Map of the ground deformation

February 3, 2018

Data from the radar satellite COSMO-SkyMed of the Italian Space Agency (ASI) has shown the surface ground deformation, allowing researchers from CNR-Irea and INGV to carry out the first evaluations of the affected area.

 A part of the studied area shows that a deformation up to 15 centimetres occurred. The map below (Figure 1) shows the distribution of ground deformation; more information is available here: Terremoto in Emilia Romagna: il sollevamento dell’area è arrivato a 15 centimetri (in Italian).
