Scientists are using satellite data to map ground surface changes
in the aftermath of the recent explosion.
NASA’s Advanced Rapid Imaging and Analysis (ARIA) team,
in collaboration with the Earth Observatory of Singapore, used
satellite-derived synthetic aperture radar data to map the likely extent of
damage from a massive Aug. 4 explosion in Beirut. Synthetic aperture radar data
from space shows ground surface changes from before and after a major event
like an earthquake. In this case, …
