Nepal: Satellite Monitoring & Event Situation
Track recent event signals and monitor Nepal 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 Nepal 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, 16 event signals were recorded in Nepal, most in the natural disaster category.

Why Analysts Watch Nepal From Space
Nepal’s satellite story is one of mountain hazards: the April 2015 M7.8 earthquake, monsoon floods and landslides such as those of late September 2024 that cut the roads into Kathmandu, and glacial lake outbursts like the one that swept through Thame in August 2024.
Typical monitoring angles
- Flood and landslide mapping in the Kathmandu Valley and along blocked highways with Sentinel-1 SAR, which sees through monsoon cloud
- Glacial-lake size change above Thame in the Khumbu region tracked in Sentinel-2 optical time series
- Earthquake damage comparison across the hill districts with pre/post Sentinel-1 SAR scenes and terrain (DEM) context

Monitor Nepal From Space
Off-Nadir Delta lets you watch Nepal 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 Nepal, ranked by severity, that you can connect to satellite imagery in one tip-and-cue workflow.
