again Home to World's Speediest Supercomputer Technology The 10 most expensive cars in the world Technology Top 10 fastest cars in the world Technology Lasers Could Make Computers 1 Million Times Faster Technology Smart technology taking control of our lives News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream

Experts, MPs, call on state to take warnings of Alexandria sinking seriously
The severe storm that struck Alexandria Governorate on Saturday early morning renewed the concerns of many public affairs experts and experts at the National Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries (NIOF). These concerns were linked to numerous scientific studies issued by international scientific institutions, such as NASA, which revealed that the extreme climate changes impacting Alexandria could result in more extreme natural phenomena akin to the recent storm. These studies warned of the potential for the coastal city to sink, especially as sea levels rise. A recent study issued by the Technical University of Munich in Germany warned of the accelerated erosion of Alexandria's coasts and the collapse of hundreds of buildings due to the rising sea level of the Mediterranean Sea, and the intrusion of saltwater into the foundations of buildings. The ever growing threat of climate change The professor of marine sciences at the Faculty of Science at Alexandria University, Mohamed Shaltout, said that the history of climate change's reported impact on global average temperatures began in 1854, with the next warmest year being in 1990. He explained that temperatures rose by six degrees Celsius by the end of that period, which he cited as preliminary evidence of climate change. Climate change is the long-term impact on meteorological factors, he explained, which includes temperatures, rainfall, and weather patterns- consequently impacting all aspects of life. He noted that climate change will worsen water scarcity, further exacerbating shortages in already water-poor areas. Shaltout said that sea levels off the coast of the Egyptian Delta, especially Alexandria, will not exceed 29 cm in the worst-case scenario. This means that Alexandria is safe from total submersion, but added, 'We must manage the coasts more efficiently to deal with this slight increase.' He spoke about the risks posed by climate change, including coastal submersion and the subsequent displacement of their populations, the potential for drought and subsequent water scarcity, which will impact agriculture, and rising temperatures and the resulting migration of animals northward. MPs urge the state to act The head of the Liberal Constitutional Party, Mohamed Magdy Afifi, urged the state to take scientific warnings about Alexandria's vulnerability to submersion seriously, conducting in-depth study with experts from NIOF and the Faculty of Marine Sciences and Technology. This will help determine the best methods for addressing these warnings through future plans to protect Alexandria. Afifi noted that the destruction of 280 buildings over the past two decades, with 7,000 buildings at risk of collapse in the coming period, is a serious matter that requires in-depth scientific study by specialists. A member of Parliament for the Montazah district in Alexandria, Abul-Abbas Farhat Turki, said that climate change is going to impact many countries around the world and all marine systems, and Egypt will suffer greatly for it. He pointed out that parts of Alexandria, Marsa Matrouh, Beheira, and Kafr el-Sheikh are at risk of submersion and extinction, which requires swift action to develop future plans to address the crisis. Turki warned that global scientific institutions have issued studies showing that parts of Alexandria will likely be submerged and that the city is being impacted by climate change, due to rising sea levels. This requires careful preparation through marine protection projects, he added. A member of Parliament for the Raml district in Alexandria, Aly al-Dessouki Ahmed, also expressed deep concerns about the impact of climate change on Alexandria. He referred to NASA scientist Essam Heggy's statement regarding the possibility that large parts of Alexandria, its suburbs, and areas in northern Egypt being submerged, which will requires a concerted effort to save the coastal city. Dessouki said that climate change is a complex and pivotal issue, and 'We must conduct a comprehensive assessment of crisis management to ensure we are well prepared for future storms and environmental or marine disasters that may occur as a result of climate change and rising sea levels.' He praised the Alexandria Governorate's agencies for managing Saturday's severe weather, but warned that future storms could be more severe and difficult, requiring all agencies to maintain the highest level of preparedness. A Member of Parliament for the Montazah district in Alexandria, Mohamed Hussein al-Hamamy, said that Saturday's storm was a real test on how to manage crises and disasters in Alexandria. While the governorate had succeeded in dealing with it and mitigating its impacts, Hamamy warned that climate change is difficult and requires special preparations to manage. He explained that the state must act must use realistic scientific plans to confront this threat and prevent the city from sinking. This can be achieved by establishing marine protection projects for beaches along the Alexandria Corniche coastline and taking urgent measures to protect Alexandria from increasing rainfall rates brought on by climate change, he added.

NRIAG official explains cause behind recurring earthquakes in the region
The head of the Seismology Department at the National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics (NRIAG), Sherif al-Hadi, addressed rising concerns over the recent wave of earthquakes that have struck the region, including the earthquake that occurred on Monday, with others even linking the severe Alexandria storm to them. During a phone interview with the Extra News channel on Tuesday, Hadi explained that the recent earthquakes were located within the active seismic belt in the Mediterranean Sea, which extends from Cyprus to the island of Crete and the surrounding areas. 'These earthquakes are frequent and regular in the seismic belt, which has historically been known for its activity. However, what happened recently was a sudden seismic activity known as seismic storms.' Hadi explained, 'Despite the recurrence, all the earthquakes we recorded were at great depths, up to about 60 kilometers, making them less dangerous to infrastructure and not causing significant material damage. This is a safe depth that reduces the risk of destruction. There is a significant difference between deep earthquakes and shallow earthquakes, which can leave dangerous aftershocks.' Feeling earthquake tremors is normal in these active areas, he assured, adding that there are no indications of an imminent disaster. 'All we are experiencing is a period of natural seismic activity, such as solar activity or other natural phenomena. Earthquakes cannot be predicted accurately, but we are monitoring them continuously,' he said. Hadi concluded his remarks by further reassuring citizens, saying, 'Thankfully, Egypt is experiencing less seismic activity compared to neighboring countries like Cyprus, Greece, and southern Turkey. This activity we are experiencing is normal and does not warrant excessive concern. We hope this period passes peacefully, and we urge everyone to follow preventive instructions.'
