A smarter Big Data process – monitoring geohazards from space is the article published on the DLR Magazine regarding the work conducted on GEP by the DLR Earth Observation Center (EOC) team, and its applications in the Geohazards community. Read more about it.
The P-SBAS Sentinel-1 processing on-demand, a service for ground deformation monitoring, has been developed and integrated by CNR IREA into the Geohazards Exploitation Platform (GEP) and is part of the Services Catalogue of the platform since last June 2019. Read more about it.
The Sentinel-2 MSI Level-1C and Level-2A may provide valuable screening products in the context of the Charter activations, in particular for fire events. Read about the new and advanced processing services currently being prepared to be available on the geohazards TEP. Featured image : Sentinel-2 RGB band combination (12, 8A and 4) highlighting hot …
Rapid processing and exchange of information within the geohazards community thanks to GEP thematic exploitation platform. Read the full story about the French earthquake case.
The G-TEP platform is based upon virtualisation & federation of satellite EO data and methods with the aim to provide innovative responses to the needs of the geohazards community. It provides on-demand and systematic processing services for specific user community needs through advanced services available for both Optical & SAR data, connecting to massive compute power on multi-tenant Cloud Computing resources, to address the challenges …
The active fire detection capability of the SLST sensor on board of the Copernicus constellation of Sentinel 3A and Sentinel 3B is being exploited by the European Space Agency to derive systematic consistent counting of fires worldwide. The prototype product and algorithm have been presented at the Remote sensing of forest fire EARSeL conference in …
The ESA EO4SD Disaster Risk Reduction project aims to promote the adoption of Earth Observation-based products and services mainstreamed into the working processes of IFIs funded projects that seek to prevent or mitigate the adverse impacts of natural disasters in developing countries. Earth Observation applied to disasters is evolving quickly and has proven to be …
A strong earthquake of Mw 7.1 struck southern California, United States on July 6, 2019 preceded by another earthquake of Mw 6.4 on July 4. This was the strongest earthquake in California since the 1999 Mw 7.1 Hector Mine earthquake. The earthquake sequence took place on a remote and sparsely inhabited area of California, limiting …
A series of violent and harmful explosions occurred on 3 July afternoon at Stromboli volcano, causing one dead. Glowing hot bombs and lapilli were ejected from all over the summit area and produced an eruption column that rose approx. 3-5 km. A series of fires were caused by the hot debris falling back in the …
Being a mountainous country, with long fjords and steep valley sides, Norway is particularly susceptible to large rock avalanches. In the last 100 years, over 170 people have been killed by tsunamis in fjords caused by large rock avalanches. In each case, the rock avalanche was preceded by many years of slow movement, with acceleration …
