Albania: Satellite Monitoring & Event Situation
Track recent event signals and monitor Albania from space — geolocated events, the most active areas, and satellite imagery in one place. Free to browse on the Delta Watchfloor.
Quick answer — what Off-Nadir Delta is
You can monitor Albania from space on Off-Nadir Delta — viewing Sentinel-1 SAR and Sentinel-2 optical imagery, tracking any area over time with anomaly detection, and overlaying geolocated event signals (from global news media) and active fires. In the past 7 days, 13 event signals were recorded in Albania, most in the protest category.

Why Analysts Watch Albania From Space
Albania’s satellite record includes the magnitude 6.4 earthquake of 26 November 2019, centred 15 km west-southwest of Mamurras, and the July 2025 wildfires near Dukat in the south and Lure Natural Park in the north, which triggered a Copernicus rapid-mapping activation. The Port of Durrës adds ferry and cargo traffic.
Typical monitoring angles
- Pre/post Sentinel-1 SAR comparisons of towns around Durrës and Mamurras after earthquakes such as the November 2019 M6.4
- Wildfire hotspots and burn scars near Dukat and Lure Natural Park via NASA FIRMS and Sentinel-2 change detection, as in July 2025 (Copernicus EMS EMSR816)
- Ferry and cargo traffic at the Port of Durrës with SAR ship detection
