After days of intense summer heat, devastating fires broke out in Chile, including the Libertador General Bernardo O'Higgins region. The wildland fires destroyed thousands of homes and claimed several casualties and injuries. This map shows the detected burnt area extent as seen on February 06, 2024 and a temporal evolution of the active fires between January 31, 2024 and February 04, 2024 based on satellite information for the area east of the City of Navidad, Chile.The burnt area extent is derived from data of the German hyperspectral satellite mission EnMAP using an adaptive region growing approach based on near-infrared information. The hotspot detection of active fires is based on thermal anomalies from the MODIS and VIIRS sensors.

The map shows the elevation of the surroundings of the Al Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan. The elevation information is derived from ASTER GDEM 2 data (vertical accuracy +/- 6m). Furthermore basic reference information, digitized on the basis of WorldView-2 satellite data acquired on January 03, 2013, at 08:52:52 UTC and LANDSAT-7 data acquired on December 16, 2012 at 08:07:11 UTC, is depicted. Not all settlements are captured. The results have not been validated in the field. ASTER GDEM 2 data as well as a hillshade derived from this data is used as backdrop. Please note, that information on elevation derived from ASTER data does not apply for the refugee camp area. ASTER data was acquired before 2011 and the elevation might have changed due to construction works.

After days of intense summer heat, devastating fires broke out in Chile, including the Valparaíso region. The wildland fires destroyed thousands of homes and claimed several casualties and injuries. This map shows the detected burnt area extent as seen on February 06, 2024 and a temporal evolution of the active fires between February 02, 2024 and February 05, 2024 based on satellite information for the area east and south of Valparaìso, Chile. The burnt area extent is derived from data of the German hyperspectral satellite mission EnMAP using an adaptive region growing approach based on near-infrared information. The hotspot detection of active fires is based on thermal anomalies from the MODIS and VIIRS sensors.

The Al Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan is situated approx. 12 km from the Syrian border and in close proximity to the city of Al Mafraq (10 km). Due to heavy rainfall in the region parts of the Zaatari camp are affected by flooding. The map shows the flood situation derived by semi-automatic image analysis of TerraSAR-X data acquired on January 10, 2013 at 03:38:49 UTC. Furthermore basic reference information, digitized on the basis of WorldView-2 satellite data acquired on January 03, 2013, at 08:52:52 UTC, is depicted. The contour lines were derived from ASTER GDEM 2 data (vertical accuracy +/- 6m). For a more detailed view on the flood situation, parts of the camp area are also shown in the zoom boxes. The results of the image interpretation and analysis have not been validated in the field. WorldView-2 satellite data acquired on January 03, 2013, is used as backdrop. Please note that flood waters in settlement areas might not be fully captured and the water extent might be underestimated due to sensor characteristics. Thus especially shallow water bodies might not be fully captured.

The map shows the Al Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan. It is situated approx. 12 km from the Syrian border and in close proximity to the city of Al Mafraq (10 km). The camp was set up on July 28, 2012, to shelter refugees fleeing the conflict in Syria. The map shows general characteristics of the camp infrastructure, including camp extent, location of shelters, containers and facility buildings, road infrastructure and the runway area. For a more detailed view parts of the camp area are also shown in the zoom boxes. The vector data have been digitized on the basis of WorldView-2 satellite data (0.5 m spatial resolution) acquired on January 03, 2013. The results have not been validated in the field.

The SAR4Tectonics project aims to provide open-access, global measurements of ground deformation in high-strain areas near tectonic plate boundaries. By leveraging the capabilities of the Persistent and Distributed Scatterer (PS/DS) technique with Sentinel-1 SAR images, the project seeks to deliver comprehensive and accurate data on ground deformation, which is crucial for understanding geological processes, assessing seismic risks in these regions, and advance our understanding of Earth's dynamic processes in general. The PS/DS technique offers significantly denser spatial coverage than GNSS, enabling the detection of more localized deformation signals. For the first time, such a vast and detailed dataset is made publicly available. By making this data openly accessible, the SAR4Tectonics project hopes to reduce the burden of SAR data processing for geoscientists, facilitating future studies.The project involved processing 6.5 years of SAR data, focusing on areas where the second invariant of strain exceeds 3 nanostrain per year. Various error corrections were employed, including tropospheric delay correction using ECMWF reanalysis data, ionospheric mitigation via CODE total electron content maps, and solid earth tide modeling. Additionally, the impact of vegetation and soil moisture on distributed scatterers was minimized through a full covariance matrix (phase linking) approach, and the results were calibrated using GNSS data. The final dataset includes line-of-sight average velocity maps, deformation time series, projection vectors, and reference plate modeled velocities.

Eine sogenannte Vb-Wetterlage mit umfangreichen Regenmengen sorgt seit dem 12.09.2024 in Teilen Europas für ansteigende Wasserstände. Besonders betroffen sind Österreich, Tschechien, der Süden Polens und später auch Deutschland. Die Karte zeigt einen Ausschnitt der Hochwassersituation und Schadenslage entlang des Flusses Bober, einem Seitenarm der Oder für die Ortschaften Dychów, Stary Zagór und Chromów Polen, aufgenommen vom Satelliten WorldView-3 (50 cm) am 18.09.2024 im Vergleich zu WorldView-3 Daten vom 05.08.2022. In allen drei Ortschaften sind vereinzelt Straßen bzw. Siedlungsflächen überschwemmt. In der Zoombox ist die starke Wasserströmung an dem Staudamm des Dorfes Dychów zu sehen. Die kleine Insel vor dem Staudamm ist größtenteils überschwemmt. Die Satellitendaten wurden im Rahmen des Projektes „IFAS (Indicator Monitoring for Early Acquisition of Innovative Satellite Sensors in Natural Disasters)“ von dem Projektpartner European Space Imaging bereitgestellt.

Global sulphur dioxide (SO2) layer height as derived from Sentinel-5P/TROPOMI observations. Sulphur dioxide enters the atmosphere through volcanic eruptions and human-related activities. Daily observations are binned onto a regular latitude-longitude grid. The SO2 layer height is provided in kilometres. The TROPOMI instrument onboard the Copernicus SENTINEL-5 Precursor satellite is a nadir-viewing, imaging spectrometer that provides global measurements of atmospheric properties and constituents on a daily basis. It is contributing to monitoring air quality and climate, providing critical information to services and decision makers. The instrument uses passive remote sensing techniques by measuring the top of atmosphere solar radiation reflected by and radiated from the earth and its atmosphere. The four spectrometers of TROPOMI cover the ultraviolet (UV), visible (VIS), Near Infra-Red (NIR) and Short Wavelength Infra-Red (SWIR) domains of the electromagnetic spectrum. The operational trace gas products generated at DLR on behave ESA are: Ozone (O3), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Formaldehyde (HCHO), Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Methane (CH4), together with clouds and aerosol properties. This product is created in the scope of the project INPULS. It develops (a) innovative retrieval algorithms and processors for the generation of value-added products from the atmospheric Copernicus missions Sentinel-5 Precursor, Sentinel-4, and Sentinel-5, (b) cloud-based (re)processing systems, (c) improved data discovery and access technologies as well as server-side analytics for the users, and (d) data visualization services.
