Canada: Satellite Monitoring & Event Situation
Track recent event signals and monitor Canada 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 Canada 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, 55 event signals were recorded in and around Canada, most in the natural disaster category.

Event data powered by the GDELT Project. Figures cover the mapped region around Canada and update hourly. For situational awareness only — not for tracking or targeting individuals.
Why Analysts Watch Canada From Space
Canada’s boreal wildfire seasons now burn at continental scale, sending smoke across the hemisphere — a phenomenon born for satellite monitoring. The opening Arctic, oil-sands operations, and Pacific port congestion at Vancouver add year-round themes.
Typical monitoring angles
- Boreal wildfire detection and burned-area mapping across remote provinces
- Arctic sea-ice conditions along the Northwest Passage
- Oil-sands mining footprint growth in optical time series
Monitor Canada From Space
Off-Nadir Delta lets you watch Canada 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 Canada, ranked by severity, that you can connect to satellite imagery in one tip-and-cue workflow.
