In the early hours of 30 October 2016, a 6.5 magnitude earthquake struck central Italy. Scientists from Italy’s Institute for Electromagnetic Sensing of the Environment combined a Copernicus Sentinel-1B radar image from 26 October with a Sentinel-1A radar image from 1 November to analyse ground displacements caused by the quake.
The results show ground deformations extending across about 130 sq km with a maximum displacement of about 70 cm (in the direction of the satellite), in the area of Castelluccio.
