Amatrice, Italy, Before and After the Quake

On hearing about the earthquake early this morning European Space Imaging’s satellite tasking operations team managed to collect the first satellite image of the damage at 10:21 am (UTC).

If you compare it to the high-resolution satellite image taken on the 9th August 2010 you can clearly see the effects of the earthquake in the town centre of Amatrice, Italy.

Using Satellite Imagery to Build Water Resilience Across Europe

Water across Europe is facing severe pressure. Climate change, urbanisation, agricultural demands and other sources of pollution are threatening water security and creating critical challenges that need to be addressed. We have to act quickly, build stronger systems and create sustainable water resilience practices – so that both natural ecosystems and human communities can thrive. Here is how satellite imagery from EUSI can help.
