Amatrice, Italy, Before and After the Quake
- European Space Imaging
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.

AI Uses 15 cm Satellite Images to Cut Costs and Increase Scalability in Forest Management and Urban Forestry
Forest managers across Europe face an impossible task: monitor millions of hectares with shrinking budgets while meeting increasingly strict EU environmental targets. But with the rise of AI and satellite technology, they now have new solutions at their disposal – smarter, cheaper, and more scalable – to monitor forest health, automate tree inventories, and plan sustainable logging. In this article, we introduce one of these solutions: an AI forestry algorithm developed by Arboair using 15 cm satellite data from EUSI.
