2025 Burma Earthquake: North–South Ground Shift

S2 North-South Deformation - 2025 Burma Earthquake
deformation NASA VEDA COG
In plain English

What it measures. Maps how far the ground slid in the north–south direction after the 2025 Burma (Myanmar) earthquake, covering late February to early April 2025.

How it's made. Made by NASA's ARIA team from Copernicus Sentinel-2 optical satellite imagery, comparing before-and-after scenes to measure how the land moved.

How & where you'd use it. Reveals the pattern and extent of ground movement along the fault, aiding earthquake response and scientific study of the rupture.
