Following the devastating earthquake that struck Morocco on 8 September 2023, radar measurements from Europe’s Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellite mission are being used to analyse how the ground has shifted as a result of the quake. This will not only help in planning the eventual reconstruction but will also further scientific research into the effects of earthquakes. Sentinel-1 acquisitions from 30 August 2023 and 11 September were combined to produce this interferogram, the coloured fringe pattern shows surface displacement.
