Following the April 2015 earthquake in Nepal, Sentinel-1 acquisitions over the affected area were made available through a shared data package on the Geohazards Exploitation Platform.
The package was created during the early validation phase of GEP to help users access the relevant Sentinel-1 products directly from the platform, together with the corresponding archive. At that time, the available processors were still limited and mainly used by early adopters involved in the validation activities.
The screenshot above shows the shared data package in the GEP Geobrowser, with Sentinel-1 products covering Nepal and the surrounding region. This type of shared package was used to make relevant EO data easier to find, access and process by users working on earthquake and landslide analysis.
The original objective remains relevant today: after a major geohazard event, users need quick access to suitable EO data, processing services and shared products. GEP supports this by allowing data and products to be organised, shared and used within the platform environment.
Users interested in publishing InSAR results or other value-added products derived from Copernicus Sentinel data should include appropriate credits, for example:
Contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data.
Additional metadata, captions, legends and credits should be provided with the product to make it easier to discover and reuse.
