Australia: Satellite Monitoring & Event Situation
Track recent event signals and monitor Australia 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 Australia 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, 37 event signals were recorded in and around Australia, most in the infrastructure category.

Most active areas
Event data powered by the GDELT Project. Figures cover the mapped region around Australia and update hourly. For situational awareness only — not for tracking or targeting individuals.
Why Analysts Watch Australia From Space
Australia alternates between catastrophic bushfire and catastrophic flood, often within the same year. Beyond hazards, the Pilbara’s iron-ore mines and their export ports are among the most-watched industrial sites in the southern hemisphere.
Typical monitoring angles
- Bushfire fronts and burn severity from FIRMS thermal data and NBR analysis
- Queensland and Murray-Darling flood extent with SAR
- Iron-ore stockpiles and bulk-carrier queues at Port Hedland
Monitor Australia From Space
Off-Nadir Delta lets you watch Australia without any GIS software. View Sentinel-1 SAR (all-weather, day or night) and Sentinel-2 optical imagery, draw any area to build a time series with anomaly detection, and overlay active fires.
The Delta Watchfloor adds the event layer: geolocated signals in and around Australia, ranked by severity, that you can connect to satellite imagery in one tip-and-cue workflow.
