Magnitude 4.9 Earthquake Mapped Using Sentinel-1 SAR Data Processed on NASA’s HyP3 Platform
A magnitude 4.9 earthquake struck 16 kilometers from Paphos, Cyprus, at 12:29 AM on September 4, 2024, in a close proximity to the “Tombs of Kings” case study of the project. Using data from Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery, detailed ground deformation caused by the earthquake has been mapped. The data, processed on NASA’s HyP3 platform, provides mapping ground displacements into the seismic shifts in the affected region. The analysis compares satellite images from August 25, 2024 (before the earthquake),...
