Muva nje, kutholwe ukuthi izintambo ezijwayelekile ze-fiber optic zingasebenza njengezinzwa zokuzamazama komhlaba. Ukudlidliza oqweqweni lomhlaba kuthinta ikhebuli ebekwe endaweni yomsebenzi futhi kubangele ukuchezuka kuzinga lokuhlakazeka kwe-beam yokukhanya kumagagasi. Izinto ezisetshenziswayo zicosha lokhu kuchezuka futhi zikuhlonze njengomsebenzi wokuzamazama komhlaba. Ezivivinyweni ezenziwa ngonyaka odlule, isibonelo, kusetshenziswa izintambo ze-fiber-optic ezibekwe phansi, kwakungenzeka ukurekhoda ngisho nezinyathelo zabahamba ngezinyawo.
Kunqunywe ukuthi kuhlolwe lesi sici sezintambo ezibonakalayo ukuze kuhlolwe ukuziphatha kwezinguzunga zeqhwa - yilapho insimu ingalinywa khona. Izinguzunga zeqhwa ngokwazo zisebenza njengezinkomba zokushintsha kwesimo sezulu. Indawo, umthamo kanye nokunyakaza (amaphutha) kwezinguzunga zeqhwa ezinkulu kunazo zonke eMhlabeni kunikeza ulwazi olubalulekile lokubikezela isimo sezulu sesikhathi eside kanye nokubikezela ukuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu. Okubi kuphela ukuthi ukuqapha izinguzunga zeqhwa usebenzisa imishini yendabuko yokuzamazama komhlaba kuyabiza futhi akutholakali yonke indawo. Ingabe izintambo ze-fiber optic zizosiza kulokhu? Ochwepheshe abavela eSwitzerland Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH Zurich) bazamile ukuphendula lo mbuzo.
Iqembu lososayensi eliholwa ngu-Andreas Fichtner, uprofesa e-Laboratory of Hydraulics, Hydrology and Glaciology e-ETH Zurich, baya e-Rhone Glacier. Ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa, kuvele ukuthi izintambo ze-fiber optic zingaphezu kwamathuluzi amahle kakhulu okurekhoda umsebenzi wokuzamazama komhlaba. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ikhebula elibekwe phezu kweqhwa neqhwa ngaphansi kokushisa kwelanga ngokwalo lancibilika eqhweni, okudingeka ngokuphelele ekusebenzeni kwenethiwekhi enjalo yezinzwa.
Inethiwekhi edaliwe yezinzwa enamaphoyinti okurekhoda okudlidliza ngokunyuka kwemitha elilodwa nje ngobude bekhebula ihlolwe ngochungechunge lokuqhuma okulingisa amaphutha ku-glacier. Imiphumela etholiwe idlule konke obekulindelwe. Ngakho, ososayensi maduzane bangase babe namathuluzi ezandleni zabo azosiza ukulandelela izinguzunga zeqhwa ngezinga eliphakeme lokunemba futhi baxwayise ngokuzamazama komhlaba ezigabeni zokuqala ze-crustal.
