The map compares two periods: The pre-earthquake period includes VIIRS observations made on clear days between March 21–30, 2015; the post-earthquake period includes observations from April 19–28.
Less than a day after the earthquake struck, ESA's Sentinel-1A satellite orbited over Nepal, capturing radar images. Scientists combined these new images with images taken before the earthquake ...
Satellite images of Nepal have revealed the earth's surface has collapsed by about 1.37 metres near Kathmandu, but experts fear the full force of the April 25 earthquake has yet to be released.
Next year, it will be joined by a sister satellite, Sentinel-1b, and this will cut the time taken to acquire the after-quake images, as the pair will be able to map the entire planet every six days.
