2025 Myanmar Earthquake as seen by Sentinel-1
At 6:20 UTC on March 28, 2025, a major earthquake struck Myanmar (Burma), between the regions of Sagaing and Mandalay. Its magnitude ranged from 7.7 to 7.9 (on the moment magnitude scale) and was felt across a large part of the country, as well as in several neighboring countries. As of April 5, the provisional […]
INterpolated FLOod Surface (INFLOS), a Rapid and Operational Tool to Estimate Flood Depths from Earth Observation Data for Emergency Management
In the context of flood emergency mapping for the Copernicus Emergency Management Service – Rapid Mapping (CEMS RM), the SERTIT Rapid Mapping Team has developed a tool for a rapid estimation of flood depth: (INterpolated FLOod Surface) delivers flood depth estimates in under 30 minutes, empowering civil security services with information to better understand the […]

Descartes Underwriting and SERTIT Collaborate on CNES-Supported Project
Facilitated by support from CNES, the French national space agency, the French tech-driven insurer providing parametric insurance against climate and emerging risks, Descartes Underwriting and the public research lab specialized in remote-sensing and image processing, SERTIT, are advancing the application of data and science through its joint collaboration. Following a highly competitive application process, Descartes and SERTIT have […]
Volcanic eruption in Grindavík vicinity, Iceland
Important seismic and volcanic activity struck the area around the city of Grindavík at the end of the year 2023. A volcanic cycle began in early 2020 around this locality, located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, with magma movements below the surface and the formation of a graben. In particular, significant tectonic activity and ground movements […]
