  • Publication number: 20240077639
    Abstract: A system, method, and platform for detecting natural resources. Gravitational waves are measured utilizing one or more sensor systems associated with an exploration area. The one or more sensor systems include at least an accelerometer capturing measurements in a range of 1 microhertz to 100 microhertz that are stored in a memory associated with the accelerometer. A fast fourier transform is performed for the measurements to generate processed signals. Natural resources are determined proximate the one or more sensor systems from the processed signals.
