Following a powerful earthquake in Panama, the Institute of Geosciences has identified more than 2,300 landslides across the country. The discovery was made through analysis of Copernicus Sentinel-2 L2A satellite imagery. These images were processed by the institute to pinpoint areas impacted by ground movement. The identification of these landslides is crucial for assessing the full extent of the earthquake's damage. This data will assist in determining areas needing immediate aid and future risk assessments. The use of satellite technology allows for rapid and comprehensive damage mapping in Panama, facilitating a faster response. Further analysis will likely reveal more details about the distribution and severity of the landslides.
