Spotting geohazards with Sentinel-1 Released 12/05/2016 2:58 pm Copyright contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data (2016), processed by DLR/ESA/Terradue Description Earth Observation Center Pairs of Sentinel-1A radar images from consecutive passes over the same spot on Earth s service are processed continuously and automatically to provide medium-resolution (200 m) images. This, and related interferograms, allows users to identify ground movement and other changes that may have occurred between satellite acquisitions. The service currently covers tectonic areas in Europe. Covering three million square km, this represents 360 interferometric pairs every 12 days 4 /11

Copernicus impact to employment in Europe (by 2030): - creation or maintenance of approximately 20.000 direct jobs in Europe,. if enabling factors are put in place. - the cumulative growth until 2030 in comparison with 2011 is 12.600 new jobs in the downstream sector. - the economic stimulus by Copernicus could also result in a wider economic effect, with an additional 63.000 indirect jobs secured or created December 2012 40
