Summary
editDescriptionLandslide in Alta, Norway.jpg |
English: A destructive landslide of 3 hectares swept eight buildings into the sea on 3 June. The landslide occurred in the Alta Municipality, a municipality at the northern tip of Norway. There were no injuries or fatalities, even though there were two people in the cabins at the time of the landslide who managed to escape. The cause of the slide is not yet known, but it could be related to the saturation of the soil caused by the melting snow and heavy rainfall in the area. This mosaic, obtained with images acquired by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite on 27 May and 13 June, shows the area affected by the landslide before (top left) and after the event (top right), and a multitemporal image (right) with the areas affected by the slide appearing in red obtained by combining the before and after data. Data derived by Copernicus Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellites are suitable for mapping and monitoring landslides. |
