Colombia: Satellite Monitoring & Event Situation
Track recent event signals and monitor Colombia 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 Colombia 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, 15 event signals were recorded in Colombia, most in the kinetic category.

Why Analysts Watch Colombia From Space
Colombia’s environment ministry reports IDEAM’s quarterly deforestation early warnings for the Amazon, naming Meta, Caquetá, Guaviare and Putumayo and conversion to pasture among the causes. In the Andes, the Servicio Geológico Colombiano described Nevado del Ruiz as unstable in August 2026, with continued SO₂ degassing through Arenas crater.
Typical monitoring angles
- Forest loss in Guaviare and Caquetá detected with Sentinel-2 NDVI change, with Sentinel-1 SAR when cloud persists
- Nevado del Ruiz: thermal anomalies via NASA FIRMS and surface change around Arenas crater with Sentinel-2 and terrain (DEM)
- Ship activity at the Buenaventura maritime terminal and its access channel with Sentinel-1 SAR ship detection
